The Dale Gold Mining District is located about 15 miles southeast of Twentynine Palms, Miners started coming as early as 1881 when reports of gold in the Pinto Mountains went out. By its peek production period in 1898, there were as many as 3,000 miners chasing the Gold within the district.

The Area has a lot of Private Gold claims that are owned by Groups and clubs in the Area, by joining one of these groups, Especialy the locaL ones, should get you some great info on the history of the area and where the gold is being found today.
