Jason searched for and, with the aid of Medea, found the Golden Fleece right here in Kutaisi. Kutaisi is located in what was formerly known as Colchis. Kutaisi is located on the Rioni River, which is navigable from the Black Sea- no problem for the Argo. There are flakes of gold in the streams in this area. The locals string sheep skins across streams to collect the gold, hence the golden fleece. But in a surprise addition to our tour, we are off to where the Argonauts fought the harpies. (I'm not sure of this, but they fought someone before they navigated up the Rioni.)
