- After the first gold rush 175 years ago, prospectors are heading back into the California hinterlands hoping to find their fortune.
According to media reports, gold hunters have been converging on Sacramento and Placerville in central California, taking to the creeks and streams with their gold pans and other equipment. Albert Fausel, a third-generation owner of the Placerville Hardware store, said in an interview with CBS that he is already seeing a pick in his store for gold equipment.
Also, in an interview with the New York Times, Fausel described his own recent treasure-hunting experience. In a wetsuit with goggles and a snorkel, the business owner spent a recent Sunday afternoon sweeping a creek bed for potential nuggets.Not only has California's volatile weather created an environment for a new gold rush, but the precious metal holding around $2,000 an ounce is adding to the gold fever.
