Well, hi, sorry none of us CO folks saw your note earlier. There isn't much panning in the CO Springs immediate area. You'll do better going up to Point Bar or Cache Creek (do a search on those names on the BLM web site). Another option is to drive up to metro Denver...there's gold in both the South Platte thru town and Clear Creek.

For all these places it's pans and sluices only, no powered gear. Dig where it's wet (only) and please clean up after yourself so we continue to be welcome in city parks and open space areas thru Denver.

PM me with specific questions...
