This page provides information about gold in North Carolina, and was designed to answer many of the frequently asked questions about gold occurrences in North Carolina. The North Carolina Geological Survey offers several publications on gold in North Carolina through our Internet Sales Site North Carolina Geological Survey Shop.
Many of the North Carolina publications written about gold in the late 1800s and early 1900s contain valuable information, but are now out-of-print. Bulletin 3, Gold Deposits of North Carolina; Bulletin 10, Gold Mining in North Carolina and Adjacent South Appalachian Regions; and Bulletin 38, Gold Deposits in North Carolina, are especially useful. These publications are on file in the Raleigh office of the North Carolina Geological Survey, and are also available in many university libraries. Public libraries can obtain the publications through inter-library loan. an updated publication, our Information Circular 29, Gold in North Carolina, provides a wealth of information on the occurrences of gold in our state. This publication may be ordered through our Internet Sales Site - Geological Survey Shop, or by calling or visiting our Main Office
U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 213, Gold Deposits of the Southern Piedmont, is a good source of information, but is also out-of-print. The U.S. Geological Survey distributes several pamphlets on gold prospecting. Information on USGS publications is available at1-888-ASK-USGS (275-8747). Many book stores and rock and mineral dealers sell books on gold panning and prospecting.
Topographic maps provide useful information in locating good panning sites by showing stream meanders and the locations of rapids.
