The Santa Rosa Gold Diggers is a not-for-profit group of gold prospectors located in Santa Rosa, California. Our goals are to have fun, build friendships and help each other find gold. Monthly meetings are held on the third Sunday of each month, 11:00 am, at Sports Basement located at 1970 Santa Rosa Avenue Santa Rosa, CA 95407. We cover equipment, techniques, gold history, places to go, and current legal and political issues relating to the use of our Public Lands.
