The Golden State, California, shines true to its name, harkening back to its golden days when prospectors flocked to the state in the first gold rush in 1849, in their quest for gold.
Following a long drought, the runoff from a torrential downpour has eroded much of the soil and rock, depositing El Dorado's bounty into rivers, igniting this renewed quest.
Geologist Barron Brandon explains.
Although contemporary prospectors rely on state-of-the-art tools such as metal detectors and wetsuits to enhance their quest for the precious metal, certain gold-finding methods from 1849 persist.
Donning a wetsuit, Albert Fausel inspects a hole anticipating the discovery of more gold nuggets.
Since the historic gold rush of 1849, stringent measures have been put in place to curb lawlessness and conserve the environment.
State parks enforce the 'hands and pans' policy, restricting the use of shovels for digging and permitting only manual tools like hands and pans.
However, on public property, individuals can still 'stake a claim' akin to the practices of 1849.
Nevertheless, irrespective of the location, all gold seekers are obligated to adhere to the country code, prioritise environmental preservation and promptly report discoveries to the respective landowners.
With water levels dropping in June, riverbeds will yield higher returns on the gold quest.
Brandon is convinced there remains a plethora of gold to be uncovered.
