Looking for a (Labor) Paid Guide Near Breckenridge 7/12 to 7/15, Gold/Fossils...Geology. Stratification. Love it all. Options

[OkieCoyote]

First off, I'm a petroleum engineering student at TU (I'd go to CSM but I can't afford the cost of living!) that really appreciates the geologic aspect. But I'm from Oklahoma...only thing anybody ever rushed for here was free land! I tried finding a nice deep eddy in a deep canyon creek in NE OK and got heavy black sands but nothing shiny, but the geologic surveys didn't indicate much. I'm as amazed as the cashier at the tool outlet that they carried mining pans!

This time I want to come home with some flakes. Not expecting to find a nugget, I just want to find some. I'm open to panning, sluicing, whatever, and I'm a big guy, I can carry equipment. But a "guided tour" would be appreciated and compensated. Please reply or message me.

Thanks

I'd be glad to take you out somewhere, but I'll be out of state during that time.

If you're hoping for a "nugget," Colorado isn't a likely destination to deliver for you lol We've got lots of fine gold and a fair amount of pickers, but not a lot of "nuggets." For most of us stream sluicing, a good day is getting a gram or two.

Aw, well I appreciate it but too bad that timing won't work out!

Honestly I just want a few flakes that I can say I found myself, I wouldn't expect to find a nugget even if they were known to be found in the area regularly! I don't go to casinos or play the lottery either. . .my luck isn't that good lol, so I've learned to rely on persistence.
