RE: My Colorado Adventure with @artopium

in #travel6 years ago


I can not believe it!! can gold still be found in those parts ??? it's an amazing thing, really it's like going back in time and bringing the nuggets to the bank to get some money to spend on your dinner !! but are many people doing this? and the equipment you used is specific or did you do it?
second thing I have to tell you that going with the van is one of my dreams !! sooner or later I have to do it !!
beautiful photos, thanks for bringing us with you on this great adventure. do you live nearby?
congratulations for your curie rating and thanks for sharing :-))hi @derekrichardson

Haha, yep! Gold can still be found in spots all over Colorado. I'm actually living in California, I was just visiting Colorado, but we got lots of gold here in California as well! The prospecting equipment we used is pretty basic. Pick axe, shovel, 5 gal bucket, sluice box, and a gold pan. And that's it!

it's absolutely fantastic! but is this search for gold also used for tourism purposes? sorry but I find it amazing !!

It's used for tourism a little bit, but it's not that big of a thing. Not that many people are into gold prospecting.

but I absolutely want to try when I go to colorado !! :-)) can I use your van???
