My buddy Andrew was keen for a mountain getaway, and had recently built a custom screen for quickly dry classifying Paydirt into a little wagon. It worked perfectly, and we found some nuggets!
Cache Creek Placer Area is Colorado’s premier public access mining area, located near Twin Lakes and the old mining town of Granite in Chaffee Co.
We decided to go for bigger gold. Colorado pickers and nuggets are rare. There are spots at Cache that produce far more fine gold, but we picked two spots that my testing revealed the chance for bigger pieces. Not as much weight for the total take, but we found our little chunks! Yay gold prospecting.
