Former President of the WNC Otto Chapter of the GPAA

There is no gold to be found at Sheffield Mine - 
Rubies and Sapphires are what you'll find here!

 There's more than Rubies in North Carolina!  After you look for Rubies, you might want to prospect for GOLD!  (Gold is not found at Sheffield Mine, you'll have to go elsewhere for that experience)

Did you know that until the California Gold Rush in the 1800's that North Carolina was the largest Gold Producing State in the Nation? - True!
