Excited!!!

Hi all!
Just ordered a 30" BGT Prospector and am anxious as all get-out to be able to go out and play! I have had a 30" Gold King for 30+ years, paid $29 for it back in the day and have recovered quite a lot of gold with it - darn good investment! Hopefully the Prospector will pay off like my Gold King.
Have a great day.

Excellent choice, great tool for getting the gold!

I'm sure it will 3X! What part of the state do you prospect in?

I spend my time in Western Arapahoe County, elsewhere in metro Denver, up clear creek canyon....and in summer, somewhat in Summit and Park Counties.

Hi Kevin,
I'm in Golden so I spend a lot of my time on Clear Creek and in areas have done well. I read your thread on making your wife a ring-+/-20 years ago I'd recovered enough gold to have our wedding rings made with my gold! I have explored around Summit County (found my only nugget with a MD there on French Creek!) and several areas on the Arkansas R too. Clear Creek is nice because its in my backyard and I am able to go in the evenings after work. I need to get down to the panning area at I70 and Youngfield to see what goodies might be lurking there. I also want to check out the areas along the Platte. I haven't spent much time in Park County but that is on my list to research and explore. For the last couple of year life has gotten in the way of my treasure hunting pursuits so hopefully it will remain relatively calm so I can play with my BGT.

Glad to hear you live close to a gold bearing creek, that's one thing I just love about living in Denver too! This time of year when the days are long, I go to local creeks near my house many times a month. Congrats on making rings yourself, very romantic of you! ...sounds like you have many years of experience on me (not worthy!)...still I can point you at the gold on CC in the Arapahoe Prospecting Park. It's a fun spot as are so many others around town

FYI - I got enough gold in town over the winter to pay for a 30" prospector (almost exactly in fact) so I think you can do very well this spring and summer... heavy pans!
