pondmn Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Uncle Ron you can go down to Sacramento to the Govenator's office. He must have a lot of gold since we don't have a state budget and are ninety days past due . While you are there you might check out the gold museum next to the train museum in old Sacramento.

Hoser John Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 East a Quincy hang a right at Homegarden and go south to the Feather river crossing to El Portal and watch for grayish heavies as PT abounds and what a hoot, one of the few areas that has produced diamonds. SF Yuba between Nelson and Purdone crossing is a BLM rec area that is RIGHTEOUS(ancient tert river crossing) and when ya hike a 1/2 mile or so GOLD GOLD GOLD-tons au 2 u 2 -John PS welcome to N.Cal and we are in a hot streak=101-103 for week now but feather river canyon at altitude usually much cooler. Ifn' ya want a righteous article with food,history and whatnot last months AAA mag had the complete touristas review of Quincy- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Uncle Ron,Send me a PM and let me know when you will be up this way. I could point you inthe right direction, but most detecting spots I know will require an atv or 4wd.Gold is easier found with a gold pan or sniping and I could hook you up with somegood spots to do that. Aren't you a member of the wspa?Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Ron, I found my first hanger, which I'm still wearing (after 30 years) from Terry's Riffles, above Serpentine Canyon. Tried a Goldbug and 18000, there couldn't ground balance out the serpentine; that's when I decided to try a PI. Haven't got back up there since.Might also try above Rich Bar.Shep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
