Mojave Desert Gold Series

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tax deductible donations are being sought by the project and you can read about that here:

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.
