Any luck finding gold? I went there a few times and the only thing I found were a lot of tiny gold specks (and a lot of it is probably pyrite) in the river's sand along the shore and the little inlet with stagnant water where James Marshall first found gold. If there's any gold left that no one took yet, I think it's probably in the middle of the river where's it's hard to reach b/c of the current, depth, and getting wet. Or you have to dig.

But the park set up some troughs in the hills.

but the reproduction of the mill was based on redrummer quotients so it doesnt really count.

Thanks for this--a bit of an education! I loved the Dan Fogelberg song about this, and moved from that video to seeing this. Very interesting!!
