Gold Prospecting in California

AquariusRadar · April 12, 2023

I am one of those who believe lots more gold lies buried in the foothills of the Sierras. The 49ers only found a small percentage of the gold of the Mother Lode. Here at my webpages is my take on prospecting today. I think this "dry" technique may be bettor than the popular water dredge sluicing in streams. Dredging is becoming less popular as the permitting requirements come more restrictive. Here is the link to my page(s) about California Gold. California Gold

For strong hikers and outdoor fans. The infirmities of old age prevent me from doing this kind of hiking- no trails.

More gold prospecting stories as a result of this winters big storms. Gold story They are right-the extra rainfall means more erosion and more gold being flushed into the streams. Also it means more gold will be present immediately below the 2150' elevation of Ancient Eldorado. Hiking along this terrain elevation in the areas where it crosses the old path of Eldorado will be another place to look. Plus you can avoid the icy water of the stream channels.

Dan Hurd has already found California gold

I'm sure Dan Hurd makes a lot more money with his prospecting videos on U Tube than he does picking up little pieces of gold from the rivers. He probably has been in the Sierras at some point but I think now he mostly remains in the Fraser river BC area. He, like several others on U tube, is a colorful character, and I enjoy watching the gold videos. Most of them do it for the fun of the search-recreation. Back in the day, so did I.
