El Paso County Colorado

Colorado Springs

I used to live in Colorado Springs and I have found gold northwest of Colorado Springs by 6 miles at Blair Athol in the foothills. Most of the area gulches contain some placer gold in the gravel deposits. Also if you go southwest of Colorado Springs, via Gold Camp Road (beautiful drive in autumn) to the St. Peter's Dome district there were many old mines that produced lode gold and you can usually find placer below them.
