<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 380197, member: 12789&quot;]I would tell you where you could go, where the gold can be found, but who does that?&nbsp; I have done a fair bit of placer mining in my teenage years, let me tell you, water that is ice cold melt run off does really feel cold after awhile.&nbsp; It is fun to do, but if you are really serious you buy a dredge and sluice box and increase your volume dramatically, that is the only viable way to perform placer mining.&nbsp; Don&#039;t expect to find pay dirt unless you are on private land <i>with permission</i>, otherwise if your caught, it might be your last trip ever.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In other words, make sure you have permission, people in the hills are a bit more territorial about their turf.&nbsp; It is not only people hiding out their gold claims, but also people growing controlled or rather illegal substances in some of these domains.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t expect to do it on state land without a claim, otherwise you can get in hot water with the los jefes.&nbsp; From experience these public areas are well picked over, and really not good, because everybody and their uncle staked claims and picked off anything good long ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
