I am new to Colorado hunting but have been all over the state since 1984. I am planning on taking the Summer off and going on a adventure.
The flooding in California has really done wonders for panning since 97 so something in me is tugging to head that way. I have done a lot of research for gems and nuggets over the years for Colorado and thinking I might as well do something i can spend while having fun. My understanding with gems will be knowledge and luck i think. I only hear about 10% of gems that really make any money? I know panning is the same thing but at least you know what you have when you find it and it is the same price pretty much for everyone. I also have 2 dogs going and one is 13 so she does not run the mountain any more so that kind of hurts for the gems a little i think. Any help and info would be greatly appreciated and sorry if this is crude, this is my first post. |

Welcome to the forums dbdweller!
It has been much easier for me to find crystals in Colorado that are worth putting a price tag on as opposed to gold. They both are challenging. I have put much more footwork into finding crystals but the gold work can tough also. Becoming a Club Member helps a lot when looking for places to start. Club Members are meeting up this weekend at a gold claim. Learning to research the lands you wish to prospect is key to finding your own spots that are open for prospecting. Be sure to have a look around. There is lots of good info on these forums. -------------------- |
