Does anyone know any good places to go gold detecting in Northern California? I just got a gold bug 2 I want to give it a whirl or really anywhere in California.

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 countryim in so cal.
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.
