To get onto the gold you need to do your own research, start with GEOVIC which is a great resource for newbies, or visit Miners Den and buy a few publications.

good luck

I lived there for about 20 years, mostly fine gold, from what I heard over the years, nuggets of any size were rare, tho I got one about 1/2 the size of my little finger nail when sluicing. Scrubby, overgrown with blackberries, hope that's changed, it's also black snake territory on the creeks.
