WI Gold found in Virginia 1607

Okay so we all know that the early Virginians came to the new world looking for gold but were sadly disappointed. This forced the Virginians to look for other opportunities. But WI they did find rivers of gold how would this affect the development of Virginia? Initially the colonist were to trade maufactured goods with the Indians for gold and food in exchange. Does Virginia develop a manufacturing industry along side its agricultural products(tobacco) or does manufacturing win out completely?
 
Well, we have it here:

Not too far from where I'm at, either (Fredericksburg area).

Wiki claims VA was the 3rd largest gold-producing state, so an early VA gold rush is a real possibility.

Edit: it's mostly inland (past the Fred fall-line) and deep in Indian territory rather than near the tidewater settlements. Unless you have the Indians collecting and trading it there's little chance the colonists would find it or know where to look for it. A later POD once VA was established as a colony and frontiersmen were moving inland (say mid-to-late 1600s or early 1700s) will probably be required.
 
perhaps in the 1620's one of the settlers notices some gold Jewelry on one of the visiting Powhatan Indians and inquiries lead to the location of the Potomac [Great Falls] Gold Fields.

Tales of The discovery of Gold in Virginia would be exaggerated back in England, and thousands of men set out for the Colony

The Gold in the Potomac needs to be panned , and isn't all that plentiful, Most has to dug out of a Mine.
Maybe a Miner from Wales, or Serbia notices the traces, and starts digging a mine.
This give employment to some of the Rushees, But most have to find work on the Farms, & Plantations.

This alleviates the Labor Shortage for a short time and slows down the move to Africans.

Both France and Spain have Claims on Virginia [Jamestown Fort was positioned so that Spanish Ships couldn't shot at it from the River]
Whe will also have more trouble with the Indians, so more Soldiers will be sent.

Both Spain and France will start looking closer to home for their Gold Fields,
Maybe Arcadian French discover the Maine Fields, But the Georgia Fields are to far inland,
However Spain may put a fort at the Savannah & Charleston River Mouths to enforce Its claims to the Carolinas

With Virginia moving towards the Potomac area this Early, Whe will not Have Lord Calvart getting the OTL area of Maryland.

Instead after the 1630 War with Spain, Lord Calvart is given the area around Fort Savannah, newly gotten from Spain.
