I moved here three months ago and know the river flowing through the ranch has GOLD! I've only just started prospecting and need some help out here. There is ancient river rocks everywhere, signs from the late 1800's where the miners hand panned a section of the river. I've taken several test pans and I get fines and some flakes but I get from 3 to 10 of those in every pan at less than a foot deep. PM me if your interested in sharing some knowledge and you'll get to look for gold where nobody has in a hundred years on private property.

It'll be later in the summer before I can come but I'd love to help if you still need a hand at that point :)

Make sure you let me know when your about to be in town. I'd love to have some company that knows what to look for. There is gold in every single pan I take and I'm not digging more than 6". It's small but you can certainly see it. It's only a matter of time before I find the elusive "pay streak".

It's 550 acres and its beautiful. I couldn't ask for anything better while getting rich....slowly and I mean very slowly.

Well that didn't work. Another option: join the "finding gold in Colorado" group on Facebook and ask there.
