谁能想到，19 世纪美国加州淘金热的场景，在 2025 年的今天竟然真的重现了？ 随着国际金价在 2024 年 10 月创下每盎司 4380 美元的历史峰值，曾经只是少数人爱好的 "寻金"，成了 加州甚至全美的热门活动。 有意思的是，连自然现象都成了淘金的 "助攻"。在哥伦比亚州立历史公园，尼凯拉・德洛伦齐家族经 营马特洛特峡谷矿业公司 60 多年，她发现近期游客和设备销量都在涨。原来火灾留下的烧痕区引发水 土流失，沉积物滑落反而暴露了金矿，再加上每盎司超 4000 美元的金价，让淘金成了 "既有趣又可能 获利的爱好"。这座复原的淘金热定居点每月第二个星期六还办 "淘金日"，而附近的 49 号公路串联起 众多淘金遗迹，被称为 "黄金链条公路"，算是延续了加州 "金乡" 的历史。 从 19 世纪的帆布帐篷到现在的社交平台，从原始工具到高科技设备，加州的寻金故事一直在续写。 黄金承载的财富梦想，在金价潮起潮落中从未消失。这场现代淘金热或许不会让所有人暴富，但这份对 稳定价值的追求，确实让平凡生活多了份期待。 有人靠金属探测器挖金补贴家用，有人借卖淘金设备赚得盆满钵满，这股热潮比 1849 年那次还要热闹 几分。 ...

（央视财经《天下财经》）今年以来，国际金价大幅上涨。这股"黄金浪潮"也席卷了美国亚利桑那州， 使得当地的淘金活动时隔百余年再度升温。 在美国亚利桑那州菲尼克斯西北部的一处矿区，当地淘金者协会的成员们最近进行了一次实地淘金活 动。大家使用金属探测器等工具，在广袤的荒野中寻觅着黄金的踪迹。 有协会成员表示，对他们来说，淘金既是一种锻炼身体的方式，也能获得收益，不过他们承认这很难一 夜暴富。一位协会成员展示了他淘洗出的金屑，并大致进行了计算。 美国亚利桑那州淘金者协会菲尼克斯分会成员：我们处理了一桶5加仑（约合19升）的土，得到了这 些。如果能处理40桶这样的土，得到的黄金差不多值100美元（约合人民币711元）。 除了实际开采，这股淘金热还促进了当地旅游业发展。在该州小城——淘金鬼镇，游客们可以体验淘金 的乐趣。 美国亚利桑那州淘金者协会主席 李·凯恩：（金价上涨）驱使更多人出来寻找黄金，这让我们协会不断 壮大，而且发展相当快。 美国亚利桑那州淘金鬼镇导游 凯西·杰克逊：关注金价走势让我们很兴奋。它可能让更多人对此产生兴 趣，吸引更多游客来到镇上。每天带团时，都有人问黄金现在什么价，所以我们的导游每天都会留意金 ...

在群内发布这条消息时，陈斐正"躲"在河边的车里蹲守。他翻着天气预报算准了时间，"下午雨停了， 我就能下河淘金。" 2025年10月，黄金国际现货价格屡破纪录，一度冲上4350美元/盎司。这股淘金热的背后，藏着不少淘 金者没意识到的法律风险。早在2005年，国务院就出台《国务院关于全面整顿和规范矿产资源开发秩序 的通知》。 "我找到几个矿点，肯定能出不少货。"安徽人陈斐为了淘金，毅然辞掉工作，揣着"淘金梦"奔赴重庆。 对此，北京市中盾律师事务所郭聪律师表示，黄金属于国家规定的保护性开采特定矿种。很多淘金者觉 得，在河道淘点砂金只是个人行为，但这种行为已涉嫌违法。 作为一名淘金者，陈斐回忆，那天雨停后，他用手摇设备淘了半天，最终收获约1克黄金，按当天市场 价计算，能卖500元左右。他遗憾地说："要是不下雨，我肯定能淘到更多。" 淘金者："干了几个月，亏得一塌糊涂" 窗外，雨噼里啪啦地下个不停。安徽人陈斐缩在汽车里，手指在手机屏幕上飞快打字，在群里探讨淘金 经验，因为有人在淘金群晒出装着细碎金粒的小玻璃瓶。 陈斐的车内，藏着他的"淘金梦"。后座上，一个矿泉水瓶和铁铲"平躺"在那里。为淘金，他专门找人定 制了"淘金利 ...
