I want to go gold mining in California and I don’t know where to go. I’m not like some Old Timers who use the pumps and stuff but the regular shovel and pan. I was wondering where i should go that would be a good spot, has good information there, and (maybe) has equiptment rentals. This site can be anywhere in california. thanx

    Camp Williams on the San Gabriel River still has some gold. It’s 30 miles north of Azusa and deep in the Angeles National Forest. Also, the state of California lists 16 sites as “active gold mines.” Most of them in Northern California’s Gold Country.
