Gold is one thing, but raw minerals like those rubies or garnets or anything else you would find I just wouldn’t know what to do with it.

Those are some cool finds, but people should know that most of those rocks and minerals didn't come from NC. They call it "native dirt" or "soil" because the only thing that is native to the area, in those piles, is the dirt/soil... Some of the quartz and garnets might be from the area, but all the corundum (ruby and sapphire) and kyanite is likely imported into the country and salted into the dirt piles.
@joshuarhoads2888 2 жыл бұрын
There are places where you can find NC ruby, sapphire, garnets, kyanite, tourmaline, and more... but this isn't the place. Major tourist trap.
