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.

Im a detectorist down in Canon city. have realized it is hard to get permission to get on to some honey holes around these parts. anyway, just making my intro to the forums. :)

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...
