Greetings from Spokane, WA. I have two boys who will be 11 and 8 this year. We prospected last year a little. They had a blast. Looking forward to going out again this spring and summer. Please share any close kid friendly spots. Much thanks in advance. We use a gold cube and a Miller table.

Colorado Land 7553 6
Started by worldavi@gate.net
I was wondering if the south western side of Colorado holds any promising gold This in the area of Route 50 and State Highway 69. I get these emails with land for sale, and thought if it would be able to pickup some cheap enough land in a good area, might make the detecting days much nicer. I would think someone may be familiar with the areas.
