GotAU? Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Thanks for posting that Gerry, I had no idea NC had a significant amount of gold deposits, here is an interesting historic reference about it - there still might be some really big lunkers just waiting to be found out there!😉 “The first documented discovery of gold in the United States was in 1799 at John Reed's farm in Cabarrus County, NC. John Reed’s son, Conrad, found a 17-pound gold nugget while fishing in Little Meadow Creek. This discovery started the first gold rush in the nation's history.” https://gastonlibrary.libguides.com/gold 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I have seen people in N.C. panning and dredging our there before a few years back. My grandfather and I went to his friends place in the country to do some hunting with him. We were able to get a small amount in the sluice, and had a little better luck panning soil from the banks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
