With 270 newly described unclaimable, public access, prospecting sites across Colorado, this book will give you a reason to bring a pan with you wherever you go across our beautiful state! A #1 bestseller on Amazon for the couple months it was out, this book has proven very popular with the Colorado prospecting community.
The Wandering Prospector has the same chapter structure as the Prospector's Edition, with new content for all of the chapters covered in the first book and five new chapters covering new regions of the state not covered in that prior book. Those new chapters include over 100 prospecting sites between them. Many of the chapters discussing areas also covered in the first guidebook have more prospecting sites than are in the first book! If you have a copy of Finding Gold in Colorado: Prospector's Edition, you will love this one too!
To be clear, there is no repetition between this book and the first one in the series (Finding Gold in Colorado: Prospector's Edition) so you need them both to have all the prospecting sites and travel information an experienced prospector will want.
