[@theoregonhistoryhunters2209]

Love the historical diggins! Looks like they worked benches, maybe try some high banking or run sluice in the springs up in the high terrace cobble deposits!

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Yes I love that stuff as well, they sure were some men back then!

[@blackbart336]

I've spent the last season looking for a new claim, something closer and family style. Found it too! But you just reminded me that I love to explore new areas. I'll work the dirt this season but next year I'll be poking around again...

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Thats great Bart, yes still always nice to get out and see something new once in a while!

Another fantastic video from another incredibly beautiful spot. You've done an excellent job of sharing that beauty with your viewers. I post videos. You create art. It ain't all about the gold in the pan. Great weather and another scenic day on the river with some good friends ...that's 100% pure gold. Aloha

Jerry, You always find beautiful places to do your prospecting videos. And I truly enjoy your choices. It’s like I put myself in your video.

Go get the GOLD🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

I really do appreciate that you appreciate it Phyllis thank you!

Hi California Mother Lode Prospectors , I wish that I could come up too California right about now , because the earthquakes are probably opening up places where it could expose or shake loose any kind of gold or maybe even a motherlode ! 👍😃

Is the canyon something anyone can prospect like, the Yuba River State Park (or at least portions of it are public)? No intention of breaking some kind of protocol/etiquette/unwritten rule(s) with asking is intended. I'm completely new to panning/prospecting.

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Chuck this area is wild and scenic river so it cannot be claimed but you had pan still, look up auburn state rec area, wild and scenic river systems and blm/forest land but you have to watch out for claims on these lands.
