AuWanderer Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Incredible gold, from state of Virginia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Yep, there were 300 or so mines and prospects in Virginia, earliest discovered around 1800 and most abandoned after free labor vanished in 1865. Though some were worked until 1940-1950s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 The gold pyrite belt on the eastern seaboard travels from the Potomac River, Virginia's northern border, south through North Carolina, South Carolina, and terminates in Georgia. There are a number of recreational pay to play mines in North Carolina as well as gold prospecting clubs. Here's another picture. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted July 13, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hey Guys, Sound great looking gold from different areas. Thanks for sharing.

fishing8046 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Rob It is never about the find but always the quest. I am hoping to have a small impact on your motivation, I understand the incredible gold finds you have discovered, but maybe being a believer the best part of any day hunting. Taking time to recognize the beauty of Gods creations. It doesn't matter if it is a view of the clouds, a sunset, a bird, whatever it is, it is a connection to God that is unequaled. We are only here for a short time sometimes the only real connection is out in Gods Country. Now go find a new patch! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
