There is a famous spot at Palos Verdes. Malaga Cove. Just google it!
If you find little guidance; it's due to people being hesitant to share prime spots with people they do not know.

Join the Searchers Gem & Mineral Society. They are based in Anaheim and have trips most months (mostly in nearby desert locations). I don't think you will find much in Orange County in the way of open collecting areas or great collecting material.

I will check out the cove and see about the g and m society . I guess I thought there were pretty general places to go and didn't think about special spots but that makes total sense!

Orange county like most populated areas of SO CAL has been built over. Lots of good collecting on BLM land out in the desert. Easy day trip range for you. Nice and cool now too. Even wet today.

With the recent rains, if you go out this weekend you might find new, uncovered materials as well.

We have the Santa ana river right across the street and there are a lot of rocks . I'm just not sure if they were dumped or if it's natural. Anyhow I'm gonna go ding into them today just for fun with my wife. I think my wife has been bitten by the rockhound bug. I'll take some pictures and post. Maybe you guys can give me a heads up and tell me what we got out there.
