#Mining is part of the fabric of #NovaScotia in ways we don’t always appreciate. For example, this image of a prospector panning for #gold is in the floor of the #Mineville Medical Centre. Many people probably walk over it without being aware of the area’s mining history.

Indications of #gold in #Mineville were first found by William Crooks. Young William’s father ridiculed him for thinking he had found gold so William threw the rock away.

A few years later in 1861, amid the excitement of the discovery of #gold in #Tangier, William went back to where he had found the rock and found several nuggets of gold. We now consider this the discovery of gold in #Mineville.
