The rich gold history of the southern U.S. is well known and my state of Georgia was the first American gold strike ever. I plan to cover my home state pretty well this summer as I go on a gold finding adventure. The biggest veins of gold are in North Georgia and some of these cross the state border and travel into North Carolina. Another area that is rich in gold and contains huge deposits of the shinny stuff is the state of North Carolina. I will probably do a fair share of prospecting in the Carolina hills, streams, rivers, and valleys that already have a history with gold.

I plan to do a lot of sample panning to find the places which hold the most gold. If I do get into some heavy pockets of gold in North Carolina, I may have to enter the marketplace for Apartments in North Carolina. I’m not joking, I am being very serious when it comes to finding and tracking down where all the gold is hiding. Gold is selling for over 1K dollars an ounce right now and this is more than double what people were selling gold for 10 years ago. Any lucky spots I find up in North Carolina, I will want to work from daylight to dark, so the employees for North Carolina Apartments better be on the lookout for a dirty gold miner from Georgia.

I don’t believe I am in the minority and most prospectors would change their plans or living arrangements to keep a close eye on their gold discoveries. I do find it strange that most people haven’t put two and two together yet and started their own gold expeditions. If you and one other person could find just 1 ounce of gold a week, that’s a 500 dollar job for the two of you. Maybe some weeks you would struggle and fall short of that mark. You also have the possibility of striking it rich and may be able to work several ounces out of the Earth. It’s the days like that you would want to go get one of those NC Apartments or housing that was available in the local area. The weather is finally warming up. I need to stop talking and start walking to these areas; like the rich gold deposits the Tar Heel state provides, for anyone that is willing to get their hands dirty.
