Anyone been to Elizabethtown area (NM)?

[lceman 6]

Been looking at some of the past producers in NM, and the mines around Elizabethtown are always on the top of the list, but it looks like all of it is now on the Mutz ranch (or on pueblo land). Just wondering if anyone has had any success getting premission to prospect (pan or detect) on the ranch.

Thanks

Nope.

You need to join the Albuquerque club and go to the San Pedro's. Either that or the GPAA and hit Placer Creek. Both are excellent gold locations that are close, accessible and possible for you to get started in the hobby.

The Ortiz and San Pedro placers are excellent. You will find much more gold within 40 miles of your doorstep than anywhere in the Elizabethtown District. Placer Creek is an awesome spot to go and you can share and learn lots of info from fellows who are in your league.
