Ore Hill, Mount Vernon Springs, North Carolina. This was the biggest iron mine in the south during the American Revolution and Civil War, but it’s fairly small. The bedrock is Pyrophyllite, leading to dry soils supporting an unusual Piedmont population of Chestnut Oak trees.

👍Rockhound over in WNC here, always interested in reading about the old workings. Here is an interesting one in my county - Fairfield Lake. But sitting about 20 ft under that water is what was in 19th century the most productive gold mine in this part of the state, Georgetown.

I’ve read about that! Also massive gold mining around Box Creek in Rutherford County, with some hobbyist gold panning operations still open.

A very climbable v shaped tree in the first pic, Tim. Oh to hear the crinkling of the leaves and see the smile on your face as we explore the woods together. 😩 That'd be one of my wishes should I ever find a genie lamp, Tim. 😳
