Information on the rear label:
Serious Gold mining began in SC around 1827 when Benjamin Haile found gold. Haile made the first shipment of SC gold to the U.S. Mint in 1829. Gold was also discovered in other areas of SC. In 1865, General Sherman sacked the Haile mine; a mineral supplier for the Confederacy. Effective mining did not resume until the late 1880s. The Haile mine processed one hundred tons of ore daily in the 1890s. In 1942, World War II brought an end to gold mining. The Haile mine reopened in 1981, and by the 1990s mining had also resumed at other SC mines. SC ranked sixth in the nation in production in 1992.  Today, SC is still actively mining gold.
