goldfields

Definitions

Examples

• Goldfields in Nevada that had been neglected because the ore was just too expensive to extract were now attractive properties.

• The goldfields of Australia are historic, and the silver, lead and zinc mines of Broken Hill deserve particular mention.

• I was standing before an exhibit of facsimiles of the record nuggets which had been discovered in the goldfields of the Antipodes.

• When the goldfields were discovered, I turned to gold-digging; and between that and bullock-driving I have spent all my time.

• Hence arose a feeling of hostility among the diggers, not only to the police, but to all the officials on the goldfields.

• People lived fast in those goldfields days; it don't take long to pick up that sort of learning.
