[QUOTE="snow, post: 291931, member: 1056"] Trapper,spent many years panning for gold,mostly in colorado,near breckenridge,modern gold claims today,folks with claims are very protective,lots of gold found in those hills over the years,infact this area has some of the purest gold in the world called wire gold,but I'm just a weekend warrior type panning,flower gold is common,few nuggets found,however dredging in alaska was alot better,back in the 80's young and dumb,old timer's brought me along to wear a dry suit to dive in streams,as we dredged in denali state park near mt mckinley,we were limited to a 4" dredge but we still did very well sucking up gold in deep stream pockets,today I'm thinking of spending more time panning in colorado now that I'm soon to be retired.Lot's of active gold mines in colorado these days,gotta be mindful as folks with gold claims are very protective of they're claims. Might pick-up a good metal detector and work stream beds in the fall during low water,as we often peeled rock moss off river rocks then burned the moss to pan out gold,lots of work but we always found flower gold just not alot of it.figure I can fish as I hike the streams and work the metal detector,unlike alaska no worries of a grizz sneaking up.
