Are you
coming to Colorado
and would like to know where to go
prospecting, gold panning and find
some gold? There are many
places with many different types of
gold deposits here. Colorado was mainly known as a silver state, (the gold that
runs with it is significant,
however, and we produced more
dollars in gold than silver) but
there are many places open to the
public where gold can be found in
Colorado . Much of it is
small, due to the geothermal
conditions under which gold was put
into the different matrixes, but
this system of putting metals into
rock makes for rare and beautiful
formations. Hot water, and super
heated steam over time can go a long
way to putting gold into many
different conditions. There are so
many places to discuss, that it
could be months before these pages
are finished. We will begin with
the Arkansas River,
our second home. We know it best.
Each area has it's own sub-page, so
click on the area you are interested
in from the menu under the Gold in
Colorado menu button, or click on
your favorite area listed here.

Also, I
have found two links to Camping and
Resorts in Colorado
.
http://www.campcolorado.com
and
http://www.coloradoresort.com
These are not affiliate links for
me, just good info for you.
Here are
a couple of resource links to the
BLM that you might need. The
first is the home page of the BLM.
When you get there, you will need to
click on the state you are
interesting in getting information
on.
www.blm.gov . The
website address for the LR200 is
www.blm.gov/lr2000 where
you can look up claim information
using claim name and range township
and section, and the geocommunicator
can be found at
www.blm.gov/geocommunicator
where you can look up the maps.
ANNOUNCEMENT!
NEW regulations and fee requirements
will be put into effect for the
Cache Creek highbanking area.
You can find information on it on
the
Arkansas River Drainage page .
Well,
folks, run off is here, and we will
be putting up some of the
stream flow information on Colorado
Rivers until run off is over some
time in July. Come back each
week to see if there are any
changes.
