VIDEO Renewed interest in California gold mining operations grows

Renewed interest in California gold mining operations grows | abc7news.com:

SUTTER CREEK GOLD MINE

"SUTTER CREEK, Calif. -- More than half a century after the state's big mining operations closed there is renewed interest in California gold. Its value has shot through the roof and so has the momentum to bring back mining operations. The first of them is about ready to start up. In this Assignment 7 report, we take you inside a genuine gold mine."


In the Sierra foothills, there are still reminders of California's golden past. A stretch of Amador County was called "the mother lode" for a reason -- more than 7.5 million ounces of gold were mined there. But by the 1950s gold prices dropped and the last of the big mining operations closed. Towns built by prospectors catered mostly to tourists. Now the miners are coming back.
"We believe there's a lot more gold that just hasn't been found yet," said Leanne Baker from the Sutter Gold Mining company.

Gold Fever and gold prospecting take center stage again tonight, 10/26/12 on Discovery channel.  

Friday nights will again be must see TV for those already infected with Gold Fever and is sure to convert a ton more of those just curious about prospecting as a hobby.


Tonight 10/26/12 brings the return of the ever popular Gold Rush series (this is season #3) as well as the introduction of “Jungle Gold” which follows the adventures of 2 brave/desperate Americans trying to mine for gold far away from home in Ghana, Africa.

We expect there to be something for everyone in these two shows – high drama, fortunes being made or lost, battling ego’s and/or teamwork, and of course the seemingly ever present danger at every turn.



The staff of Gold Fever Prospecting wishes each crew well in their adventures.  
Be safe, have fun and may you strike it rich.


As always, if you get the itch to do some of your own gold-prospecting give us a holler or visit our site at

New Series ‘Jungle Gold’ to Premiere Friday, October 26 on Discovery 


TWO AMERICAN ROOKIE GOLD MINERS PUT IT ALL ON THE LINE IN HOPES OF STRIKING IT RICH IN GHANA IN DISCOVERY CHANNEL’S ALL-NEW SERIES “JUNGLE GOLD”

With their futures on the line, they make a bold decision to risk it all to mine for gold in the West African jungles of Ghana, a region with vast reserves of gold-rich ground that could ensure even these rookies with aging machinery can strike it rich.

Armed neighbors, miles of broken roads, roadblocks manned by Ghanaian gangs, and shady and ruthless gold buyers are among the daily hurdles they must face and overcome to succeed in their plan to safely escape Ghana with enough gold to secure their families' futures.

'Bering Sea Gold: Under the Ice' review - SFGate

'Bering Sea Gold: Under the Ice' review - SFGate: "'Bering Sea Gold: Under the Ice' review"


“The American Dream is very much alive, though, as you can see on Bering Sea Gold: Under the Ice, people are finding it in the most unlikely and challenging places,” Nancy Daniels, Executive Vice President, Production and Development for Discovery Channel, said in a press release.  ”Cutting a hole through four feet thick ice and diving to the bottom of the Bering Sea, these modern-day gold miners show their determination and grit, and the depths they will go to earn a living.”

...."Unlike a lot of reality shows, "Under the Ice" is convincingly frightening. Even the smallest equipment failure can mean the difference between life and death, and as a viewer, you feel it. Imagine descending through a small opening in the ice into below-freezing water with limited visibility. If your miner's light fails, you can see nothing. The farther you wander from the hole in the ice, the more you put yourself in danger, not just because if something happens, you have only one way out and it's 50 feet away, but also because you are dependent on hot water being pumped from home base into your wet suit to prevent hypothermia. The farther the water has to travel, the more it will be cooled by the ocean before it reaches you...."
