query: where was the first gold found in america

pos: Gold mining in the United States Gold mining in the United States Gold mining in the United States has taken place continually since the discovery of gold at the Reed farm in North Carolina in 1799. The first documented occurrence of gold was in Virginia in 1782. Some minor gold production took place in North Carolina as early as 1793, but created no excitement. The discovery on the Reed farm in 1799 which was identified as gold in 1802 and subsequently mined marked the first commercial production. The large scale production of gold started with the California Gold Rush in 1848. The closure of gold mines

neg: Placer mining used widely by the Romans across their empire, but especially in the gold fields of northern Spain after its conquest by Augustus in 25 BC. One of the largest sites was at Las Médulas, where seven 30 mile long aqueducts were used to work the alluvial gold deposits through the first century AD. (Inclusions of platinum-group metals in a very large proportion of gold items indicate that the gold was largely derived from placer or alluvial deposits. Platinum group metals are seldom found with gold in hardrock reef or vein deposits.) In North America, placer mining was famous in the

neg: Traditional copper work in Mexico has been done in central Mexico since the pre Hispanic period. However, it is not the first area in the Americas to begin working with the metal. The first evidence of copper work is in what is now the Midwest of the United States as the metal was found here fairly easily on the surface without mining. The next location was in the west coastal areas of South America into some areas of Central America, where it was often mixed with gold. Copper working developed later in Mesoamerica because of the lack of surface copper and little to no contact

neg: Sarahsaurus "sauros" (Greek), for "lizard". The specific name is derived from "aurum" (Latin), "gold", and "fontanalis" (Latin), "of the spring" in reference to Gold Spring, Arizona, where the holotype was found. "Sarahsaurus" is the fourth basal sauropodomorph dinosaur to have been identified in North America. (The other three are "Anchisaurus" and "Ammosaurus" from the Early Jurassic of the Connecticut River Valley, and "Seitaad" of the later Navajo Sandstone of Early Jurassic Utah.) It is thought to have appeared through a dispersal event that originated in South America and was separate from those of the other two sauropodomorphs. The animal is notable

Claudia Poll began swimming in 1979 under coach Francisco Rivas and quickly became one of the best in Central America, winning many regional titles.

On 8 January 1949, the "Daily Mail" reported that a salvage attempt was to be made in the summer of that year. There were no follow-ups, and the story contained errors. In 1985, a potential salvager received a letter from the Department of Transport Shipping Policy Unit saying gold on board had been recovered. In 1995, salvagers found "Empress of Britain" upside-down in of water. Using saturation diving, they found that the fire had

It was discovered in 1898 when Erik Lindblom, Jafet Lindeberg and John Brynteson, the "Three Lucky Swedes", found placer gold deposits on Anvil Creek and on the Snake River few miles from the future site of Nome. Word of the strike caused a major gold rush to Nome in the spring of 1899. This was one of the first and was the biggest Alaskan gold rush in North America, only the California gold rush

neg: Lena Gold Mining Partnership partnership with money, the Bank was interested not so much in earning a profit as in solidifying the gold-mining industry as a foundation of the state financial system. Gintsburg and the other shareholders, on the contrary, were keen to capitalize on profit and to receive the maximum possible dividends; therefore, a decision was made whereby the partnership had to become independent from the bank and search for a more cooperative lender. In 1907—1908, such a lender was easily found in London, where a group of English financiers headed by Lord Harris, a participant in gold mining enterprises in America and

However, North Carolina has been affected by offshoring and industrial growth in countries like China; one in five manufacturing jobs in the state has been lost to overseas competition. As these factories closed and moved to low-wage markets in Asia and Latin America, the small towns that depended upon them have suffered. The first gold nugget found in the U.S. was found in Cabarrus County in 1799. The first gold dollar minted in the U.S. was minted at

However, the discovery of gold "did" halt the exodus of men from the newly established colony into neighbouring New South Wales, where gold had also been discovered earlier in the year. Following his death, an obelisk of granite was erected near the spot where Hiscock found gold. The obelisk proclaimed him to be the first discoverer of gold in Victoria; which although not strictly correct, may be argued to be an acceptable overstatement, considering the stimululation the discovery provided to Victoria during its early development era. The proclamation reads: Hiscock's obelisk can be found about eight kilometres (4.97 miles)

The name "guanín" is taken from the language of the Taíno people, who prized it for its reddish color, brilliant shine, and unique smell, and associated it with both worldly and supernatural power. It was also known as "taguagua", and in South America as "tumbaga." The Spanish referred to it as "low gold", distinguishing it from items made with a higher purity of gold. Samples of "guanín" have been found all over central America, indicating a great deal of trade and
