Yes, there is still plenty of gold to be found in the streams of California. Do not expect to casually go out and pan big nuggets. If you are able to get a claim, and use a powered dredge, (where legal!) or a metal detector, you can still find decent gold. With the recent rise in gold prices, some very hard workers are apparently even able to make a living with one man dredging operations, but it's brutal work and there's no guarantee.
