Easy question. Where should I go? Preferably a spot for dredging and sluicing. A place with no claims and a lot of acres on NF or BLM land.

Hi kino and welcome to CP.
That's actually not an "easy question" given the current river conditions that the state is experiencing. Runoff is epic and impossible to dredge in my region of the mountains right now. You might be able to find a place to work a hand sluice or shovel into a banker, but that's about it until mother nature says so.
You didn't indicate your location or how far you're willing to travel... which may help us answer your question better.



Yes, this is what we all want my friend. Seek and ye shall find.
It's out there... this site is a great place to learn how to locate and legally confirm locations for your prospecting pleasure.
Personally, I enjoy the research.

Well I am willing to go anywhere. Got a 4x4 diesel Jeep Liberty with a better trail rating than a wrangler. Have plenty of gear. Am an eagle scout and have been camping all my life, just hoping to try my luck while I am in Colorado. Thanks for the response there, swizz.

Where are you located?

Las Vegas. I am planning to be in Colorado in a month or so. Anywhere in CO.

id start now studing/printing the laws for Colorado so youll know what/where you can do your thing! also look up current claims locations so you wont tresspass on a valid mining claim and ruin your trip!
