I think I'm going to take a drive this Sat 7/18 to Grant and try some panning on Geneva Creek up around Guanella Pass. Has anyone tried that area with any success. It looks like a lot of national forest, but I don't know about claims to watch for. Last minute plan, but is anyone interested in meeting somewhere up there to pan/work together?

I haven't been on this site for awhile. Coincidentally I was planning to go to the same general area or around Deckers....

Right now the plan is to go out of Grant on Guanells Pass road and try a few spots along Geneva Creek, maybe along the forest road (119 I believe), hopefully mid-morning. |

I know the general area but never explored it, always going past on my way to the area around Jefferson. Maybe I'll see ya out there. Can't miss my truck, a yellow GMC 4 wl P/U. |

QUOTE (RichDColorado @ Jul 17 2009, 03:17 PM) I'll keep an eye out for you. I drive a Dodge Dakota, maroon color with a topper. Went up Geneva Creek Saturday for the first time. Very interesting. Relatively rugged. Afterward, I found out about the ghost town, smelter, and mine at the end of 119, did not go that far up. Panned a little didn't find anything. Metal detected a little, lots of iron up there. Poking around another mine tailings, found a nice pyrite nugget, a couple of pieces of quartz with metal(silver or gold, very small samples). Found what I beleive to be silver, and what I think might be wolframite. I will go back. I did not have the good fortune of running into Rich up there. But there were a crapload of people up in that mess. I had no idea there would be that many people and trucks all over. A good day all in all, have every intention of camping up there soon. |
