Huell Howser explores California Gold - sites and people of interest throughout the state - in this KCET Public Television series. Once a mainstay for Native Americans in California, the abalone has been driven to near extinction. This program visits an abalone shell midden at Point Lobos, a Japanese American abalone cannery, a dive for abalone in Monterey Bay in a 1930s diving suit and schoolchildren preparing and tasting a little bit of this shellfish.
