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.

A gold mining trip would not be complete without visiting those towns which got lucky by striking gold and have remained prosperous to this day. However, an exciting time awaits those who also try out the ghost mining towns that are part of some very attractive gold mining trips.

Mining camps which grew during the time of the gold rush can be found down the CA-49 or mother Lode Highway, a great visit for anyone interested in gold as you will also get to see camps in Auburn and other counties.

Northern California was renowned for being the home of the Gold Rush and so your gold mining trip should include a visit to where gold was found in plenty in those parts of California. The lucky prospectors of the day could even scoop up gold in huge amounts straight out from the banks of the wonderful American River.

An exciting gold mining trip to California must include taking in destinations such as Auburn, Placerville, Sutter Creek, Angels Camp, Columbia and Jamestown as too Mariposa. Gold has been a material treasured by every people on the earth for thousands of years.

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.
