Hello all, new to the forum here. Live in Fort Collins and grew up in Montana in the 1970's and 80's and regularly prospected for gold and sapphires. I have recently gotten back into prospecting for gold and purchased an Angus MacKirk sluice. I took it out the other day to 7 mile creek in the Manhattan area. I ran eight 5 gallon classified to half inch buckets from a couple of locations. Tons of black sand, but not much in the way of color. Anyway, look forward participating in the forum and learning some tips and tricks.

Welcome to the forums! It would be great to see you out at Clear Creek sometime. A few of us on here are looking for our own claims, and CC has a pretty steady supply of flour gold.
