so ive been told there are some smaller nuggets here in colorado and im itching to find one(or two or three).
got the little DD coil for the mxt and been around some mine dumps but no gold. not that i was really expecting to find any but hey ya never know right?
found coins and lots o junk but i want to dig nuggets.
i know people generally wont give away their locations and i kinda chuckle when people on here ask where to go but here i am asking.
where can i find nuggets in colorado?
walking along the gold bearing rivers would seem a no brainer. but where to start? ive heard idaho springs area is good.
what about dry gulches? the ones that were worked back in the day. though most are private property now.
anyone point me in one of the right directions?
in the meantime i'll try to find more info online.
thanks!

I spend time up in the tincup district as much as I can. It's a massive area that could take years to cover it seems. There is gold, but getting to it is the hard part.
I'd recommend a long trip for tincup and the Taylor park area if you came here. It's such a big area with so many possibilities. Just travelling around up there is a job in itself. Alot more work could be done in a day camping for a.week.
Ive barely scratched the surface so to speak hehe.
