The design of the old mines in Cornwall. The expertise that these miners taught to the Carolina men spread throughout the region as men sought gold across the Carolina terrane. According to writer Joshua D Glawson, by the height of the Carolina Gold Rush, as many as 600 gold mines were operating in North Carolina.[8] The establishment of a skilled and experienced workforce from this Carolina gold rush can be directly credited for the success of the much larger gold rush of 1849 in California, which drew many of these now skilled miners West.[9]Over 2,500 ounces of gold was deposited in the Philadelphia Mint by 1824.[3]Due to the bountiful gold production in the Carolinas, the Charlotte Mint was built in Charlotte and opened for business on July 27, 1837.^ Becker, G.F., 1895, Reconnaissance of the Gold Fields of the Southern Appalachians, Washington: Government Printing Office, Sixteenth Annual Report, Part II^ Glawson, Joshua D (April 10, 2024).
