Abandoned Gold Mine in Georgia

This was once part of an old gold mine in Georgia. The mountain had several mines and mills, operations began in the 1800's and the area was used for mining up until the mid-1900's. As I explored around I saw remains from one of the old mines. It was like taking a journey back in time...

[@Labukh84]

I live 15 minutes from the DAh. Where can I find d this spot?

[@tradingnewb]

public land?

[@rustjunky764]

Nobody mentions all the old mines in central ga near Augusta.....I have access to a property with an open shaft and a humongous trench that follows the hillside for about a mile or so if interested

[@abundancerelaxation199]

I’m interested

There are a lot of abandoned gold mines in the Dahlonega, Ga area. This is just 1 of many in the hills of Dahlonega.

[@radiuscross8584]

You know the location of this place? I’ve been seeing it on the internet for years but haven’t been able to track down the location of it

[@scottmcclure8933]

If I may ask, what part of Georgia were you in? It appears to be the Dahlonega area with the northern Georgia foothills around you. I live in a small town, just off I-20, on the Alabama/Georgia border. We have an old gold mine here that has just recently reopened. I also have the privilege of having family with the richest panning creek in our area. I enjoy just getting out with a sluice box, shovel, bucket, classifier and a pan and listen to the sounds of nature while I dig up free money.

I think that junk is the gold. Golds just a mineral those are crafted peices of art. I think theyre all museam peices. They do deserve to be out of the elements..i love the energy of these ruins. They had a hayday in theyre time. Creepy and cool now.

Is this the mine that supposedly collapsed one day on lunch break? 😂

[@cwf081166]

The first time my Grand Father saw an automobile was when the suits from Creighton came to their home to tell them they lost his uncle and cousin in the collapse. They were following what was believe a highly profitable seem of gold and tunneled to close to the Etowah River. The river washed killing several miners.

[@21stcenturyexpeditionist77]

awesome footage

Nice ! Interesting.....I thought at about 2:30 into this I'd see one of those things from the movie, The Descent.

[@davidtrueslayor7474]

I don't know if your joking but at the very end of 2:30 right side theres something more human looking but the lighting in there is bad could be anything.

I lived by one in Young Harris. I moved to Blairsville and now I'm close to the Dahlonega mine.

A crown jewel in your video collection. That machinery is fascinating, and the tunnels are exciting.

Campfire Steve thanks for checking it out

[@sherriesprayberry7533]

What county is that?

[@thomaserixton4662]

A lot of pieces there that could be restored with enough time , the old stamp Mill is almost all there

[@FLtrailblazer]

I think there was multiple stamp mills here on the mountain, I tried to track down another one but couldn't get to it.

[@thomaserixton4662]

They probably had different size stamp mills to break it down from large rocks down to tiny fines

[@loganstancill2607]

I wish ya could give me the name of the mine at least instead of being a secret squirrel 🐿 kinda thing because a lot of people want to see history like your self and want to preserve the history it’s almost forever forgotten just like the all mines in ellijay ga that have been bought up by ritch folks to make subdivisions and I don’t care nothing about preserving the history so can you pls give the name of the mine? Is it in Dahlonega Georgia?

[@thomaserixton4662]

@@loganstancill2607 I have no idea where it's at or the mine name

[@davidtrueslayor7474]

FT awesome explore, your something you wont go into a abandoned cabin but you will walk deep into a mine cave, lol danger is your calling card , but I know that its scary sometimes you cant be 100% that its an abandoned place I get that. But I would like to see less edit points like walking into the cave get the entire experience , is it the film costs ?

[@radiuscross8584]

Hey Florida, I would like to explore this, this is very interesting! I was hoping I could get the location from ya if it’s alright.

I wonder if the students in Georgia are told of this part of their history. Very interesting Joe.

[@grayj98k13]

Kevin Boldenow as a former student in GA (graduated high school on 2016) I can tell you we are taught there there was a gold rush in Dahlonaga and that’s about it. For more detail we have to search videos like these on our own.

[@michaeltanner5058]

Location?

How to you find these extravagant places?.!

[@FLtrailblazer]

research history in the places I go, you can find a lot on the internet

[@banjohusky]

Is this near the old copper mines? Also, is the old copper mine on copper mine rd still accessible?

[@kevinrail3953]

banjohusky they have it "gated" and it says no trespassing but people park along side the road make sure there's no one around and run across the road under the bridge and you can get back to the old cave

[@nathanporter256]

Thanks so much! Only think I ever worry about is getting a ticket for parking on the side of the road.

[@ctdorsa]

kevin rail Do you ever go this place..??? I moved to North East Georgia a couple of months ago... Would love to check out all these areas.... Tx

[@hallhouse5098]

It’s accessible from a trail in Yahoola park. I live 1 mile away and it’s not restricted. There are public walking trails right to it. There’s black bear and lots of deer up there. One thing I like to do is wonder off the trails and go exploring. I’ve found some cool stuff doing so. Early settlers would find gold nuggets and rocks just glimmering in the woods and creeks. I’ve got two natural springs on my property and have panned and found gold remnants myself. My back yard has a hydro mining gulch in it from mining operations. Dahlonega is a beautiful place.

[@davidwilliamson6508]

would you mind sharing the location with me? I live in hall county ga and am big into mountain exploration and always respect the environment.

[@rodneygreenway982]

Were you just around and stumbled upon it or did you have a method to find it? I've been trying to find some abandoned mines but haven't had any luck

[@chriscourson2824]

we used to travel to Dahlonega to the gold mines when I was growing up

[@thomaserixton4662]

Anybody know what part of Georgia this is in

[@FLtrailblazer]

I prefer to not post the location directly here are you interested in exploring it? This is one of the most interesting sites I explored and to be able to see the history that still remains, the entire area has a lot of gold mine history. To often I see sites get vandalized, people taking things and such so that is part of my reasoning for being a little discrete about it.

[@thomaserixton4662]

Florida Trailblazer I love to visit historic sites like these, as a family collect antique equipment and restore it so we have appreciation for sites like these. If you'd rather you can PM me on social media so the location isn't directly public

[@annajones7899]

Thomas Erixton love to know where this is. We live in north Georgia and I have gotten my grandsons interested in exploring. Could you give us a hint?

@@FLtrailblazer Excellent choice. That's exactly what'll happen.

[@barefootvagabond5826]

Not many people know about this place. It's still a good secret. The second hole you pointed out you should of went into and took a right after wading through the knee deep water. It's not a single person thing, as the climb through the mountain is insane. Also: Flashlights

[@FLtrailblazer]

Thanks I hope I did my best to be discrete when making this video, it is a truly amazing place and respect the history and people wanting to keep it private. I wanted to showcase some of the history that was the main goal. I really enjoyed the tunnel areas as you said best to go in prepared and I wasn't on this trip, I didn't get see this kind of history in Florida so it was a true please to experience it.
