Gold areas in Arizona

[goldhat]

Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of gold being found in Northern, AZ. Mainly around Flagstaff, Williams, Seligman areas?

If gold is where you find it I'm wondering if these areas have potential at all.

Although I have never been to Arizona, I can't see why there wouldn't be gold there. There is only one way for you to find out.....

Prospect any and all areas!



I don't know which counties are where in your state, but I found these from a website that lists locations.

Thanks everyone for the great info. Glad to be able to chat with folks who have been in the trenches prospecting instead of just relying on search engines and the sort.

thanks again,

Goldhat, I live in Florida, but was in AZ last year on vacation and checked in to gold hunting there. Lots of places to do it, and lots of old gold and silver mines there. That is one of the things I plan on doing when I retire in a few years, I plan on retiring in that area...........

Sorry I couldn't hellp you more..................

Just make sure your not on someones claim while prospecting. Unless it's yours, it could be dangerous.

"Claim? Claim? he don need no stinkin claim" so we shoot him !heheheh

However, securing permission to play in previous claims cuts down on the demand for rope or ammunition.

excellent advice, often overlooked seamuss.

Don't forget to make sure it's nice piece of boild hemp stretched to eliminate coiling... it's gotta be fast

Gettin' back to the post. If your prospecting in a volcanic area with lava rock etc does that rule out gold?

Hey Treasure Hunter, Did you ever more out to Arizona? How's the detecting going?

There is no gold in most of Northern Arizona. The exception would be the Northwest corner of the State. Here's a map that shows where gold has been found and mined historically.
