Panning for Gold in 8 Arizona Rivers

 I found a great article about 8 rivers in Arizona where gold has been found. An explanation of location is discussed for each of the rivers.

Panning for Gold in 8 Arizona Rivers

As many may know, Colorado ranks second in the race for gold in the United States with only California ahead of it.

So it is reasonable to expect that with the Colorado river flowing through it, gold can be found in Arizona and Nevada at the river.

The early miners who struck it rich did so at the mouth of the Colorado in the Grand Canyon.

One location, Temple Bar on the Colorado River north of the White Hills, provided prospectors with

the yellow stuff. 

A lucky few folks were able to find coarse gold in the Black Canyon quadrangle which is near an outer bow of the Colorado River. Notice the area south of Henderson, Nevada.

Gold, moderately course, was discovered about 2 miles north of Pyramid Rock. It is claimed that finely distributed gold in the sand bars opposite El Dorado Canyon on the Arizona side of the Colorado River may be found.

Readers are warned: Note: Some areas of the Colorado River might be off-limits due to special designation. Old placer diggings may now be covered by various reservoirs.
