Our 3 daughters had just as much fun as we did! I highly recommend Colorado Gold Camp! We will be back. Thanks again Mr. D!”Paul L”I had a great time! My hands are finally warming up from how cold that river was! I finished panning out my cons and was really happy with what I got! Lots of nice chunky pieces! Every test pan I did had gold in it. I went up and down the river a bit, high ground, low ground, in and out of the water and never had an empty pan!! that rarely happens!! The entire area holds good amounts of gold and I just barely scratched the surface. I’m looking forward to joining the club and getting my share of the yellow!”Marc J.”What a great day! Sure is nice to meet folks with common interest and a good deal of prospecting knowledge. As for the Base Camp area and the Gold, it sure is plentiful!”The Mcklusky’s “To all of you out there reading this, I just want to say that CGC is the real deal. I have never met anybody that try’s so hard to help people have a good time and show them the right way to high bank, sluice, pan or whatever. He just wants people to learn and enjoy. CGC you are a very special person in my books and I really am honored to have met you. Everyone I met from all over the state was willing to help each other. This is a very special group of people. Urb, H2 and the rest of the guys I’ve met this year I want you all to know that you will fit in real nice with this bunch because they are just like you, all willing to help others. Last but not least is the gold. It seems to be all over the place! I did find some chunky stuff in my sluice box. I am getting a membership so my wife can go and enjoy the outings with me. One last thing. CO Sluicer, thank you so much for helping haul all of my heavy equipment back up the hill.”Ron S.”The area was way more than I expected, it’s huge and in a really great location. CGC Miner really knows a lot about gold and this trip was well worth it. I was lucky enough to find the biggest piece of the day, and by far my biggest piece ever!!! I look forward to prospecting with many more great people.”John S.”I was amazed at how much area there is to work. Everything from river gravel,tailings,bedrock and even virgin ground. CGC is very helpul and his advice was right on. The river gravel is loaded with fine gold and the occasional bigger pieces. Every bucket I sluiced had gold big enough that I could pick it out of the ribbed matting with tweezers. I was lucky enough to find a real nice picker and also found another couple of pieces that I could pick up with my fingers. The potential is certainly there for this area to produce some nice pieces of gold. I honestly haven’t found areas in CO that can produce pickers and nuggets consistantly if at all, I believe this one will. Can’t ask for better folks to prospect with. When you have a guy find a nugget then tell you where he found it and to go ahead and dig in the area, speaks volumes.”Demetri L”My brother and I booked a guided trip with CGC and boy oh boy was it a most fantastic experience! Rushing waters, gold, geology and endless excitement! Our 3 daughters had just as much fun as we did! I highly recommend Colorado Gold Camp! We will be back.
