West of Montenau, along the Amel and its tributaries, are quartz veins with small amounts of gold. The Celts and the Romans dug here. Towards the end of the 19th century there was a short gold rush, which quickly came to an end due to the low yield. Source: ostbelgien.eu/de/fiche/virtualtour/wolfsbusch

Shortly before the end of the First World War (1914), the prospecting for gold ended there because the yield was too low. The heavy material, which also includes gold, was separated from the rest of the material by means of the gold sluice. For this purpose, water was flushed into the gutter. Then the gold panning pans were used. (information board on site)

The search for gold in and around Iveldingen-Montenau has a long tradition ... Gold has been searched for centuries along the Amel and its tributaries ...
