The Loud Mine is in White County, near the eastern end of Georgia’s famous Dahlonega Gold Belt, which stretches diagonally (southwest to northeast) across the north end of the state.
The camp’s office is staffed with a full-time caretaker. A clubhouse is available for member’s use. Sanitary facilities, showers, and dump station are available. Camping is available for over 250 people. Along with 32 water and electric hook-ups with more under construction.
Approximately one-third mile of Town Creek and one of its smaller tributaries meander through this 39-acre property. Dredges of up to 4” may be used in Town Creek. Highbanking, sluicing and panning also.
Deep layers of alluvial gravels, separated by dense clay layers, overlay soft bedrock (saprolite) throughout this region. Numerous gold-bearing quartz veins run through the Loud Mine property. Coarse gold is mostly found, indicating that it is still relatively close to its source.
