Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 7 mine sites inside the county: 1 past producer, now closed, 6 sites producing when the record was made; the old survey maps add 7 holes drawn inside the county, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The mineral the records name is Gold.
A point in either file is a location, not a property line: the sheet shows the opening on the surface, not the rooms under it. The record that shows what runs under a parcel is the mine map. The OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds scanned underground mine maps and answers requests for a named mine or an area. Georgia publishes no abandoned mine inventory; the Dahlonega gold mines are not mapped by the state online.
Georgia abandoned mine maps ranks every county and town in the state by the workings recorded inside it, names the office that holds the mine maps, and says what to do if the ground moves.
Disclaimer: The mine information here is for general information only. Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there. Check with the mine map office named here before you rely on it, and have a qualified engineer look at any ground you are worried about. PublicRecordCenter.com assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors, omissions, or consequences arising from the use of this information.
Know before you ask
Each figure below was read on the official source linked beside it, October to November 2026. A fee or rule the source does not state is left out rather than guessed, and offices can change their schedules, so confirm on the source before you pay or travel.
The Probate fee book lists $25 for the first certified birth or death copy and $5 for additional copies. The marriage-copy instructions set $10 per certificate and require the completed license to have been returned and recorded.
The estate-record instructions allow public decedent-file requests, with up to two business days to bring a requested file to the office. Copies cost $1 per page. Select online documents do not imply that every Probate file is publicly available.
The court portal directory separates the Gwinnett case portal, re:SearchGA document purchasing and Recorder's Court cases. Choose the proceeding type before interpreting a missing search result.
The land-record schedule lists a $25 standard deed-recording fee and $1 per ordinary copy page. Its certified-copy row charges $2.50 for the first page and $1 for later pages. Do not transfer a different county's certified-copy formula to this office.
The Assessor contact instructions accept assessment appeals through the listed portal, mail or in person, but not by email or fax. A request for a property record is different from filing an appeal.
The County Police Uniform Division handles patrol calls in unincorporated areas. The Sheriff operates the county jail and provides court security. The Georgia guide identifies the separate statewide criminal-history services.
