I've never, before, heard that. More proof that a public school educator must be forced to teach the truth.

In this part of the world the only participants in "panning for gold" were in exteme southern MO and northern AR.

"The Gold Dome", aka the Georgia capitol building, has gold leaf on it from Dahlonega GA. Or at least it did when it was built, no telling where renovation leaf came from. Dahlonega and Gainesville, GA, had origins during the GA gold rush.

A rite of passage in the schools of Forsyth County is a field trip to Dahlonega (North of Atlanta for those who are not familar with the area). The kids come home with a vial of gold dust. In their little minds, they have struck the mother lode.

If I am not mistaken, the dome of the Capitol building is Dahlonega gold.
