Finding a $300 Gold Nugget!💰 We recently went Gold mining in California with our friend Dave from Private Reserve on his claim and it was a blast! We were digging at an old site that was active during the original California Gold Rush where miners used to dig entirely by hand. We were following a Colluvial Placer deposit meaning the Gold was moved downhill by gravity and water over time near the source of where the Gold formed. We used an excavator to slowly peel away layers of dirt and then carefully checked the exposed wall with metal detectors for Gold targets. We found six pieces total over three days of digging in the hot sun and we can’t wait to share more with you all soon!✨
