The Sixes Mine is a Georgia Gold Belt mine. This lode mine is in Cherokee County, GA, located off Bells Ferry Road, south of Canton, Georgia. It is currently located on Army Corps of Engineers property. Public access is difficult - since there's no easy approach. However, visiting is allowed by the Corps - but no equipment (just "hands and pans"). The mine's coordinates are 34.18389, -84.55639 (nad27) N 34°11'2" W 84°33'23" UTM : 16 725206E 3785256N.

The Sixes Mine was originally worked by the Cherokee and was located near the Cherokee town called Sixes. It may have been in operation as early as 1819 and would therefore predate the Georgia Gold Rush.
