Interesting read - I hadn’t known about gold mining in NC prior.

I live here in the gold-mining area of North Carolina. It is easy to find potentially gold-bearing quartz veins, but the chance of finding a big nugget is pretty small now. In parts of east Mecklenburg and Union counties, the groundwater is contaminated with arsenic from the processing of gold-bearing ore.
