Very nice moving to Paradise in a few months and also hobby prospect, are there any clubs in the area?

[MrLewis530]

@Gyva02 There's a lot of rivers, creeks, and streams in the Paradise area, and the canyons are littered with hundreds of old mines, there's also ancient river beds, and channels if you know where to look. You would think that in a town that has so much mining history, there would be tons of Prospecting clubs, but oddly enough for a town that has a yearly Gold nugget days festival, a gold nugget museum, and a "Miss gold nugget" pageant there are no clubs. Maybe we should start one.

[snowman108890]

i feel you on that one bro. if im in the area i'll bring my sluice and gear and we can prospect it up. im only 2 hours away here in sacramento. keep up with the sweet vids.

[snowman108890]

pretty good clean up. if you had someone to help you out you would be able to get that whole area worked through and mabey get down deep into that bed rock.

[MrLewis530]

@snowman108890 Help would be nice, but it's hard to find people that enjoy prospecting, most think of it as hard work, and don't understand how I can enjoy something that they consider strenuous work.

@MrLewis530 so what was the total weight of the gold i dont have any gold sadly well green gold but just the real small fine stuff

[MrLewis530]

@semaj175 I'm not sure, I go prospecting so often that I don't bother with weighing it after every outing, I wait until I have a enough gold to sell before I weigh it.

[darthkarr]
