THE GOLD OF 'ELDORADO CANYON' - MARIPOSA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

摘要

First, let me say that Eldorado Canyon is what we call this area, but it's not the real name. It's a piece of private property where we have permission to metal detect; I do not want to start another gold rush! The property is located in Mariposa County, California, and all the gold in the pictures came out of an area the size of two football fields.Second, I want to thank Jim Straight. I met him a couple of years ago at a hunt sponsored by the Antelope Valley Treasure Hunters in Lancaster, California. Jim has been my friend every since. I've read his books on nugget hunting, and followed his advice. My wife, Dorthy, and I spent hours in a restaurant, drinking coffee and talking with Jim - he has a lot of knowledge to pass on. Jim's books gave me the knowledge necessary to find this left over gold in Eldorado Canyon.
