[rubinscube]

just wondering why the public locations available with membership are so far away from my location, it seems that gold would be right up in them thar hills west of colorado spings area. this is not meant to be a sniveling post , I was just surprised at the "grouping" of locations givin, are public gold placer locations very rare in CO?

Thank you guys for your input.
Actually rubinscube, from Colorado Springs there are quite a few areas researched within 2 hours drive. Those would be the ones in Park, Summit and Chaffee counties. As Coalbunny said, there are only Mrs.CP and myself who deal with things for the club and website, and some of the research is compiled over extended periods depending on how much research can be finished with the resources on hand at that time.
That's also why we list the counties researched areas are in on the club membership details page as well, so folks have a general idea where the researched areas will be in relation to their home base and or travels through the state.

The best thing about membership in the Colorado Prospector club is, we want to help you learn how to apply this information and techniques to any places you'd personally like to check out. There is alot more open land in Colorado and it's spread all over the state. Yep some even will be found really close to Colorado Springs and can be intertwined within private, state, or county, city or town properties. Learning how to determine not only where those lands are, but how to find out if they are open or claimed......that is the name of the game when prospecting.

Placer gold deposits are not uncommon in Colorado as history has shown us, but the fact is, when near or in a well known area that has produced, the research becomes alot more intensive.

Being that this is only the clubs 7th year since it's conception in 2003, I think the areas researched are building up nicely and we will add more areas in other counties around Colorado as we can and resources allow.

Hope this helps clarify and feel free to post up any more questions if needed too.
Stay safe out there and good luck prospecting everyone.

I will be sure to post new areas I find west of Colorado Springs, unless that is poor etiquette, still new so not sure. I have found some old books here in the collectors library in Colorado Springs that suggest panning areas less than 10 minutes away (#1 & #2 arrow) , so here it is:



sorry for the quality, I was only allowed to photograph the book with my cellphone.


ps: any tips for a desert fox?
