Ken Moore Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Were you near Dahlonega (site of first U.S. gold rush), my wife and I used to go down for the Gold rush festival every year. The fall season has lots of color. Quote
Big Country Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Posted November 7, 2007 You are exactly right we were at the Loud mine. We had a blast! Quote
BudMan Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 I got the fever! I have panned for gold in Colorado when I was younger. Not at the tourist traps, but in streams leading down from a glacier. It was a lot of fun. A native from the area taught us to go to the old abandoned assay sights and pan the dirt from the bottom of the slag heaps. The gold from the slag (the piles of crushed ore used during the assay process) had settled through the years to the bottom of these piles. Got the fever but never got rich. Bud Quote
