New 49'er question. Where's the color?
Hello. I've paned and sluiced before a little as a kid. Now I've grown up and have my own kid and would like to get him outdoors. Like I said I a new 49'er, meaning I live in Auburn, CA. I know the area pretty good. I know the usual easy spots like, Bear River Campground, Iowa Hill Campground, Ponderosa, Yankee Jim's. I was just wondering what are some other opinions of the area are. Are these places still colorful, or should I try elsewhere? Are there any local GPAA or LDMA claims? I plan on going to the local prospecting store in Auburn and asking also. Any suggestions of areas to go, or local groups to join? I don't expect any pin point directions, just any help getting pointed in the right general direction.
I would have searched before posting but it's not allowed. And I'm hunting for current knowledge.
Thanks.
