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!

This is an absolutely great document if you live anywhere in the Virginia or anywhere in that part of the country, because this is a 1975 report by the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Division of Minerals on the location of old gold mines.

This is LITERALLY a treasure map that gives turn by turn directions to numerous old gold mines.  Man, it can’t get any easier than this!

Anyhow, if you go out looking for any of those lost gold mines be sure not to trespass or break any other laws.   However, there is an excellent chance that many of the landowners in that part of the country don’t have a clue that there are old gold mines anywhere near their property, so you might be able to work something out.

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.
