Any good prospecting around yellowstone

We are heading to yellowstone instead of colorado because of the fires there and was wandering if you guys could point out some good places to prospect for gold and maybe even some gems around there. Any help would be great. Also if you have some must sees for yellowstone i would love to here about them. Thanks in advance.

Been to Yellowstone over 10 times in my life. Camped in tents, vans, under the stars, popup trailors, stayed in cabins and in Old Faithful Lodge. Every thing there is a must see, dont try to rush, Yellowstone is a huge place, it takes almost a day to drive the loop if you dont stop anywhere for any length of time at all which is stupid since there is so much to see.

Go to Cody Wy and see the Cody Firearms Museum at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, it is well worth the time. also in the basement is a HUGE Indian artifact collection.

The Northeast, East and South entrances are the most scenic entrances followed by the North and West and all are worth a trip but if you cant do all skip the North and west.... Go South to Grand Tetons and into Jackson Hole, you do not want to miss that either... It is a day trip to Tetons at least and you can spend a day in Jackson Hole as well as in Cody with out even trying....

Take every senic road you see on the map, when they say scenic drive, they mean S-C-E-N-I-C.......!
