Arkansas river open land, Looking for a spot and the Arkansas river Options

[Goldlane]

What's going on everybody, I am new to gold prospecting and have prospected only a few places about 3 hours east of Denver. I have only found very fine gold flakes. I am interested in going up on the Arkansas river northeast of the royal gorge. I have an app that shows alot of the river there is blm. Does that mean I can pan and sluice there? I want to go to the spot between hwy 50 and the royal gorge. There is a county road 61 that leads right down there. Anybody know of the area and maybe what it's like, gold wise and claim wise? Thank you all, I look forward to starting a lifelong hobby. I have found 4 tiny flakes of gold and that's it... But still now I have gold fever, with no hope for a cure besides getting down and dirty in a river
