dogodog Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Why is all the gold in California Ha Ha , I'm jealous, Northern California is not only beautiful but it has gold too!! I haven't found that wonderful color in about 2 years. It's kinda like fishing, If you don't fish for the fish your looking for you just might not find it. I think you just gave me the inspiration to focus on the yellow stuff. Great finds!!! and post some photo's of the scenery. It's been quite awhile since I've been there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Catcher Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 8 hours ago, dogodog said: I'm jealous, Northern California is not only beautiful but it has gold too! It also has the trash of >100.000 old timers buried. Most places don't even have a clean area where you can put down your detector without your headset blowing off your ears. The GPZ is great in finding those beautiful sounding deep targets, which turn out not seldom to be large pieces of mining equipment junk left behind >>100 years ago. Of course, unearthing this junk will often take you > 2 feet of digging, which makes this even more fun. Don't get me wrong. I like it up here. The Sierra's are beautiful and there are spots where you find gold. But for the most part I use my SDC and focus on bedrock. My GPZ I use more in the desert (NV, Southern-CA, AZ). For really hopeless areas only the GM1000 with iron meter allows for some hunting fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
