Where to Find Gold! Gold....gold.....gold!
Do you want some free gold, rubies and other gems that you can proudly say you "mined" yourself? I was told that the prospect of finding gold is a lot better than winning the lotteries. It would be a very good thing and profitable thing to do then. (But - I was told - hard work!). Then go fly to the gold mines that are open to the public. These gold mines were real gold mines that were abandoned and now are being used for recreational gold prospecting. Just imagine getting all the precious gems, jewels - most of them are expensive gems -- that you can use for jewelry or sell for money? There is no recreational task as fun and lucrative as prospecting for gold and mining your own gems. Some people - especially those that are retired are doing this as full time job. So read this to see how to find gold and gems.

Find Gold in California
California was called the "Golden State" for a reason. It is because the "gold rush" occurred there, after the miners abandoned the gold mines in the East Coast. The "Motherlode" county of California has been a favorite and most traveled county to prospect for gold. In 1854, the largest gold nugget was found at the Carson Hill above the Stanislau River. The weight was 195 pounds and during that time, it was valued at $43,534.00. Just imagine at the current time of $1400.00 plus an ounce, it would, at today's price, valued at more than $200,000.00. What a steal! I have to work a lot of years to get that kind of money!

Gold Prospecting in Alabama
Prior to the famous gold rush in California, gold was already found in the state of Alabama. When the Alabama gold prospectors found the Motherlode in California, the Alabama gold mines were abandoned. the prospectors found that there were more opportunities and more places to find gold in California. There are so many places were gold was discovered and so prospectors rushed to these places.
In addition to the private citizens who are gold prospectors, several companies started their gold mining operations as well. These mines are still being mined today, and some that were abandoned are still being mined by private gold finders.
Much of the gold in Alabama were found in Hog Mountain and at the Hillabee mine, an area called Piedmont Uplift, which covers several counties counties in Alabama.
