California’s Unusual Wet Winter Sparks New ‘Gold Rush’

California’s Unusual Wet Winter Sparks New ‘Gold Rush’

California is experiencing a gold rush similar to the first one in 1849. Thanks to the record snow and heavy rains from California’s unusually wet winter, the flow of water is pushing the precious metal downstream. Now, people are putting on their gear to find the treasure. “Nugget Nick” Prebalick of California Gold Panning showed off the gold he found to Inside Edition.

    Gold was discovered way before 1849 that’s why USA stole California from Mexico

  7. Luis Gonzalez on July 25, 2023 at 9:49 pm

    Well I hope they give some of that gold to poor people so then we all can leave the US

  11. S G on July 25, 2023 at 9:54 pm

    I don’t believe it. I think California is just getting desperate in trying to persuade people to move there.

  12. Trust me bro ! on July 25, 2023 at 9:55 pm

    I was down in California looking for gold, i ended up leaving on probation and got herpes while I was there instead

    Remember folks, when theres a gold rush, the one you want to be is not the gold digger, but the ones selling supplies, thats how you make the big bucks.

  16. ツZEFIX on July 25, 2023 at 10:03 pm

  17. Cade Becker on July 25, 2023 at 10:04 pm

    Unfortunately the US government mind the West Coast for like 70 per-cent of its gold decades ago before it released publicly .

  21. Raynell Welch on July 25, 2023 at 10:12 pm

  23. E S on July 25, 2023 at 10:15 pm

    Now you know why they want so much to push all you Californians out of the state, they want that gold all for themselves. Oil last week, gold this week. Don’t leave the state to the real criminals. 😂

  24. Turbocharged Dude on July 25, 2023 at 10:15 pm

    Something fun to do with the kids. That’s probably like $5 worth of gold for hours of work. 😂

  25. Minto Joy on July 25, 2023 at 10:17 pm

    "FAKE NEWS" 😡

  26. Travis Derby on July 25, 2023 at 10:17 pm

  27. winterberry on July 25, 2023 at 10:17 pm

    how long until they tax it

  34. DT Skx on July 25, 2023 at 10:26 pm

    Now California will be again extracted for resources and California has another way to tax the mess out of us. Weed? California takes in 35% sales tax while countless people spent hard prison time and lost everything. The good ole American way! lol

  35. Aaron E on July 25, 2023 at 10:26 pm

    Everyone knows; well; those who pay attention to history; the people who profited the most from the gold rush was the stores selling the equipment, food. ect. to the "49ers"!

  36. Nathan Cobb on July 25, 2023 at 10:27 pm

    I love finding gold here in Northern California. Yes there is still good gold here, the trick is finding where it drops out.

  37. sodbuster on July 25, 2023 at 10:28 pm

    I live in lake Isabella and not long ago from these wet snows the town across the lake was flooded kernville i think, it was bad its doing better now but the river was basically flooding the park and almost took out the bridges that went over😅

  40. Timelyseeker on July 25, 2023 at 10:29 pm

    I discovered a new form of cringe, where someone says "eureka" too much

  41. m87orion on July 25, 2023 at 10:31 pm

    If you find a sizable amount the government is going to come a knocking and say give me.

  42. shortyklee on July 25, 2023 at 10:31 pm
