Gold Mines In NC - Home

Gold Mines In NC">Thermal City Gold Mine NC

Thermal City Gold Mine is certainly the best known recreational gold mining camp on the East Coast. The western part of NC is rich in many commercial minerals and gem stones, and you can dig for emerald, citrine, rose quartz, rubies, aventurine, moonstone, smoky quartz, tourmaline and much more.

It is very an easy task to arrive there by car. Located on Highway 221 it is halfway between Marion and Rutherford, right on the Rutherford - McDowell county line. Originating from the Rutherfordton/Marion exit on I-40, head to the south in the direction of Rutherfordton for about 8 or 8.5 miles and keep an eye for the road sign on the left side. Follow then the directions to the mine.

Accommodation at Thermal City is affordable and fits everyone's budget. You can camp on the riverside for as low as $15.00 per night or obtain a cabin with double beds, a bath and a kitchen area with a microwave for $50.00.

You may bring your own mining gear and supplies or buy it from Thermal City. They are authorized resellers of Keene Engineering equipment and can give you pumps, hi-bankers/dredges, prospecting and mining supplies, gold pans, an array of prospecting books, sluice boxes and many more.

The Lucky Strike Recreational Gold and Gem Mine Lucky Strike is yet another leisure facility in North Carolina. The camping site is located in Vein Mountain in the Marion County, quite close to Thermal City Gold mine, and is available to public, throughout the year, from 8am to 7pm.
