True North is, not surprisingly, a region of Alaska that has produced an enormous amount of gold since 1912. 

It took me a time to figure out just where it was, because this docuemnt, which seems to have been prepared for the Alaska Department of Transportation is apparently missing a few pages.  Most of it is not really related to small gold prospectors, but read it until you get to the part about just how thick the original vein of gold was.

That’s probably worth the trouble of downloading it for most of you guys: alaska-mining-true-north-area

Here a great document for the Georgia gold prospector.  It is a history of the Federal Road in the state which was the main route the gold prospectors took in and out of the area during the Georgia gold rush of the 1830s. 

There’s some good information for a gold prospector buried in this document, but you are going to have to dig a little more, but hey you’re a gold prospector!   

However, it’s a well written and it might even give prospectors using gold detectors clues about when they might want to adjust their gear to dig for Civil War relics too.

Anyhow, I can’t post a treasure map every single week!

Here’s great document for California gold prospectors: A Historic Survey of Shasta County, California Gold Mines.  Really, for this is unbeatable information for California gold prospectors.

This is another TREASURE MAP for gold prospectors and yes I do appreciate all of the nice comments I get for posting these docuements.

This document is from 1995 and 158 pages long.  It’s a general study of the area, but over twenty pages are devoted to  the locations of old gold mines.  This is literally a treasure map!

Of course, be careful about trespassing if you go out looking for these mines, but there is a lot of Federal Land in the area that is easy for gold prospectors to access.
