researching gold mine

ok ive researched the gold mine but cant find where to put it as all my buildings etc show in black so cant see a gold vein.
can anyone direct me to where it is????

The gld mines or the ones that go in the water? The gold mines go on the side of s mound of dirt on a think that kinda looks like a boil.

the gold mine i had to research it first then i now have to build one its one of the quests u get when u have to do the drill.

You have to find a gold-veined rock sticking out of a mountain wall. To get to one, you either have to have access to the land on the right side of the map (use a stick of dynamite to blow up a rock blocking a ramp) or build a bridge to the land at the bottom of the map (I built a bridge for the stranded lumberjacks). I can't remember where the rocks are in the bottom part of the map, but the one on the right side of the map is near the top of the map between the trees and the rock arch.

how do you research a gold mine...I have a feeling it has to do with the rocks that are stuck out of the walls...but blowing them up with dynamite doesn't work. I'm talking about when you are just in the regular town...not on a specific quest.

It's the reward for a quest, can't think of which one at the moment.

To build a Gold Mine, it says we need a Blacksmith. But it is locked too?!?

yeah...you have to have enough experience and such from the store to build a blacksmith...but I thought I had that...I guess I'll have to look into it a little more
