Gold in "Them Thar" Hills 49er Mining Supplies Gold Mine Tour and Outdoor Writers Spring Conference Outdoor Writers Association of California in Tuolumne County for Gold! By Del Albright Sonora, CA, June 2008. The Outdoor Writers Association of California (OWAC) chose Tuolumne County for their Summer Conference and boy, did we find GOLD! As part of the conference, which was a lot of fun and very productive, we got to link up with some great folks from 49er Mining Supplies in Columbia, right outside Sonora, CA. What a thrill we had! Rob Goreham, owner/operator of 49er Mining Supplies gave us the grand tour of a real gold mine, and let us keep the gold we found! Wow. Yup, we went gold mining on a real claim and found real gold. Check out the photos. Interestingly enough, Rob donated the tour to the conference as one of his ways of educating folks on the right way to gold mine. "We show folks how it can be done with environmental sensitivity while caring for our rivers and creeks," said Rob. Sure enough, he showed us just that. It was impressive how much work the miners go to in order to protect waterways and riparian areas, while still finding gold.
