I want to tell you the story of the biggest gold find ever made in the USA – discoveries that turned Nevada from a state full of ghost towns into the biggest gold producer by far. And it wasn’t a discovery made in the 1800s – it was a discovery made in my lifetime. It totally changed mining in Nevada forever. This amazing gold find is second best on earth, behind only the Witwatersrand gold mines of South Africa. They were passed over in former years by early day prospectors who depended largely on panning to test a deposit for gold. It is the discovery of the "Carlin Type" sediment hosted deposits of microscopic gold that were discovered in Nevada. For decades, they have yielded many millions of ounces of gold each year.
