Gold dredging

[def90]

I would love to get out and try some panning some time. Does the fact that much of the Arkansas is a protected trout fishery effect what you can/can't do to the riverbed?

Also, I was under the impression that the old timers did a pretty thorough job of clearing out all of the placer deposits around the state. Is there really anything left worth pursuing?

Panning on public lands in Boulder county is strictly prohibited and they will ticket you and take your equipment. Total bullshit if you ask me, but they made the law.
