<p>[QUOTE="charlottedude, post: 3585989, member: 26010"]Thanks JM -- Informative post on Dahlonega and great-looking coins, but just for clarification, the nation's first gold rush was not in Northern Georgia... it was in the Appalachian foothills of Cabarrus county, east of present-day Charlotte NC. with the first discovery in 1799. Once word of the sizable amounts of gold John Reed and other local farmers were pulling from area streams/rivers got around, the rush was on by the early 1800's (before 1810) with estimates of @ 2500 ounces of gold being deposited to the Philly mint from the area by 1824.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
