Modern-Day Prospectors on Quest for Gold
By June Soh  Washington, D.C. 24 November 2006

Gold has a glittering appeal that fascinates people generation after generation.  While the famous gold rush in the middle of the 1800s, in the western U.S. state of California, was over long ago, modern-day prospectors on a quest for gold are drawn to the waters in the eastern state of Virginia. . . . .

"Contrary to the popular belief that the first gold rush in the United States was to the state of California in 1849, the first true gold rush was in the 1790s here in the eastern part of the United States." . . . .

There's also quite a bit of gold prospecting going on in Georgia. As a  matter of fact- most of the full time prospectors came from Georgia when gold was discovered in California.
