<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Agilmore01, post: 2131977, member: 45687&quot;]Today, with my son&#039;s Boy Scout pack, we took a short drive to Reed&#039;s Gold Mine in Cabarrus County in North Carolina. It was the first place gold was found in America.&nbsp; Story is, a boy was bow fishing and caught a fish, and when he went to retrieve it, he found a huge chunk of gold in the stream, which he sold for $3.50 to a jeweler, which he later realized he got ripped off. He decided to hunt for more, which started the gold rush in NC and the USA. The gold found here helped supply the gold gold for some of the gold coins we see today from the early 1800&#039;s.&nbsp; Below are some of the pics, along with some gold coins they have on display. Some are real and some are reproductions.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Notice any significance of all the cities listed on the sign right by the river where the gold was first found...?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]406131[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the coins on display.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]406132[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]406133[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]406134[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]406136[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]406137[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
