While in Georgia, we headed north from Atlanta to Dahlonega and the Consolidated Gold Mine.
The first thing is to pan for gold. The girls rolled up their sleeves and got to work. Now they are much richer for the effort.
Then it's into the old gold mine. Claire was the safety engineer since she's the only one who grabbed a hard hat.
Here are some of the blasting holes.
And the machine that helped make them.
All in all, a very interesting day, both above ground and below.
