The Wandering Prospector Guidebook now Available!

We are excited to announce the release of the next book in our series. Finding Gold in Colorado: The Wandering Prospector – Volume 2 in our guidebook series. A #1 New Release in its category and a frequent Amazon bestseller, it includes over 340 pages of all new material covering 270 new prospecting sites across Colorado gold country. This book represents five years of research and exploration trips. It also represents the collaboration of many of my fellow prospectors in the Finding Gold in Colorado Facebook group. Without them, many of these prospecting areas might have been overlooked or gone untested.

We are particularly excited to share all of these new prospecting opportunities. Many of them are in regions documented in our first guidebook Finding Gold in Colorado: Prospector’s Edition. There are also five new chapters in this book (with 107 of the 270 sites) covering regions that aren’t in the first book at all. But, to repeat. this is ALL NEW MATERIAL AND ALL NEW DIG SITES! Buy both books and you have all the information needed to prospect at over 450 sites!

Why aren’t all of these new prospecting sites in our first guidebook you ask? Well, aside from the fact that the first book is already almost 500 pages long, many of these new sites needed further research to confirm legal access or to address other issues. The new chapters cover areas that were excluded before because those areas didn’t host a significant gold rush and a gold rush boom town. However, there is gold, so let’s go get some!

Below you can see the map illustrating the general areas covered by each chapter of this new book. Chapters S, T, U, V, and W are all completely new areas although you may recall that Chapters S and T are also in the color photobook Finding Gold in Colorado: Inspiring Images. Can you spot all five new areas on the map below?

Hints: Look for S – The upper Colorado River, T – the Eagle River, U – The Cache le Poudre River, V – The Purgatoire River, and W – The Roaring Fork & Frying Pan Rivers.

How is the gold at these new sites? It is a wide range in terms of both amounts and sizes. Some of these sites were exciting to prospect, others have much less gold, but if you are in the area, will still be fun to explore with your gold pan.

So, grab a copy of the new book here and “Find Your Gold!”
