Join Jason, @Danhurd and Brent with @GhostTownLiving they return to the historic Cerro Gordo Ghost Town and Silver Mines on an epic quest for gold! In this thrilling sequel to Jason’s previous adventure, the trio employs a variety of prospecting techniques, including metal detecting, sniping, and gold panning, to unlock the secrets hidden in the rugged terrain.
Armed with stories from old newspapers recounting tales of colossal gold nuggets unearthed from the underground workings at Cerro Gordo, the team begins their journey at an elevation of over 8500 feet! The mountains above the town reveal numerous workings to explore, including the iconic Jefferson Chimney—a structure that exposed solid galena for an astonishing 1100 vertical feet. This was the primary location for mining silver and lead at Cerro Gordo.
Following a preliminary search, Dan delves into the old mine dumps and tailings piles, hoping to discover gold and artifacts that tell the tale of Cerro Gordo’s rich mining history. The team then shifts its focus to the most promising gold location—the wash below town. Here, they meticulously search bedrock cracks, crevices, and employ metal detectors to uncover the elusive gold.
Will the team strike gold in the wash? Could Cerro Gordo transition from a silver mine to a gold mine in its next life? The answers lie within the cracks and crevices of the historic landscape. Stay tuned until the end to witness the exciting discoveries and revelations as the prospectors embark on this thrilling gold-hunting adventure!
