Gold detecting in california

I'd join a prospecting club so you can use their claims. Otherwise, you'll have to research some of the public areas where it's allowed.
 

There is a section for Metal Detection for Gold Propecting on this site: Metal Detecting For Gold

You will likely find more people with a common interest there.
 

Which one did you join? That sounds something like I'm into
 

Look up GPAA (Gold Prospectors Association of America). They have lots of claims.

Awesome I want to come down there and do some detecting let me know what you discover down there as far as places to go and possibly clubs I hear there's good gold there
 

You can go pretty much anywhere. Start out around the house & get use to the tones & what they are. You said your around Folsom right? Just go to any of the river parks & work the beaches to start. Gold is all over your area along with plenty of open ground to hunt. The South Fork has a lot of open parks along the river right there also. It's just a matter of taking that first step.
 

im in so cal.
Along with the GPAA, you may also want to check into the Southwestern Prospectors and Mining Assn. They're mainly a San Diego group but have a number of members in nearby areas too. They also have many claims and reciprical agreements with other club claims around the country

I am new kid in the block. i live in Folsom. Where can I find GOLD. Is there any gold detecting in Northern California around Yreka??? I am using a GPX5000 and if your suggestion finds us some gold, you will receive proper reward.
 

If your in Yreka, it's all around you. Rivers, streams and sand bars. The fires are done, it's time to hunt.
