Hi Placer, good to see you around again and we all hope you have a great time visiting and prospecting around Colorado. Good luck on the possible move to Colorado next year also, it's a great state to live in!
Vic's is a good place to plan for as always, one can usually find some color there. For additional areas if you are a CP club member, you'll want to check the club members researched areas for a sweet secluded spot to get away in. There are some really nice ones! For anyone thinking of becoming a new Colorado Prospector club member you're in luck!  The annual club membership drive kicks off today.

Hi Placer,
Welcome to the club!  You'll be off on running in no time when you get to Colorado too. Got your club membership all activated and your official welcome email should be in your email.Hopefully you get to meet up with some other club members during your trip. You might want to also post up a thread in the protected section about meeting up with some of them for your time frame here. I'm sure there will be quite a few out in the field getting some early fall season diggin' in, might even be some nice color changes in the trees by then. Good luck on the property you're interested in too. -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Hello everybody, although I do not live in Colorado I will eventually. I live in Louisiana and as you may know there are not many digging spots here. I am a very very beginner when it comes to prospecting. I am attending college to be a geologist with hopes that I will learn plenty enough to mine for myself. It is hard to find but I am looking for an answer to a question. Can I actually (mine) or (dig) for my own gems somewhere, perhaps in Colorado?

Welcome!
Yes, you absolutely CAN mine and dig for your own gems in Colorado and you've come to the right place to learn. Colorado is also one of the states where you can still stake and own a mining claim. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Hello All... I've been enjoying this site as a result of my renewed interest in panning and sluicing for gold... Although I'm a retired geologist & hydrogeologist, I have little experience mining for metals as the majority of my work was in hazardous wastes... Now that I have a little more time to travel west I look forward to learning and enjoying this renewed hobby with the assistance of this site and it's members... Many thanks to the folks at CP!..

I am new here and found this site quite interesting so I decided to join. I live in Canon City and basically like to pick up rocks when I go out on my four wheeler. I guess you cannot say I am much of a prospector but more of a rock hound. Over the summer I have picked up around 50 pounds of petrified wood fragments and some leaf fossils just five minutes from my parents house off a four wheeler trail. There use to be a lot of mining for coal in the area, with a few ghost towns around. It is the best of both worlds, I get to go exploring and four wheeling and when I get sore and need to get off the four wheeler, I walk around and pick up rocks.

Hi 400ltz and welcome to the website/forums. Thank you for the kind compliments as well, make yourself right at home browsing the site.
Actually as a "rockhound" you are still "prospecting" or sampling minerals so rockhounding is prospecting if you are sampling anything. Sounds like you've had some nice finds of fossils and you are in a great area for them as well as some other neat stuff. Good luck on your adventures and remember to make sure the land is open where you'll be prospecting/rockhounding ie sampling minerals. If you also decide to join up with the club in the future, we'd all be honored to have your future participation in the club too. -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Greetings and salutations !
We are up here outside of Salida, just about 300 yards from the Ark., I've panned off and on over the years and we are now really getting back into it. I've recently traded for a JOBE 2"dredge without the pontoons ( I needed to go lightweight due to health reasons), I will be fabbing up a bolt-on rail system for the pump, dredge and a future 6' sluice extention onto a 9'10" beat up john boat that I salvaged from a local scrap hauler and use it as a "barge". I'm also working on several other DIY projects related to prospecting, along with all of the other never ending projects, HAHAHAHHAAA. We are self-reliant type people and enjoy being around others that like the simpler things in life. If I can be of service just please let me know, and thank you for having such a great site ! |

Hi Pastor Mike, welcome to the forums
and thank you for the kind compliment on the website.There are many "self reliant" types around here so you'll fit right in, make yourself right at home, glad to have you aboard. Nice spot you have sounds like along the Arkansas river, that's close. Hopefully you have mineral rights with the lot to test a bit on your place too, might find something sweet! Post up some pics of the DIY projects, those are always fun to make and test out and everyone loves to see those projects as they progress around here. For those in this thread interested in the Colorado Prospector club memberships, I noticed there wasn't a direct link to the club memberships on this page yet. You can find those details on the club membership page. We'd all be glad to have your future participation in the club as well. -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

New to the site and looking for some information. I will be taking the family to include my 9 year old granddaughter up towards Mt Princeton next week. Does anyone know of a safe place to have a little fun with a pan for her? I have the equipment. Thanks
