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.

Hey Relic, I just recently moved to Ft Collins and use to prospect around Salida area. I haven't found anywhere to go in this area yet that I know is open area. I also have a friend that's New but itching to get out, maybe we can hook up some time. We are planning first trip to clear creek tomorrow(fri) and can't wait.
