Get on the kinzli CA forum. Several central valley folks read and chime in there. To get to the main page, you have to sign up. But it's easy: Just pick a name and a password.

The hard part is finding places to hunt that actually have old coins or relics. I drove around Mariposa, Oakhurst, and Raymond area yesterday looking at a couple "ghost town" spots but everything seems to be private property. The only place i think might give stuff up is French flats by New Melones Lake. Its on blm land.

I almost got an AT pro but decided to give the new BH Land ranger pro a try. I havent used it yet though. Some People talked about Lost Lake off friant but i couldnt find much history on that spot. I have a ton of info on the history of friant so im sure people had to of been around lost lakes area in the late 1800's. Have you hunted there?

Yea patience is a must in this hobby haha Have you been to Railroad flats, bagby, briceburg area? I know there are lots of claims there for prospecting but that means there should be old mining camps.
