Hey guys, I was hoping some of you were meeting up sometime in June around Northern Colorado or close to Denver for some panning. I have been panning a few times and have had very little success. I did find a little gold but it was probably more lucky than good. I would love to tag along and learn how to correctly pan. Let me know if anyone is going out for a half day or a day. Thanks.

US 6 through Clear Creek Canyon is where I've been going. Steady flour gold available (although pickers have been seen), and a few of us meet up at the big sign near mile marker ~260. There's usually a rafting bus/van/truck there hanging out as well. I was there Friday, Saturday and Monday. If I know you're coming, I'll bring my sluice. They can be a bit tricky to setup in the high water though.
