Exploring and sampling in metro Denver

[KevinInColorado]

I prowled along a half mile of Little Dry Creek in suburban Denver with a pan after work today. Found gold in a couple spots...very tiny but still fun since the location is not documented.

Nice. Really like the coin.

Ya me too, it's a 1/10 ounce US from my fatherinlaw. He got it for us when gold was under $300/oz. it's about the size of a dime so I use it for scale and of course bling!

I have a 1914 $2 1/2 gold coin my wife found in a parking lot about 30 years ago and gave to me. She thought is was just a pretty token and carried it around in her purse for about two weeks before she gave it to me. At least she wrapped it in tissue. It is in about MS 60 condition. My favorite treasure.

Must be nice having gold so close!

It is! This spot is less than 2 miles from my house!


But then there is gold all over metro Denver so my spot's not that special!
