- The Gold Rush may be over, but panning for gold is still very much alive in California.
Deep in the Angeles National Forest, about an hour's drive from L.A., is a group of dedicated "gold diggers" who meticulously examine the San Gabriel River and pan for gold.
Even though much of California's gold is gone, many Angelenos believe otherwise.
Reporter Judy Muller interviews Bernie McGrath, a prospector who turned his life around after spending years hooked on heroin. McGrath is one of many regulars who work a stretch of the San Gabriel River, patiently gold prospecting with the hopes of finding flakes and nuggets of gold.

This man Bernie McGrath is an incredibly rare example of what humans can become , I salute him and I share his humble love for life and what is important.
Placer Gold is a renewable resource, it washes out of the lode deposits every year.
with the drought it ha allowed access to areas perilously inaccessible I've been prospecting for the last 40 years, and finding color in your pan, makes any day...Golden!

California gold will never be gone storms will wash what’s in the river out
pour man suffered a ralpse because they outlawed dreding wich can be the most profitable and easiest of ways of getting gold hope hes out there panning.
Dredging stirs up the mercury killing fish and other living creatures.Thank you Gov. Arnold.(R).
What Fish? All the illegals and their dirty diaper brigade not packing out trash. TRASH IN TRASH OUT!!!! Jerry Brown is what is killing California just like his father and sister.
@@philipmorphew6301 that statement is false. Using a dredge also cleans up heavy metals. I have found and collected mercury in just a gold pan. Plus what do you think happens during floods or spring runoff? A dredge is no comparison to nature. The power of a flood really stirs up sediment and heavy metals.
@@philipmorphew6301 they fish stopped being stocked.
An oldie but goodie !! Gettin GOLD !!
Sure could use that attitude of REALLY livin off the land today !!
