California Gold Mining Claim
2009 July 23
Gold prospecting is still going on in California.Many of the large operations are gone, but, weekend miners and gold prospecting have taken their place. This video is at the Cargo Muchacho Mountains located in the Sonoran Desert in southeastern California in the United States. The range lies in a northwest-southeasterly direction in Imperial County northwest of Yuma, Arizona. Southeast of the Chocolate Mountains and east of the Algodones Dunes. The mountains were home to the American Girl Mine, and the Golden Bee and Cargo gold mines.

This is a huge flight to safety in highly (hyper?) inflationary times. I expect the miners and producers to follow the price of gold up soon.

I like the real GOLD nuggets.
As most gold is mined as very fine dust and tiny nuggets, the larger (over 1oz) nuggets are very rare! Actually they are as rare as large diamonds!
I would suggest you look into large nuggets!

At the end of 2001, it is estimated that all the gold ever mined amounts to about 145,000 tonnes!!

Gold production has been growing for years, but the real acceleration took place after the late 1970s, when output was in the region of 1,500tpa. This year’s output will fall short of production levels in 2001. This is partly for specific operational reasons at some of the larger mines (Grasberg and Porgera), along with lower grades at some of the operations in Nevada. The reduction in exploration and development expenditure over the past five years is leading a number of analysts to suggest that, with other operations nearing the end of their lives, global production is likely to drop slightly over the next two to three years – subject always of course to price.
