Because of the situation during the first gold rush, California created some rules.
These rules maintain order and protect the environment.
In public parks, no shovels are allowed for digging, only hands and pans.
Similar to 1849, individuals can still claim gold which they find on public land.
But, it's important to follow rules.
They must take care of the environment and inform landowners of all gold discoveries.
