A 1964 bottle of Diet Pepsi found in Breckenridge Colorado.

Hello! I recently purchased a claim in northern Colorado and I found this late in the season. Most of the stuff I find is hematoid (ferruginous) quartz crystals, and this is no different, but this thing is so unique and special I can't find any similar examples online. From what I read, it's not...

chungkey is a game and this is a game piece they used. Right?! Interesting. I found it in the sw Colorado mountains. A game local to Tennessee, Georgia Illinois and Missouri. Chahokia regions. I just am more sure than ever that I am near an old trading post? The saga continues. What do I do with...

So I’ve been researching this story thoroughly, they’re on the run with vigilantes on their tail, run around mount Logan through Geneva gulch and a horse dies, then they go to the headwaters of deer creek, see an old mine shaft and hastily bury the loot, and stabbed a knife into a dead tree to...

I just found this interesting stone in the mountains of Colorado above Fairplay. Looks to my amateur mind like the broken head of an old club. Any thoughts from those with more experience and knowledge? Thanks! Photo shows a standard paint can opener for scale - only thing available at the moment!

I've been off the grid for a long time, but bound this pendant in a volleyball pit yesterday. Just like one that Bomber posted in 2010! - except mine is silver. Just good to find some unfrozen ground in Colorado in January!

I got this as a gift a few days ago I can't say I've seen anything like this before any ideas on what it is?

I'm headed to the Purgatoire River and Spanish Peaks Colorado to camp, fish, backpack, and hike. More importantly I will be prospecting that area. Does anyone one have any info?

Last week I purchased 5 acres of land out near Blanca Peak, close to the Colorado/New Mexico state line. It was not until after the purchase did I look up the area and realized that the county, Costilla County, was the first county in Colorado. If anyone has any information on the area, I...

Any Colorado residents here? I have no experience with Colorado but will be there next week with my son. (20 miles south of Breckenridge, Jefferson County) Does anyone have any ideas for potentilal sites there ? We saw some "Ghost town" sites but it look like it's illegal in Jefferson...

Yesterday I hunted a couple of empty lots where there used to be houses and I found these two items, but I had no idea how cool they were till I cut them cleaned up and did some research. The first I believe is a coal miners identification tag issued by "The Victor-American Fuel Co.", which in...

Pre-dawn front lawn metal detecting. This was my 4th target! I know it is late 19th to 20th century, no mark, but red paint on back, The only thing I found online associated with red paint and army button was D. EVAN'S & CO... who knows? The target was 3 to 4 inches deep in front of the train...

I have worked for the owners of the Depot in Pueblo since 2014. I have been metal detecting for a week, and already have the fever to hunt. Today I plan on asking permission to metal detect the property. My family lived in Pueblo since the 1800's. In 1943 my grandfather left for WWII from this...

So I am new to this site and to metal detecting. I started affordable with a Bounty Hunter II on sale at Big5. I gathered metal samples of different sorts for practice. Spent an afternoon finding targets in my side yard, then moved on to a nearby park/nature trail. There have been historical...

While researching a treasure lead tonight, I came across this interesting article. The author is in the process of writing a book about some Colorado history and he gives some very good information about and photos of KGC treasure signs and symbols in the article...

Hi all, I am looking to take my fiance up to BlackHawk to put our new sluice to use! Does anyone have any good spots that they would recommend? We live close by so if not right in BlackHawk that is fine surrounding areas are fine too!

A few years ago, my father went turkey hunting and found this and gave it to me and I've always wanted to know what it is. He was in colorado springs, colorado. If you shine a light on it, you can see it go through on the edges. Its pretty sharp and slightly curved inwards on each side. Sorry...

Hey all - new to the forum, the state of Colorado (moved this week), and this hobby =D Found a shop in Idaho Springs selling some prospecting gear. I've wanted to give this a shot for a while so looking forward to seeing if I can find anything. Not sure how many CO folks are here but current...

New to Treasure Net and prospecting - Great to see how people on this site share info and help each other. I live in Littleton and am interested in meeting people that are willing to help a newbie learn the ropes. Have most of the basic gear now including a 36" bazooka sniper. Was hoping to buy...

Hey everyone, I just got back from the Denver GPAA Gold Prospecting and Treasure show. I bought a nice little piece of cleanup equipment for the fines that I tend to get where I'm located. It comes with an Attwood Tsunami T-500 bilge pump ( Tsunami T500 GPH Bilge Pump : Attwood Marine )...

Google Earth is my best friend. Love looking at old maps and stories about communities that once thrived and are now lost. By Lost I mean you can't find in your car. Nothing visible from the road even across flat land. You know something is out there but all landmarks, structures etc are gone...

Found this cool site and decided to become a part of the magic. I've been digging for a few years as a not too serious hobby and i just moved to Colorado so i may run across a few things i an unfamiliar with.

Hi, Looking for some advice if possible. I found out from the local news that the Boulder County Sheriff is shutting down access to Boulder Creek for flood repair that includes dredging the bottom of the river. I have approximately 25 acres of claimed river in the exact area that the county...

Hello all! I'm wanting to take a trip out to Colorado from St. Louis, Missouri this summer. I'm still new to gold prospecting. I've only panned for gold one other time on a short trip in Arizona. I didn't find much, but had blast looking. Anyway, are there any good public locations for...

I've been out panning and sluicing in Colorado for a few years now. I'm perfectly happy finding my flour gold and small specks in my cons from my usual spots, but I was wondering if anyone else in CO has found bigger gold. I've heard that there might be some places where more pickers are found...

I've been in a wheelchair for 12 yrs from MS, and I just starting walking again, I'm looking for arrowheads and exploring, having fun, but not finding anything. All the places I used to look have had sooo much traffic over the years, I can't even find a single chip of flint. Alot glass from...

I found a nice pocket in the South Platte River a few days before all the recent rain and so forth began, and now I can't access it due to all the nasty stuff floating around in that water at the moment. Does anyone have any idea when or if it will be safe for me to work said deposit again? Also...

There are over 300 agricultural ghost towns in Colorado. Maybe the first stop in the West for settlers and others looking for a better life. The Eastern plains of Colorado was temporary homes for many. Would be farmers and ranchers, settlers and whomever stopped to check an area to see if it was...

This summer I'm going to Beaver Creek Colorado, and I am wondering if anyone has prospected for gold there; Any Success? If so, Where? I've heard there are some mines by Mont of Holy Cross - Thanks

This is the type of great western photo that an amateur can buy very cheaply. I sold a similar copy of this for 25$. That is not a bad price to get a photo like this. You can do a tremendous amount of research on a photo like this, and you get great practice to see the original cards and how...
