mn90403 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 The local public TV station KCET has put together a series about gold in the Mojave Desert. I think there are only 3 parts and I have not watched the episodes yet but I have skimmed the online portions and they are fantastic. I've been to many of the places depicted and now I'll know a lot more about them when I make time to read and watch this history of my gold hunting areas. https://www.kcet.org/shows/artbound/desert-gold-part-i https://www.kcet.org/shows/artbound/desert-gold-part-ii https://www.kcet.org/shows/artbound/desert-gold-part-iii 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 I can't find an online link to the full videos. I saw there was an air date today for part 3 but I was not here to watch it. I thought there would be an easy link to the full episode but I don't see it now. The short video on all the episodes is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 The crystals at Trona were not available this year because of the earthquake. I've never attended but I wanted to the last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 I have looked and looked for a link to the videos but I'm still not seeing it. Today I got an email from the author and there is a link to a very similar description but it also includes some maps. http://mojaveproject.org/dispatches-item/desert-gold-part-i/ http://mojaveproject.org/dispatches-item/desert-gold-part-ii/ http://mojaveproject.org/dispatches-item/desert-gold-part-iii/ Tax deductible donations are being sought by the project and you can read about that here: https://mojaveproject.wedid.it/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Catcher Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Very cool, thanks for sharing. I am in the Mojave Desert often. Fantastic landscape with many Placer deposits. Has brought me good gold over the years. Too bad that most of Death Valley is off-limits for prospecting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
