One of the best locations for taking an exciting gold bullion mining trip is in California and more particularly it’s Gold Country. One of the best locations is the Mother Lode near to the Sierra Nevada Mountains which spans 100 square miles. Taking a gold mining trip in California is easy with over 50 camps and 11 counties housing them.

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. However in those towns which weren’t so lucky, it can be fascinating to see the ghostly atmosphere.

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.

Travelling to northern California is where you will find the most profitable gold mining towns in the state as it was here that was best hit during the Gold Rush. The American River which runs through these parts deposited large amounts of gold on its banks and gold sifting could be done by everyone.

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 is a commodity favoured by all from the earliest histories to the modern day. In terms of its physical science, gold has an atomic number of seventy-nine and its symbol on the periodic table is Au. It is a precious metal used in sculpture, jewellery and as an ornamental piece. People will use hundreds of thousands of pounds to buy gold bullion coins and bars and it is treasured by countries and cultures everywhere.
