Vic's Gold Panning?

[RiverGold]

I have been out of Colorado for a couple of years. Is Vic's gold panning still open? Does anyone know if Jessie is still running it? Anyone had any good luck there last year?

Jessie is still there running it for now! the good ole highway department and the city of blackhawk is widening the road and is going to/trying to take all that land through eminit domain! i heard this over on http://www.coloradoprospector.com from Dan S. (MR.CP) i wish i knew 1/10 of what Jessie knows as far as gold proccessing!

I stopped by VIC's last summer and it sure seemed like they we a good bit of the main drag...

Didn't do any mining but just talked to a guy who was real nice...

took a family reunion group out last summer,

Jesse likes a call in advance I have his phone numbers will PM if you want them. Dan at Colorado Prospectors also hosts a page for Jesse.
he does know his stuff..

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Yep, Jessie sure knows his stuff about placer mining. I really enjoy hanging out with him and trying to tap into some of that knowledge. As for the highway and other Eminent Domain plans, he was holding his own against the feds, the state and Blackhawk when I left two years ago. I guess he is still fighting them. I sure wish him luck. I would hate to see another good miner undone by government harrassment.

I have his phone numbers somewhere, but if I can't find them, I might check back with you once I put together more concrete plans for a trip back to Colorado. People here in Vermont are impressed with the pickers I got out of Jessie's hole on North Clear Creek. Not many people get anything but flour gold here in Vermont, though I have seen a few nuggets from Soter's Mine.

Thanks again for the feedback.
