Dahlonega 10/26/12

This week on Wednesday we went to Dahlonega. It was really cool and fun. We got to pan for some gold. Some people did not get any gold. Before the trip we learned about where the gold is in Georgia. Then we learned what Hernando de Soto did when he came to find gold. The third thing is we learned about the Trail of Tears and the Cherokee Indians. What we learned in the museum was how the stamp mill work and how it was used with gold. The next thing we learned was how they made gold coins. The third thing we learned was that the top of the college and the state capital building have gold on them. The thing we learned in the mine was how big it is. The gold is so small in the mine that you can’t see it around you. We learned about how many stories are in the mine and how long it is.
