There is gold in the Colorado River and in the Dolores River in western CO and eastern Utah. You will have to do your research on land ownership/access of course, just like anywhere.

I'd spend some time with my landmatters.org as the maps will give you a quick view of areas with claims...areas near there may be worth sampling.

I've had some success sampling in the Colorado out that way so I know the gold is there!

Edit: fixed autocorrect error :P

That's a cool site! Lots of stuff on there. Looking at it real quick before I grab my kids from daycare, and have no more quiet time. Definitely need a bit of time to explore site. I wish I would have came across this site earlier. Learning to navigate the lr2000 and not being a computer expert was a pain. Thanks again
