Your are right about the wright brothers from ohio but the first flight was in the Carolina's if you look it up

[@weasespieces1029]

I know a place in NC that has quarts gold... ive actually panned a few flakes as a kid...

[@kristamurphy5444]

I've been prospecting for some time now I need to go to north Carolina

[@johnross775]

Because only Dave Turin can find the gold...right.

[@terrynewman4609]

My brother sluced gold there when gold rush first came out. Tellico river the banks are loaded

[@animalmother5287]

Sure they are

[@alexmachell5869]

The Appalachian mountains are loaded with quartz and with white quartz you find gold I did some gold mining with my dad when I was you back in early 80s and we were helping this old guy had to be in his 70s and he taught us stuff you can't learn in a book it was pretty cool wish we would have stayed cause old man sold his property and retired and new owners found an seam that was apparently loaded and made them very rich

[@jorgemaldonado840]

I would love to do this kinda stuff.

[@jorgemaldonado840]

Man that's nice. That's all I need some good hunts like that.

[@tflowe3288]

I own around 100 acres in York SC, on the state border with Charlotte NC. I've got a natural spring in the property, have found lots of quartz and never found gold. I'd definitely like to see how to look for some of these rare "gems" around the property.

[@ShadowRyu]

Yellow quartz is quartz with gold attached to it. Enough to tint the quartz yellow, but rarely enough to make immediate money from. Often it needs to mined in mass quantities, crushed, processed, and leeched. Stuff like this is near impossible

[@kevgraham2986]

The first gold dollar was mined in your area.

[@twiztidscarecrowclownkilli9748]

I love York..
I worked in fort mill for 12 months

[@AEVMU]

That soapstone bowl may have been traded from Catalina Island all the way off California where much of the soapstone bowls are from.

[@polymathperspective]

The guy who found gold in 1799 was walking along a stream and saw a yellow rock and took it home weighing 22lbs. He used it as a door stop for years until someone told him it’s gold.

[@Pro-zh9up]

Better being lucky than smart.

[@chrishodge5759]

7lbs

[@1topskyrocket]

That's the same story they use here in Gold Hill Oregon. Sheep farmer or some kind of hurting guy whatever was out looking for some of his lost critters and came across some interesting looking rocks and brought one home and used it for a door stop for years until somebody visiting noticed what it was. The hurting guy took this gentleman to the spot and within 24 hours there were hundreds of people up in the mountains pulling goal off the ground.

[@randythomas3478]

Your story is flawed

[@djack915]

First gold rush was in North Carolina 😮

[@garyhindsleyii1846]

I have a bunch of that. From northern cali... !

[@jorgemaldonado840]

Wow is that six star ruby look like those sapphires
Worth alot .

[@dannyr.edwards4721]

Awsome!!!

[@paaliengold]

A lot like what I have discovered in Pennsylvania

[@paaliengold]

That’s awesome

[@goldcambodia]

Great sir!

[@thomastousant7178]

Where does one sell this?

[@daviddobravec1785]

Hvala.

[@jamescunningham1973]

are you gonna start to dig up the beautiful countryside Dave?

[@Ethan-ut7cp]

Oh stop it are you aware of how much earth there is?

[@nhragold1922]

Small scale mining has 0 impact on the earth. I'd be more worried about all the garbage scattered around the world from civilization rather than Small scale miners making a living.

[@cleverusername9369]

0:18 the Wright Brothers were from Ohio.

[@clarencethierry2402]

The first US gold rush, really?

[@MathiasVIKING0403]

Virginia had the first gold claim in the United States.

[@stefan.m0000]

i have a goldfish at home🤭

[@dennisjamieson3328]

This is the same guy who sold his gold mine to his crew in about 2022 for 1 million dollars. I’m pretty sure I’m right

[@dennisjamieson3328]

Dave Turin exactly is his name

[@steventeter3332]

​@@dennisjamieson3328The shroud of Turin.

[@Anatoliys_Adventure]

That's either a really good man who knows the value of having enough to not worry alongside the time to use it. Or a really scummy man who tapped the spot dry and wanted one last paycheck 🤣🤣 (Hope it's the former)

[@verrettlasatt7909]

Either way we're sure you're exactly correct with your accurate assumption

[@stanleymudge3029]
