I'm in Texas but have the ability to travel often to California to prospect. Grew up in Folsom and did lots of sluicing back in the 70's and then the late 80's. Am looking to get back into some back-breaking labor and find some gold in the Mother Lode!

Where to start? After reading this forum a bit it seems getting with a club is a good idea.

Is there an active club in the Auburn, Colfax, Nevada City areas you would recommend?

Thanks!

Auburn Goldhounds is the biggest & best and has a great website. Absolute non profit with outings ,meetings, demos and lots of righteous retired folks who like to go and are in the know to keep you out of trouble. NEW LAW signed Friday by our ignoranus in command here so draconian rules in effect. See topics here on forum...sic sic sic-John

Auburn gold hounds! Mr. Gilded and I are members. It's a lot of fun and everyone is so nice.

They have a Facebook page too that is posted to daily.

Anything going on the weekend before Thanksgiving? I'm thinking of coming out and would like to learn from the folks at Mother Lode Gold Hounds.

Got to start again some way!
