Tennessee  mine
Placer gold was discovered on Coker Creek in Monroe County, Tennessee in 1827. The district produced about 9 thousand troy ounces (300 kg). About 15 thousand troy ounces (450 kg) of gold was recovered from the massive sulfide copper ores at Ducktown, Tennessee.Tennessee is a very large state from side to side, and a lot of people ask where they can go gold panning in Tn. Unfortunately, the best gold is along the most eastern edge of the state. This is a fairly narrow strip of land along the North Carolina border. The farther you go from the N.C. border, the less gold you find.
