FORSYTH COUNTY, GEORGIA

Near the town of Cumming all area stream and bench gravels contain placer gold. East of Cumming by 2 miles there is an old Hydraulic Working.

Near the town of Sugar Hill you will find the Simmons Mine. It was once a productive lode mine.

Minor placer where James Creek flows into the Chattahotchee.

The hydraulic mine east for Cumming is a gravel quarry now and because of the lake man made lake, its not very possible to get much further east of Cumming. I would recommend removing it from the where to find gold list. The Etowah river passes through the very upper tip of the county. As in Dawson there is gold there.
