North Carolina Gold Prospecting, Gold Panning, Treasure Hunting and Rockhounding
Three hundred North Carolina gold mines and gold prospecting
locations are shown in 34
counties on the North Carolina gold map. A 17 pound gold nugget was found in 1799 by a 12 year old boy, Conrad Reed, in
a creek on the Reed farm in North Carolina. The nugget was used as a doorstop for three years. You will enjoy visiting the Reed Gold Mine, the nation’s first, at Stanfield. It has gold displays,
gold mining equipment, a film, gold panning facilities and tours of the gold mine
(704-721-4653). Also, see the
North Carolina Minerals Museum at Spruce Pine and the Colburn Gem and Mineral Museum at Asheville. There are extensive national forests in North Carolina with beautiful streams
where you may prospect and pan for gold. The national forests are shown on your gold
prospecting and panning map.
Some other gold nuggets found in North Carolina were: 28 pounds, 25 pounds and 15 pounds.
Gold mines and prospecting locations continue on the adjoining Virginia,
South Carolina and Georgia gold prospecting and panning maps.
South Carolina Gold Prospecting, Gold Panning, Treasure Hunting and Rockhounding.
One hundred thirty South Carolina gold mines and prospecting
locations are
shown in 17 counties on the South Carolina gold map. There were several operating gold mines in South Carolina
in recent years. The Ridgeway Gold Mine, about 25 miles from Columbia, became one of the largest primary gold
producing mines in North America. There are gold mines and gold prospecting and panning sites near Greenville, Spartanburg, Clemson, McCormick, Newberry, Greenwood, Camden, York, Rock Hill, Lancaster and Pageland.
Please see the detailed list of cities on the South Carolina page of
this website. Treasure hunters using metal detectors like to
hunt for gold nuggets in the gold
areas and hunt for old coins and jewelry at the rural schools and churches shown on the
prospecting and panning maps.
Gold mines and prospecting locations continue on the adjoining North
Carolina and Georgia gold prospecting and panning maps.
Georgia Gold Prospecting, Gold Panning, Treasure Hunting and Rockhounding.
Five hundred Georgia gold mines and
gold prospecting locations are shown in 37 counties on the Georgia
gold map, extending from south of Atlanta to
the North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama state lines. Georgia is a wonderful state for gold prospecting, gold panning, treasure hunting and rockhounding. There was a major gold rush in 1828 at Dahlonega,
Georgia. Vice President John C. Calhoun mined
gold at Auraria, Georgia. Villa Rica, west of Atlanta, and just
off of Interstate 20, is another Georgia gold rush town. Villa Rica is known as “The Golden City”. Visit
the Dahlonega Gold Museum. It has displays of Georgia gold nuggets and gold
coins minted at Dahlonega, plus a film and lectures about Georgia gold (706-864-2257). The Consolidated Gold Mine
and Crisson Gold Mine at Dahlonega are open to visitors and gold panning may be done there. You
will also enjoy panning for gold and gemstones at "Gold 'n Gem Grubbin"
at Cleveland, Georgia.
Gold mines and prospecting locations continue on the adjoining North Carolina,
South
Carolina and Alabama gold maps.
Virginia Gold Prospecting, Gold Panning, Treasure Hunting and Rockhounding.
Two hundred Virginia gold mines and gold prospecting
locations
are shown in 15 counties on the Virginia gold prospecting and
panning map. Virginia has a long history of placer gold and lode gold
mining. Gold prospectors from other states go to the Virginia gold mining and
prospecting sites to pan, sluice, or dredge for gold. Treasure
hunters use their metal detectors to hunt for gold and Civil War relics.
Gold mines and prospecting locations continue on the adjoining North Carolina gold map.
Alabama Gold Prospecting, Gold Panning, Treasure Hunting and Rockhounding.
One hundred forty Alabama gold mines and gold prospecting
locations are shown in seven
counties on the Alabama gold map. Gold mining in Alabama began in the 1830's and the hobby of
recreational gold prospecting and panning is enjoyed by many people today. A geological report states: “The Hilton Brothers reopened the pit. They succeeded in obtaining 65 ounces of gold from a hole 3 feet by 2 feet by 20 inches; the result of half a day’s work.” The
gold mines and prospecting locations in Alabama start between
Montgomery and Birmingham and run eastward.
Gold mining and prospecting locations continue on the adjoining
Georgia gold map (and on to Washington, D.C.).
