Gold in California

Gold in California is a precious metal that is found in rocks and other places all over the state. People who look for gold are called "gold prospectors." They use special tools to dig and search for gold, and if they are lucky they can find some! Gold is valuable because it is rare, and it can be used to make jewelry and other things. Gold is also a great way to save money, because it doesn't go down in value. In California, you can sometimes find gold in creeks and rivers or even on beaches!
