PG-Prospecting Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Hey everyone: So im curious what is everyones drive time and mileage to there nearest gold prospecting location. For me it ranges from out my backdoor to about 1.25 hours one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunker Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Right now it's about 2hrs. in a couple months about 2 minutes. I live in what I call a "beautiful place to starve to death" and I would probably sell out and leave if not for the beauty and the mining. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 about 200 miles and four hours... You are so right Klunker, I loved living in Portola, had tons of fun but the work was thin to none...still, living there was the best place I ever was... fred 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgatleyDP Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 There's gold to be found closer, but the only consistent "picker" finds are roughly a 4 hr drive from San Diego's area. Good hunting out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldwright Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Yeah I am 30 mins from lots of gold but lots of gates are closed and locked unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldrat Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I live in the main street of Dunolly Victoria ( centre of Golden Triangle } . I can leave home in 4 different directions and be on alluvial goldfields under 10 minutes . Cheers goldrat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
