Never found anything in the Napa area. Some color about 30 miles NNE around Pope Valley was the closest I found. Don't get shot, Meth labs everywhere.

This...the gold contained in this area is microscopic to flake at best - unsure as to where you can get a "good sum of fine color," the gold went largely unobserved until the 80's when Homestake came in and extracted billions in gold using advanced extraction techniques before closing up shop.
