Georgia,1829.
Visited the Consolidated Gold Mine in north Georgia this week.
Toured deep into the mine shaft and then panned for gold.
No gold in my pan!
Fun visit...

Re: America's first gold rush
Of course there was a US Mint in Dahlonega, Georga. Produced gold coins, among others. The mint mark was "D". The Civil War ended the mint's production.
