RE: Eldorado Canyon State Park: Part 1

Is there still some gold left to be found? I mean if I went there and kept searching, are the odds in my favor?

You might get lucky if you panned in that stream along the road. Then again, you might spend a lot of time and get nothing to show for it! I think people do still find stuff occasionally, @thebighigg would probably have some good insight on that.

That's cool :)

A good rule of thumb when looking for gold is to look where people have found significant quantities of gold in the past. If you pan in a river that doesn't have much gold you'll be wasting your time.

I see, thanks :)

I know there are some spots in Colorado that people work, but the richest places will have gold claims on them already. Plus there are a lot of places that have almost not gold so you would be wasting your time looking for the motherlode is it there in the first place.

Thanks for the insight! I knew you would be the right person to ask!
