This will be a joint outing between the Statesville, Catawba, and Kannapolis North Carolina GPAA Chapters and the Augusta, Georgia GPAA Chapter. It will be a great opportunity to prospect over the Labor Day holiday weekend and meet fellow GPAA/LDMA prospectors.

This gold nugget was part of more than 30 items on display at the American Aspirations exhibit at the Smithsonian Castle in Washington, DC. Why is this nugget so important? It is the first piece of gold discovered by James Marshall in 1848 at Sutter’s Mill in California and which would eventually launching the California gold rush! In order to determine that it was gold, Marshall hammered the nugget into its present shape to test its malleability.
