This prospecting talks reminds of why to this very day since I was about 8 yrs old,I carry and pan a small garden shovel.. My Dad would drag six kids during the summer all over Amador,ElDorado Calaveras,Sierra counties and pan for gold in the small streams and some placer deposits higher above the stream beds. Gold in the 60's was I think about $120-30 a ounce. We never hit the Mother Lode but learned a lot just bumping the country with my Brother,Sisters and Dad.
