Legendary Native American Figures: Talapus. Coyote is a trickster character that occasionally appears in Chinook legends, even though Bluejay is the more typical trickster figure in Chinook mythology. Indeed, some of the same stories usually told about the Bluejay were sometimes told by Chinook people with Coyote as the main character instead.
My best success was from buying dirt from a mine in Dahlonega which resulted in paying about what the gold was worth after panning it out. Most of the gold in Georgia can be found along a line from Clayton in the northeast to Buchanan near the Alabama line. Along this line is Dahlonega, Canton, Allatoona, and Acworth. The gold belt is not well defined and spread out in places.
The U.S. government established a branch mint at Dahlonega in 1835; it produced $6 million in gold coins before closing in 1861. The mint eventually became the site of North Georgia College. In 1958, mule-drawn wagons delivered 43 ounces of Dahlonega gold to Atlanta to be used on the Capitol dome. The gold rush brought tragedy as well: it was one of the major reasons behind the removal of the Cherokee in 1838. North Georgia would never be the same after Benjamin Parks picked up a golden rock on October 27, 1828, Today in Georgia History.
