The Gold country in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada is where lots of people go. Also the Klamath Mountains. Here's one website: http://www.historichwy49.com/goldfact.html\nIt suggests: The American River, Bear River, Yuba River, Deer Creek, Wolf Creek, Bridgeport, Colfax, Foresthill, Oxbow Reservoir, Yankee Jim's, on the Foresthill Divide, Washington (20 miles NE of Nevda City), Golden Quartz Picnic Area and Kelecher Picnic Area

Being in Dubai this may sound odd, but you may consider joining the GPAA (Gold Prospectors Association of America)\nFor 79.00 usd plus shipping you get a nice riffled pan , a snuffer bottle 6 bi-monthly magazines with lots of great information on all aspects of gold prospecting, a claims guide (a directory of all the claims leased by the club in the U.S.and Canada) and quarterly updates, a good video showing how to prospect, a hat and some other stuff. You can request no mining guide and save 20 bucks.\nThere are lots of ads in the magazine for retailers of lots of prospecting gear. I've been panning now about 5 years and really enjoy this hobby. I even bought a dredge this winter and can't wait to get out there this year. \nIf you want to get your gold fever really fired up visit http://www.goldprospectors.org/  . This is the GPAA website. You will find lots of links to valuable information including membership info and a message board to communicate with other prospectors.\nI hope you get your pan and find lots of gold !! \n\nlet me know how you do

Yes, as a lifetime Californian I can answer that question. I've spent the past 20 years as a Northern Californian. If you seek cool summertime temps, you have to stay on the west side of the Coast Range. Inland valleys really heat up in the summer.\n\nI live in the Wine Country, in an inland county. Our summers cook here, often into the triple digits in July and especially August. The only relief is over the mountains.\n\nThe other thing to know is that "Northern California" is a very big area. Fully a third of the state is north of San Francisco, extending clear to the Oregon border. So you're looking at hundreds of miles that fit the description if you define Northern California as roughly everything from Monterey north.\n\nAlso, with cool coastal temperatures comes fog. I love it as long as I don't have to drive in it.\n\nI could give you more specific recommendations if your question were more specific. What else are you looking for?  Job opportunities? Places with decent transportation? Nightlife? Rural/urban/suburban? Is cost of living a factor?

The GPAA (gold prospectors association of America) has a chapter in New Albony, Mississippi. Contact Tom Cranford, thegman@watervalley.net. He is the chapter contact. You could also visit www.goldprospectors.org  This is the official GPAA website. If anyone knows of gold in MS, it's the GPAA local chapter there.

Gold was found at the head of Six-Mile Canyon in Nevada in 1859 by two miners named Pat McLaughlin and Peter O'Reilly. A fellow miner, Henry Comstock, stumbled upon their find and claimed it was on his property. The gullible McLaughlin and O'Reilly believed him and assured Comstock a place in history when the giant lode was named. Following the gold up the canyon an outcropping of gold in quartz was found.

HAHAHA- California? Dream on unless you are willing to pay $1,000,000 for like 300 sqft. As far as Nevada, if you are looking at Las Vegas, then the North west to north central part of town. A beautiful master planed community called "Aliante" is in the North part of Las Vegas/north Las Vegas. You will get the most bang for your buck here. Try to stay away from the East part of town (Nellis AFB and all along the sunrise Mts. ewwww!) Other good ideas: Summerlin (west part of town), Seven Hills (south) and Mountain's Edge (another new master planned community in south west) are all beautiful, but you will pay a pretty penny. Henderson is ok... but I am not to familiar with all of it's area.

Northern California is beautiful. Been there only once but I was amazed. Its expensive though. Not sure what things are like in Tenn. I am from Colorado where things are expensive compared to where I moved from, Ohio. Cali was worse than Colorado, at least as far as housing and gas.

Well, sorry the answer is Fort Knox. Which by the way is in Kentucky. It is also home to the vast majority of the country's platinum and bronze.
