Gold mines in Frederick and Montgomery counties explored
A Frederick County inquiry details the Goldmine site along Goldmine Road near Mt. Philip Clifton Roads. Investigators report 10 by 10 foot pit remains, hillside excavation, and concrete foundations of an assay office, with records showing The Brosius Development Co. ownership. The piece also links Great Falls Maryland deposits and explains how gold forms in vein systems and why production fluctuates with price.
