NNG: Gold prospecting in Durango, Silverton and Red Mtn. Pass?
| May 21, 2015 03:30PM |
Hey guys I wanted to shake the forum a little to see if any of you guys have shakin a pan or two in the area's while waiting for the trains. I started this up to get the kids interested in something while I chase. It has been a huge success and well we're heading to DUrango for Memorial Day weekend and I'm taking them to the hot springs in Ouray on Sunday so thought I'd ask here before I headed up. I have to say it's fun as long as you know that more then likely nothing may come of it and the kids wanting to get rich lol.. Any ideas are appreciated.
