The discovery of gold in Dahlonega led to the removal of the native Cherokee . The start of the trail of tears is relatively near . Many of the rivers in this area are still polluted with mercury . Don’t eat the fish !!!
Dave is a great a guy, or at least it seems that way from t.v. I don’t know the guy, but he does seem like a good caring guy from all the shows he’s been on. Good luck to you sir! I hope you get rich out there!
There’s gold here in heard co.
If there was a bunch the gov would have taken it.
These shows are bullshit now.
Awesome my kids live in Dawsonville.. They gonna love this!
I thought Dave was done filming
?
I’ve been systematically mining here in Carrollton Georgia for years now. I have found a few tons, I’m trying to get it processed but it’s taking forever. Hopefully soon I can get a good system.
I am from India
There are mines everywhere in Lumpkin county, great to see this video and another mine shaft under a business on the square.
I had a friend who was a member of GMA (Gold Miners Association) and he wanted to make money gold mining and one place he knew about was there in Georgia, he brought home a couple of buckets that he tried to find gold but unfortunately he had gotten ill and he did find a little but when I was cleaning the house after he passed away I couldn’t find them. I believe his son had taken them. That was the one thing that got me into Gold mining, I have watched gold mining shows ever since he introduced it to me. I also like watching shows about finding gems and opal. I do miss seeing you on Gold Rush and on Lost Mines.
cool
It’s only a dirt, not a gold..😅
i would highly recommend the ice cream shop have a radon test done in ther building. there could be high levels making its way in from that shaft
Tony Dodges show is awesome, but this is great too.
Just think of all the money Todd Hoffman could have saved with the lawn mower trommel.
Bullshit gold my ass
I live in Indiana. For fun, I read up on gold panning and learning how to read a creek and make educated guess as where to pan. I did not become an expert, but I got to where I could find gold. It is hard work. Holding a gold pan is hard on your hands and panning all day was hard on my back and knees. I decided it wan not that much fun. I have a glass vile of gold in water that I panned. I never got rich. I never had any equipment other than a pan, a few sifting screens and a bucket. Good luck to all who go looking!
Wonder if there are any gigantic pieces of Gold left out there?
God is the foundation of America. Not gold.
all that water coming out the end 🙁
My name is Sam Oates bideford and demi the dog
There is Gold over all the Earth,finding it and being able to retrieve it at a profit is the problem!!! Profit will not be if you spend $3 to get $2,a different kind of Fool’s Gold!!! Real but not profitable!❤😊
My trommel I built with my dad in 9th grade is bigger and better built than that 😂 it’s all love though guys
Get a second job.
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family….

Thats a water well. Get your information right.
I live close and done mining here and it is nothing new to find gold here in N. GA. mountains. I have found a little bit here and there. I even still have it in a bottle.
Where can you find gold in Florida except the metal
I live here in lumpkin County 🤙
