Gold in the Southern Appalachians and Carolina Leads
A Geological Survey report by George F. Becker details gold districts in the Southern Appalachians, highlighting the Carolinas and Georgia. Since 1799 the region produced about 45 million dollars, with Carolina about 13 million, Georgia 16 million, and North Carolina 23 million. Cabarrus County, NC, is noted for famous nuggets and a record nugget found recently. Becker says the area is promising for mining investments, likely 10 to 15 percent returns, but warns against expecting bonanzas.
