Arizona Gold Detecting
Arizona Gold Detecting
Arizona gold nugget detecting in Western Arizona. Gold nuggets are still being found in the old Arizona gold placer areas. Gold prospecting is fun but, has many hazards. Here I’m using the new White’s TDI metal detector for the 1st. time.

California Gold Rush
California Gold Rush
The California Gold Rush (1848–1855) began on January 24, 1848, when gold was found by James W. Marshall at Sutter’s Mill in Coloma, California.
All in all, the news of gold brought some 300,000 people to California from the rest of the United States and abroad.
The gold-seekers, called “forty-niners” (as a reference to 1849), often faced substantial hardships on the trip. While most of the newly arrived were Americans, the Gold Rush attracted tens of thousands from Latin America, Europe, Australia, and China. At first, the prospectors retrieved the gold from streams and riverbeds using simple techniques, such as panning.

Gold Nugget Found On Fishing Trip
A weekend hobby between a father and son struck gold when the 14-year-old teenager discovered a rock that holds six ounces of gold.
Colfax is located in California’s Sierra Foothills, just off of I-80 between Sacramento and Reno, Nevada. The rich history of Colfax is closely tied to the gold rush and the original transcontinental railroad.
