Hi Everyone! I'm Chris and I'm from Mountain View California where I work, and I also have a home in Oakdale California. My main hobby is fishing and there are lots of good places to fish in the Gold Country, but there are lots of places to search for Gold too!...So I've decided to get back into it as a recreational hobby, and then I found this neat site on the Internet. Sure glad I did, it's already great, as I see lots of educational information to read up on. Thanks for having me! ⛏��
