The gold in metro Denver is in almost every waterway big enough to have a name. In the early days of the gold rush this was confusing and frustrating for the first American prospectors. They found gold way out southeast in Elbert County, due south of what's now Denver in Douglas County and right in downtown Denver. Of course that's why Denver is where it is! [ 679 more words. ]
