ALABAMA Gold Prospecting Map- 140 gold sites - 140 Alabama gold mines and prospecting sites are shown in seven counties. Gold mining in Alabama began in the 1830's and the hobby of gold prospecting and panning has been enjoyed by many people for many years. A geological report states: The Hilton Brothers reopened the pit. They succeeded in obtaining 65 ounces of gold from a hole 3 feet by 2 feet by 20 inches; the result of half a day’s work. Amazing stuff.
