Vic's gold mine

I'm kind of new to prospecting and I'm taking a vacation to Colorado in few weeks. I was told about Vic's gold mine in Blackhawk, Colorado. I've looked on the Internet and have found very little about it. If anyone has info. I would appreciate it.

I was out there in'09; very friendly folks, a good place to learn to pan. Seems like it was $12-$15 for the day. The owner was Jesse Peterson and, at the time, he was in a fight with Colorado DOT about a highway right of way; I don't know how that turned out. If I were planning a trip, I would Google his business number and see what's up.

The place is very down homey and they do a great job teaching. The gold in the creek there is quite small, you can do better down in Denver for gold production.

If you try the inside river bends on the South Platte or Clear Creek down in the city you will have luck. City parks in the city of Denver, or Commerce city are your easy ways to know you are in a place you are welcome - Grant Frontier Park is popular for example!
