Gold Buyers 317-244-0700<\/p><\/div>Gold has been around since the beginning of mankind, but as soon as its existence was discovered, it became one of mankind\u2019s most prized possessions. Since the initial discovery of gold in America, the hunt for it has never stopped. In fact, as gold fields are mined more and more every day, the lust to find more gold only grows stronger. Currently, the United States is home to three gold mines that are among the largest in the entire world. Continue reading to find out where!<\/p>\n
South Dakota<\/h1>\n
A place called Lead, South Dakota was once one of the largest (and deepest) gold fields in America. Homestake Mining Company was founded in 1877 after George Hearst purchased a primary 10-acre claim for only $10,000. Eventually, they were able to secure up to 8,000 acres! More than 40 million ounces of gold were extracted up until 2002, when Homestake Mine ceased its operation. It was later the site of several particle physics studies. Now, it is the location of the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL). This lab utilized all 8,000 feet of depth. <\/p>\n
California<\/h1>\n
Also known as \u201cGold Country\u201d, this western area of the Sierra Madre Mountains is one of the richest gold deposits in the world. Nowadays, it extends all along Highway 49. What started out as the Kennedy Gold Mine at Sutter\u2019s Mill in 1870, soon turned out to be the catalyst for the infamous \u201cCalifornia Gold Rush\u201d of 1848 to 1855. Attracting more than 300,000 gold hunters, San Francisco\u2019s population quickly grew from a meager 1,000 to a shocking 25,000 by 1850! <\/p>\n
Nevada<\/h1>\n
Neighboring California, it isn\u2019t surprising to learn that Nevada is also home to one of the country\u2019s largest gold mines. Carlin Trend, Nevada was first discovered as a gold field in 1961 by geologist John Livermore. He was looking for a rumored \u201cinvisible gold\u201d that was mentioned in publication written by another geologist by the name of Ralph Roberts. Invisible gold is deposited in soil by hot springs, and is so fine it can hardly be detected by older, traditional methods of panning. Places like Indonesia and China have similar \u201cCarlin Trend-style\u201d deposits. In 1965, Newmont Mining began their gold extracting production, and Carlin Trend has been a well-known source of gold ever since.<\/p>\n
