      • Larry,

        Arizona is good for the winter, that's the season there for prospecting, mostly metal detecting, do you own a gold detector?

        Here are a some links to forums for Arizona and metal detecting if you haven't visited these forums yet it is a great place to start....

        Minelab PI metal detectors are the best to use, but you may get by with a VLF, Fisher's Gold Bug 2, White's GMT, or Tesoro Lobo Supertraq are the better ones to use.

  • Sorry for your loss. Lost my Dad some years back.

    There are a lot of accessable places to prospect in the fall.
    A lot of gold is still being found below 5000' elev. Chilly, but not too cold.
