@PeaceChannel711 Pretty sure Sedona is not a gold bearing area. I been prospecting in north phoenix, wickenburg and prescott for years and never heard of any gold in Sedona. Sorry for the bad news

nobody's gonna get rich digging around yuma, but there's scads of neat places where you can prospect and rockhound out in the beautiful surrounding mountains and desert. then , too, there's cheaper tequila and denstistry in algodones.

As for public lands and prospecting or panning check out the BLM blm.gov/mt/st/en/info/browse/g
old_panning.html Still open to the people... for at least a while longer.

I would use a metal detector, that way you can find nuggets and meteorites.
