The main Roman goldmines were around Dolaucothi near Llanwrda - but the seams were pretty much worked out by the middle ages. Welsh Gold is still mined in tiny amounts, but mainly for its rarity value - it hasn't been a commercial resource for centuries.

Are Wales hunted for gold?

Wales is not specifically hunted for gold in the same way that some regions are known for gold mining. However, there are historical gold mines in Wales, particularly in areas like the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia, where gold has been extracted for centuries. Today, some of these mines are preserved as historical sites, and there are small-scale operations, but large-scale hunting for gold is not a prominent activity in Wales. Instead, the focus is more on heritage and tourism related to its mining history.
