Any prospectors on the board?

[DFBrews]

Tis almost the time of year where it is warm enough to get out and look for some gold. Anyone else prospect recreationally?

[GlockDog47]

Never have but I would like to give it a try....

I've got some pans. With my skills it's more of an exercise in cooling off than finding gold.

DF, send me a text. I have questions.

I've been thinking about getting into this for a little while now but haven't got around to it...

COAR 15 panning party anyone?

I heard some big nuggets have been found around the tailing piles of Fairplay. They were found with a metal detector. I spent a whole summer high banking on the Arkansas near Granite got about a gram of dust and a tiny nugget the size of a BBmixed with quartz. I almost bought 14 acres along the Arkansas river last year, the property sold for $40k. I was going to dredge it. If you are serious about placer mining a dredge is the only way to go. I have seen some nice crystalline gold come out of Farncomb Hill near Breckenridge. The Farncomb gold was found with a metal detector.

I have a mining claim above Idaho Springs, but have never done any prospecting. Mostly it's just my little hideaway. There is a little (very little) stream that runs through it in the summer, and I've thought about monkeying around with a pan. Maybe that'll be this years' project...

Need to swap out the motor ib my trommel but other than that my equipment is ready from last year.
