Gold Diggers
It's been nearly 160 years since the era of California history known as the Gold Rush began. We're all familiar with the image of the old prospector, diligently sifting through pans of dirt looking to strike it rich. Turns out those days are far from over. Today you can still find a prospector in the exact same spot, although he probably has a GPS, a hydraulic pump and a sport utility vehicle to get him up to the hills.
