JAFBF Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Really the reason I visited this portion of the site is to bring up some things I had thought about when I lived East of the Mississippi, quite a few years / decades ago. Wondering how long this video will stay up, but nevertheless, live not too far from the Fraser, and have been there several times (not since the CV hoax) and have seen these particular things. Actually, the River not far from me (a couple miles), have things of the same nature - also go Gold Panning there on occasion and never get skunked. No, I don't have the equipment to pull in Nuggets, but Gold and other items are there, and it is a rather enjoyable hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 I always find tons of fool's gold in Colorado. But who knows one of these days I may stumble across the real thing.🤗⛏️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely Gold in CO if you know what / how to ID the signs. The Mountains of CO hold a lot of unique Mineral / Gem deposits - one of the better States to look for these items in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a real pretty rounded multilayered sedimentary rock in the middle of the upper Colorado River which is only about 6-8 inches deep in clear fresh water and maybe 15 ft. across. Rock appears to have been rolling quite a while since it was like an oblong smooth baseball. But about 20 layers of about 1/8 inch or so each. Made the 8 mile RT hike well worth it.

Might be worth a picture If it was round, I might wonder if it was a Geode, don't know if they're found in more oval/oblong shapes though.

Definitely not a geode. Too many layers in it which indicate sedimentary rock only. No room for an inner chamber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
