OC49er's is a non-profit Corporation dedicated to promoting gold prospecting through education, and practice along with good fellowship. At the present time we own mining claims totaling hundreds of acres. These claims are both wet and dry. We provide a place for Members to meet, prospect, metal detect and have fun!! The OC 49er’s hold a monthly meeting and biannual outings. We publish a monthly newsletter called the “Golden Aura”. Visit the rest of our site to learn more about the Orange County 49ers.
