That's a pretty area. Nice place to go even if you don't find any Gold. I went up in that area on Memorial Day one year and it snowed 6 inches.
Spend a day squatting in that water with a metal pan and it will make you appreciate how much the old timers had to work for a living.
Thats true. I use a 7mm wet suit here in CA even during the summer. I did some dredging last year up near fairbanks, ak (30 miles upriver by airboat reeeemote) and it was really cold there. Ice on the banks, but it was sure fun and the gold was nice as well.

I'm game, but my wife must be able to come along. I take her everywhere I go, even deep sea fishing, and she loves it!
When is the best time of year for prospecting and what major city will I need to plan my travel and lodging iteneray for?
Steve
Major city? I guess that would be Reno, NV. That is about 80 miles from Quincy, CA where we go dredging / camping. I always take my wife and daughter. My 6 year old got hooked on dredging last year and I have to fight her for the air and nozzle.
The best time of year is probably July. We usually have a good size group go out on the fourth and spend a week camping and dredging.

Damn, some wife you have there! You're a lucky man Steve.

You hit that nail right on the head!
She's the best thing that every happened to me.
She can hang in there with the best deep sea fishermen I know, but I still haven't figured out how to get her to clean the fish!! :lol:
It's hard to believe some of the stuff she puts up with out of me. I've taken over sections of the house and turned them into my 'offices'.
She complains about my 'hobbies' every so often, but I can't blame her, everyone needs to blow off some steam now and again. :lol:
I don't know what I'd do without her.

Don't forget about the Dahlonega Gold District just north of Atlanta. They had a Gold Rush just before the one in California. LDMA has a site there. I'm planning on heading that way soon, just have a few details to wrap up here. If you want to visit, let me know. I'm sure there are other LDMA members here, too. I'm not sure where you're at in FL, but Atlanta is not too far for a road trip.
Drew,
I'm in the panhandle, my son lives in Atlanta.
