Gold in dem dere hills. yesterday, Dahlanega, Georgia

America's first gold rush wasn't in California. It was in in Dahlanega, GA and it was some of the purest gold the world's ever seen. It would have been great to have been there early on. Nuggets were literally lying around on the ground begging to be picked up and polished. And in the early days Mint was built in the town to press coins. More recently a University building costed it's room with Dahlanega gold.

Now it's a charming mountain town and home of U of North
 Georgia.
