Here is an article from 1967 that may be of interest regarding prospecting for gold in southern california. I have included a link to a google map of the area. We will be publishing old articles once a week that may give clues to finding gold in california.
Perris-A 70 year old retired brick layer claims he has made a rich gold srtike in the Gavilan Hills. The area is just east of the old good hope mine, where more than a $ million in california gold bullion was extracted in the late 1800s.
Harry Ellis, 70, of Meadowbrook could produce 1000 ozs of gold and 39 ozs of silver per ton, if the preliminary assays hold up.
"We have excavated down to 60 feet and the deeper we go, the better the grade," he said.
Ellis has been prospecting since 1960, when he had to retire because of a serious injury. He has named his find the convalesent mine.The Gavilan Hills area around Perris have yielded gold before the 1849 strike in california.
These old articles cold prove to be gold themselves to the investigative type of gold miner.
GOOD LUCK!
