California’s Gold County is one of the best locations to take a gold bullion mining trip. One of the best locations is the Mother Lode near to the Sierra Nevada Mountains which spans 100 square miles. There are more than fifty other mining camps that span as many as eleven counties that can prove to be ideal for your gold mining trip.

You should try and take a gold mining trip to towns that started off as mining camps but which grew prosperous because of the money coming in from gold mining and which became big and this prosperity ensured that they were able to survive even up to the modern times. Equally exiting is visiting the ghost towns which are now deserted after no gold was found.

If you take the Mother Lode Highway, more conventionally known as the CA-49, you will get to visit the gold mines at Auburn and Mariposa.

You should visit the towns and regions which were especially lucky in finding loads of gold during the Rush as this will help you to understand the scale of the gold community. Gold sifting on the banks of the American River was done by all as the current left large gold deposits at its edges.

No gold mining tour in California is complete without visiting the areas of Auburn and mariposa as mentioned as well as Placerville, Sutter Creek, Angels Camp and Jamestown. Gold has been a material treasured by every people on the earth for thousands of years. In physics, Gold has the symbol of Au on the periodic table and an atomic number of seventy nine. It is a precious metal used in sculpture, jewellery and as an ornamental piece. Today gold is used in investment and as a guarantee against poor economic times but it looks set to be treasured around the world for centuries to come.
