Placerville, near Sutter's Mill, is where the 1849 California Gold Rush began, and today, many people believe there is much more gold there, awaiting discovery.
One day, Charlie a geology professor, and his wife Abby visited Placerville.
While staring into a shallow stream, Charlie picked up a bright, glittery rock. As a geologist, he knew instantly it was gold, worth thousands of dollars.
Gripped by gold fever, they sold their home, and bought a Placerville cabin.
