    Albuquerque or Sante Fe ?

    Is there anywhere near Albuquerque or Sante Fe to pan for gold ? Do you know of the name and location of a creek or canyon in the area where gold has been found ?

    Try the Pecos River above Terrero. Understand there were some old mines and tailings where some color has been found. Even tho it's in the Santa Fe National Forest, there is alot of "private property" so check first and ask permission where needed.

    I believe the Ortiz Mtns are SW of Santa Fe, near Golden and Madrid. Just my 2 cents.
