Father and Son need info on finding Gold at Summitville Colorado

[Happy22]

We have a dredge and an ATX Metal detector and are going to Summitville Colorado next week. Can anyone tell me where we could go to find some gold near Summitville? Is there a specific creek and location that we could have some luck finding gold? I appreciate any help.

Thank you so much for the information, awesome stuff for future trips!

Is there anyone that can give me a personal experience of where I can find a boat load of gold near Summitville or anywhere else: I mean anywhere at this point? I was just in Summitville yesterday, what a place to be! There is gold everywhere, I am sure! I know there are places that have big gold, but you have to have knowledge of where the untapped gold is... Just like everything else in this crazy world. So, just asking for a little clue or something that can lead us to success. My son and I are ready to work hard and find the rainbow man! Looking for a gold rich claim that we can work.......

This was a really awful reply and what a dumb question! I would never hop onto someone else's claim, what a thought and accusation from you. What a waste of time...

Wightman creek is the major one but tough to access.I have spent a lot of time up there years back stay away from the main mine site. They patrol it regularly because it is a super fund site and did not appreciate anyone going on the property. The weather can change on a dime up there because you’re above 10,000 feet. So be careful and have a good time lots of country to explore.

I didn't take his post that way at all. I "assumed" he was asking for any info for him & his son ,as to where /who would want to share their claim and what would be the usual cost for doing so !

Good luck to you and your son. Have a good forth of July.

I hope you are able to strike a deal with a claim owner there and you find too much gold to carry and that the claim owner has difficulty handling their share at whatever rate you negotiate with them.

Sorry I didn’t see this sooner. Most of the Wightman Fork downstream of the Summitville mine site is unclaimable and open to casual prospecting. All the details on legal access are in my first guidebook www.findinggoldincolorado.com/buy-the-book/

You have spent time up at Summitville Kevin.

Yes indeed. And found gold too!

The geology and mineralization of that area is spectacular. I bet there is still a lot more gold to be found up there.
