You can pan for gold in the hotel parking lot or better yet on the river
A broken leg handicapped me when I tried but I hope to go back one day
We went to an old mine on the side of US 550 and walked through some tailings. We found several samples with “color”- galena, sphalerite, covellite, and the dreaded pyrite. There appears to be some elemental silver in some of the samples and maybe some of the color is gold but I need to use my microscope at work to determine so. My eyes are too bad to see if they are cubic crystals or not. My sons developed a case of gold fever. If we would have had more time, I would have liked to have panned. When I was a kid, we did some near Pagosa Springs and my dad still has a little jar with some gold in it.
