Any prospectors on the board?

I find gold every time I go, but it's hard to weigh flakes so small.

I have 8 acres up by Cripple Creek that has a what appear to be a couple of test holes. If anyone would like to come and look around and tell me if I maybe sitting on a gold mine that would cool.

Do you have a mining claim or own the land with the mineral rights?
Recreational seems to be okay, but you may have problems with commercial usage.

Own the land no mineral rights just really curious if there is anything there.

I would be interested in looking at it sometime. I could tell by a Google Earth aerial photo of the likelihood of a precious metal discovery. I can do a basic fire assay too. It would interesting to search the area with a metal detector too. Feel free to PM me.

My wife's family mines recreationally with heavy equipment. Have a lot of claims around Lake George. No gold just Smokey quartz and amzanite crystals. They have had pockets worth over 50,000. Colorado in that 30 square mile area is the only place in the world you can find those two crystals formed with each other. At least that's what the rock nerds tell me.

This made me think of the Prospectors TV show, as Lake George and the Dorris family were on it.

I think I was a miner in another life.

They were approached to do the same show but turned it down. I think they wanted to keep it something they enjoy on the weekends.

My great grampa and another guy had two gold mines in the Cripple Creek/Victor area back around 1905. I have always wondered where exactly they those mines are located. I do have some of their old records.
