There's Gold in them thar Hills
Bugs Bunny say's it in the 1952 Looney Tunes cartoon "14 Carrot Rabbit" featuring Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam " There's Gold in them thar Hills "
The phrase 'There's gold in them thar hills' is, in fact, a misquote.
The actual phrase was yelled from the steps of the Lumpkin County Courthouse in 1849 by Dahlonega Mint assayor Dr. M. F. Stephenson to stop the exodus of miners from Dahlonega in Georgia to California,
which had just started its own gold rush ( California Gold Rush )
We head up to the High country to check out a few new Prospects before winter kicks us out and we are back to the foothills and the valley again.
We have checked a few new Hydraulic Pits this year in hopes that the old timers left us some Placer Gold Nuggets to find.
Today we have two Metal detector's to check for Gold the Minelab SDC 2300 and Kellen's GPX 4500 which one finds smaller Gold and which one goes deeper ?
