mn90403 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Reports of the Mineralogist for the state of California. It seems fake news has been around for a long time. https://books.google.com/books?output=text&id=13POAAAAMAAJ&q=217#v=onepage&q&f=false 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redz Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Of course the state minerologist was wrong about there being no gold around san francisco, as there is gold in the sands at ocean beach, and others, worked during the depression. There are also gold mines on Mount Diablo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought just some old minor lode mines, but nothing to speak of. Funny, I look at Mt. Diabolo every day from my house but I never prospected there. It's about 10 min away. Any placer gold? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Catcher Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I am pretty sure I have not missed out on anything. Mt. Diabolo was a huge coal mining district, with only very few reports of lode gold and silver. Also, the Sierra Nevada is just a short drive away and that's of course where all the action is. That being said, perhaps I check it out. You never know until you know.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
