"In a small stream of water, which issued from a bank of sand near Jamestown, a sediment of some shining mineral substance, which had some resemblance to gold, was discovered. At a time, when the precious metals were conceived to be the peculiar and only valuable productions of the New World, when every mountain was supposed to contain a treasure, and every rivulet was searched for its golden sands, this appearance was considered as an infallible indication of a mine.
