Coal and Gold In North Carolina – Exploring North Carolina

ENC will examine two forgotten chapters in our economic and geological past, which are both exciting and painful. NC was a gold mining state, and in the first quarter of the 1800s produced some of the largest gold nuggets ever found in the continental U.S. Coal mining was a very dangerous occupation and in the mid-1920s over 50 miners lost their lives in a single mining accident.

    If that’s the case, it Wouldn’t be a bad idea to always recheck all the old mining and stream bed areas.

    I wonder what his pastor had to say about the kid skipping Church and becoming so richly rewarded? Temptation of The devil May be? That kid owned the whole town.

    The earth is always moving. Small earthquakes are measured all over the US. Maybe the gold wasn’t there when the Spanish came through. Maybe it took a few hundred years of the earth moving for the gold to appear.
