The Gold Mine On Grandfather Mountain
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 бер 2023
- I took a trip into the past deep into the woods of Grandfather Mountain in Watauga County North Carolina. There is a old gold mine in the State Park that is about impossible to find. No trail or map. I just crossed the creeks and absorbed nature. This adventure created a wonderful bushwhacking experience in the late winter season. I could see miles deep into the woods. Which allowed me to spot old working from the historical gold mine on Grandfather Mountain. It consist of an open cut above a portal. The portal has a cold breath and was flooded. Being solo I didn't attempt to enter. I was just happy to walk back in the foot steps of time. It was a cool site to see and a adventure to find.

I enjoyed this wonderful walking tour. Such beautiful scenery all around. Have a great day my friend.
It is a very special place. I loved seeing so deep into the woods.
very cool bud. you are so blessed to live in that area. i spent about 10 years in california and about a year in salt lake utah, been to most of the states at least a little but i always end up missing home(pennsylvania). ended up coming home and meeting a girl, have two little ones now and would never consider leaving home. But we have thought about moving south a few times, and this area in particular and tenn seem to be places i would like to move.
There are always cool places to explore as long as you get out and do it. This area and Eastern Tennessee are very popular destinations for people to move too nowadays. It is also a nice place to take a trip to. Family first!
What a magical place.
It sure was.
Hello friend! I really enjoyed the scenery you captured in North Carolina, but also enjoyed the words you put down on this video! I wish I could write like this. Thanks for your narration also. 👍👍💯🇺🇸
we've been watching your channel and our question is can the Sapphires and Rubbies -North Carolina be hear treated like Montana Sapphires?
I think they have too much silk with inclusions and natural fractures to make any difference. I could be wrong but I think mostly you would only treat facet grade material. Facet grade is extremely rare in North Carolina most of it is lapidary grade. I would be down to see with that being said. I haven't heard of anyone doing it.
most of the quartz i have from here in pennsylvania has iron staining from pyrite. you can find some really cool pyrite cubes too all matrixed together. it gets strip mined in coal mines. the tailings can have alot of quartz and pyrite. you can also go down into the mine and walk the walls to find veins. but its getting harder to do because mines are being reclaimed.
Yeah I would love to collect at this spot but it is just another one for the history books. Pennsylvania is very similar in geology. Most of our mines are all reclaimed around here.
Yea I believe we have some similar areas in which the land is nor north American or south American/African via before pangaea split/re collided and split again. Most of eastern part of state is different continental shelve than western. Some in middle where I am have mystery areas. One being Gettysburg battlefield. Some rocks there said to split and other half on another continent. I'm not sure what the truth is. I dont typically buy into mainstream narratives on anything anymore. Including timelines or history. Hope all is well bud!

Nice! I’d love to see that chimney, is it on the profile trail? I’m going to try again this summer to find some gold down here In Alexander county.
No this is just some random chimney out in the middle of the woods.. The Profile Trail is next on my agenda.
I wish I could explain how to get to it but there are no trails. Foscoe N.C. has a lot of old chimneys. They were the only thing left after the floods .
@@HighCountryRocksI may have asked you before but is there a way I can find out which creeks in Alexander county that I could potentially find some gold?
May I ask where you parked at in foscoe to access this? Really cool place to see and I've lived here all my life. Thanks.

Did you make a map of how to get there?
I don't think I could. That's why I went in late winter to be able to see through the woods. I knew it was in a certain ridge on Grandfather Mt. and just followed old logging and mining roads and the deer trails till I saw the tailings from the mine.
hell yeah
