Just when you think the story is getting routine, it gets more exciting. I just cannot imagine working on a crew like that. Now I see why the gold fever struck so many people. In Dahlonega, GA the gold and silver strikes out west caused most of the Dahlonega, gold miners to leave Dahlonega and head west. The mayor or some other Dahlonega official told the miners to stay in Dahlonega because "There is gold in them thar hills" which later became a famous saying.

Yes, gold fever is real.

   This is one of the areas Jed's crew dug and is south of the first diggings. The slides caused by winter rain & snow have covered over their old diggings. It is actually on the side of the fault line well above the base. I don't think they spent much time here but rather were taking samples in an attempt to find mineable ground.
