Although gold was rumored to be found in Georgia in the 1500s and in Virginia in the late 1700s, the first documented discovery of gold was in 1799 in Little Meadow Creek, North Carolina. It was a 17 pound nugget and it was found by 12-year-old Conrad Reed. Later, the Reeds went on to found Reed Gold Mine, which is recognized as a National Historic Landmark.
