It got its name of 'Fool's Gold' because during the Gold Rush in the 1800's in the US, many fanatic Gold Diggers found Fool's Gold in the mines. Covered in dirt and dust, the naturally shining Pyrite took on a luster very similar to gold, hence when the anxious diggers rushed their findings to the local jeweler, to their dismay, they discovered it was only Iron Pyrite, which was considered worthless in the face of real gold.

25. Prospecting For Gold In The United States Some degree of success in finding gold still remains for those choosing favorableareas after a careful study of mining records and the geology of the mining http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/prospect2/prospectgip.html

Prospecting for Gold in the United States by Harold Kirkemo Anyone who pans for gold hopes to be rewarded by the glitter of colors in the fine material collected in the bottom of the pan. Although the exercise and outdoor activity experienced in prospecting are rewarding, there are few thrills comparable to finding gold. Even an assay report showing an appreciable content of gold in a sample obtained from a lode deposit is exciting. The would-be prospector hoping for financial gain, however, should carefully consider all the pertinent facts before deciding on a prospecting venture. Many believe that it is possible to make wages or better by panning gold in the streams of the West, particularly in regions where placer mining formerly flourished. However, most placer deposits have been thoroughly reworked at least twicefirst by Chinese laborers, who arrived soon after the initial boom periods and recovered gold from the lower grade deposits and tailings left by the first miners, and later by itinerant miners during the 1930's. Geologists and engineers who systematically investigate remote parts of the country find small placer diggings and old prospect pits whose number and wide distribution imply few, if any, recognizable surface indications of metal-bearing deposits were overlooked by the earlier miners and prospectors. One who contemplates prospecting for gold should realize that a successful venture does not necessarily mean large profits even if the discovery is developed into a producing mine. Although the price of gold has increased significantly since 1967 when the fixed price of $35 an ounce was terminated, the increases in the cost of virtually every supply and service item needed in prospecting and mining ventures have kept profit margins at moderate levels, particularly for the small mine operator. In general, wide fluctuations in the price of gold are not uncommon, whereas inflationary pressures are more persistent. The producer of gold, therefore, faces uncertain economic problems and should be aware of their effects on his operation.

28. Maryland Geological Survey: Gold In Maryland version of gold in Maryland was prepared by Robert D. Conkwright and Rebecca A.Gast, Division of Coastal and Estuarine geology, Maryland Geological Survey. http://www.mgs.md.gov/esic/brochures/gold.html

Pamphlet Series Gold in Maryland contact: Dale Shelton ( dshelton@mgs.md.gov by Karen R. Kuff The Maryland Journal reported in May, 1901 that "Many persons will be surprised to know that within easy walking distance of the National Capital there are no less than a half-dozen gold mines in actual operation. Prospecting is now a rather extensive industry along the banks of the Potomac, from a point near Georgetown up the river, past Great Falls, a distance of perhaps ten miles." Although no mining is currently underway in Maryland, individuals still seek their fortunes in gold. Gold is found in rocks of the Piedmont Plateau, a belt of metamorphic rocks extending from New York to South Carolina. The metal occurs as grains, wires or sheets in quartz veins and along mineralized fault zones in the surrounding metamorphic rocks. The distribution of gold in the quartz veins is sporadic and the concentration ranges from 0.1 to 5 ppm (Reed and Reed, 1969). Sulfides sometimes found with the gold are pyrite, sphalerite, and galena. In the copper districts of Maryland, gold has often been noted as a minor accessory mineral. The accompanying maps show old gold mines, prospects and reported gold occurrences in Maryland. The passage of time has changed the face of many of the old mines and prospects to the point where many are now overgrown or have been built on. Therefore, some locations are approximate. Names of mines or properties may also have changed. Included on both this map and the inset map are sites where gold has only been reported, not necessarily produced.

Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park Alaska "The country is wild, rough and full of hardships for those unused to the rigors of Arctic winters. If a man makes a fortune he is liable to earn it by severe hardship and sufferings. But, then, grit, perseverance and luck will probably reward a hard worker with a comfortable income for life." Clarence Berry , one of the miners returning on the Portland, quoted in The Seattle Post-lntelligencer, July 17,1897. With cries of "Gold! Gold in the Klondike!" there unfolded in the Yukon and Alaska an incredible historic adventure, whose theme of human endeavor in the face of adversity captured the imagination of people around the world. In August 1896 when George Washington Carmack and his two Indian companions, Skookum Jim and Tagish Charlie , found gold in a tributary of the Klondike River in Canada's Yukon Territory, they had no idea that they would set off one of the greatest gold rushes in history. True, most of the good claims were already staked by the time the rush really got underway in the summer of 1897; but this didn't stop an army of hopeful goldseekers from boarding ships at Seattle and other Pacific port cities and heading north to try their luck. Throughout the summer and autumn of 1897 and on into the winter, stampeders poured into the newly created Alaskan tent and shack towns of

Amber:Arboreal Gold from "Amber: Window to the Past", Abrams/AMNH (NY), courtesy of Dr. David Grimaldi. Welcome to “ Amber: Arboreal Gold ”. As you can see, I really ‘dig’ amber. November of 1998, I was able to travel to Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, where I retrieved a fine collection of Baltic amber and brought it home. My partner Paul Howell and I have established a website, the Amber Gallery . On this new site, you may view or purchase Baltic amber specimens. My own web page features Dr. George Poinar of Oregon State University, and his wife and research partner Roberta. He has given me permission to publish photographs and excerpts of his book “ The Quest for Life in Amber ”, a follow-up to his book “ Life in Amber ”. Dr. Poinar released his new book, The Amber Forest in July of 1999. This book covers the origins of Dominican amber. Most recently in 2002, he has published his work with Lebanese amber. These books are available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble's site, and probably in your local university library in the geology and entomology departments. Dr. David Grimaldi of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City also granted me permission to showcase his book “ Amber: A Window to the Past .” Grimaldi has a new publication due out in October of 2000. Both are exceptional scientists and sometimes disagree on research technique and method. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for them both. So what is good science without a little controversy? I enjoy reading and following their work and hope you will, too.

Search Geology Gold Nugget (c) 2000 Andrew Alden, licensed to About.com, Inc. This close-up shows a gold nugget about eight times enlarged. It came from an Alaskan streambed, where its edges were smoothed by hundreds of years of pounding among the cobbles. Native gold is usually alloyed with some copper as well as other noble metals like silver, platinum, and palladium. It rarely accumulates into pieces this big. When it's visible at all, gold occurs mostly as sand-size grains. The gold ore being mined today shows no sign of its valuable fraction, yielding a few grams in every ton of rock. Nuggets account for very little of the world's gold production. Large mines in Nevada, South Africa, Australia, Canada, and the former Soviet Union supply the world with gold for hundreds of industrial uses, bullion, dentistry, coinage, and jewelry. Gold is prized for its electrical conductivity, resistance to corrosion, and extreme malleability. Your computer has gold contacts in it.

State Agencies Web Policies My Maine.gov Email this page MAINE DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION Maine Geological Survey Gold Fact Sheet GOLD IN MAINE Gold occurs in several geologic environments in Maine: in bedrock, in sediments that were eroded from bedrock by glaciers, and in stream deposits derived from either of these sources. Veins of gold in bedrock are called "lode" deposits, and "placer" deposits are concentrations of gold that accumulated in unconsolidated sediments. Most of the gold presently found in Maine comes from placer deposits in stream beds. GENERAL REGULATIONS With the exception of areas administered by the Maine Land Use Regulation Commission (see below), gold panning activities in Maine do not require a permit as long as the following restrictions are adhered to: 1. The activity is confined to sandy/gravelly/cobbly unvegetated stream beds, with no disturbance of stream banks. 2. The activity is limited to the use of gold pans, sluices of less than 10 square feet, or suction dredges with a hose diameter of 4 inches or less. 3. Permission from the landowner must be obtained. Why? First, it's a matter of common courtesy to the landowner. But also, trespassing on posted land in Maine can be a matter of civil law. The water in a stream is under the jurisdiction of the State; but the stream bottom and streambank as well as the access across land to the stream is most likely private property (exceptions include public lots, state parks, etc.). If you cause any damage to that property, even if it is not posted, you may be subject to civil action brought by the landowner. You can avoid these problems by talking to the landowner ahead of time.
