Historical Moments - Reed Gold Mine

[@bradstoner7226]

Very well done presentation. This is what a documentary should be like! The fellow is calmly standing there telling the history and they are narrating it with historical photos and videos. Thankfully they used low volume calm music in the background when needed. To often documentaries have background music that doesn't fit the topic and is so loud that it drowns out the subject. This video was done just right! I am a collector of minerals and I appreciate this excellent well done documentary. Thank you so much.

Sarah “Sally’ (Kiser) Reed is my 4th great aunt. My mother was a Kiser. I really enjoyed this video so much!

John Lee Kiser was my Great, great, great grandfather. Sarah (Sally) was his sister. So Sally is my 4th great aunt as well. I am from North Carolina originally from Randolph County , but retired now and live on the N.C. coast.

OMG!!!! ... was just researching my family through Ancestry/MyHeritage and found Gold Miner as profession for my ancestors. So I googled up this video. I'm from Indiana and had no idea there were gold mines, in North Carolina. John Reed is my great great great great grandfather, this blew my mind. Going get my kids to watch! BTW ... Robert Motley is my great great great grandfather as well. Thank You for this Video!

On my way with a shovel!

It's a shame a section of this creek and and area of land off this part can't be prospected and sluiced by some of us local sluicers and miners. 1/4 of an acre ajoined the creek would not harm the site. We should have a right to carry on what our forefathers did during the Carolina Rush! The panning gig at Reeds is not enough!
