question for all you Arizona guys


Recommended Posts

I live in the California motherlode. Taking a little vacation at the moment in the Tucson area. Been out exploring around in the beautiful desert. Man,cant believe how much shallow and exposed great looking bedrock there is! My question is basic...is there alot of good gold in this area?? Havent seen signs of prospecting yet. Just curious. Ray

Good luck!

Not much gold in the immediate Tucson area. Small nuggets found at thew base of "A" mountain. Some placer gold in Canada del Oro in North Tucson. A little gold around Oracle.

Greaterville (45 minutes South) is your best bet for nugget hunting.
