The unemployed have decided to mine for gold in California... Is it really getting that bad?

More power to them. It gives them something to do and they might even make a buck.

I think I read that California's unemployment rate was 10% in Jan. probably higher now.

I have mined for gold here in Alaska. There is this neat little place up by Haynes that you can actually do this, unfortunately I did not find any nuggets, but did collect a little bit of dust, about $400 worth.

The unemployed have decided to mine for gold in California... Is it really getting that bad? Was it "that bad" during the original gold rush?
