Looking for property in Northern California

[AUDIGGER]

Hi

I spent a week this past summer at Roaring Mining Camp in Pine Grove, CA in Amador County. What a great family experience and the gold was great too. I want to buy property somewhere in Northern California next year but not sure where the best area would be. I am looking for acreage that has creek/river access and deeded mineral rights that convey with the property. I want to be able to fish and prospect yet be close to many of the old mining towns for day family trips.
I guess what I am asking is does anyone have any recommendations as to what counties(Sierra, Nevada, Amador,Tolumnee,etc) and rivers would give me and my family the best opportunities of finding good gold.thanks for your help and insight

You might try posting in the Gold Prospecting forum. There are hundreds of members there that live, mine, and prospect in norcal. Each of the counties you mentioned offer great opportunities in addition to Placer, Plumas, El Dorado counties. I'm partial to Nevada county as I had great fun on the SF Yuba river and
the Grass Valley/Nevada City area is steeped in mining history. One caution, - a LOT of environmental influence has moved in to these counties with disdain
and contempt for modern day mining.
