@bearings.travel: Reed Gold Mine, Midland, North Carolina. In 1799 a 12-year-old pulled a 17-pound yellow rock out of a creek here and his family used it as a doorstop for three years. A jeweler bought it for $3.50. It was gold -- the first documented gold find in the United States, fifty years before California. #northcarolina #charlotte #hiddenhistory #goldrush #nchistory #cabarruscounty #roadtrip #bearingstravel

That’s so cruel to give him $3.50 knowing that jeweler knew it was worth way more than it. And they didn’t know what gold looked like was the weird thing about!

what's crazy is NC isn't known for having gold like Montana or Colorado
