Just a little friendly advice in your search for gold. I assume that is your main interest (?).
Have you made yourself familiar with this site? Welcome to Land Matters. When you open the link, click on maps at the top of the page, then click on mining claims on the right side, then click on New Mexico mining claims on the right side of the page. Existing mining claims are highlighted and your best chance to find gold is to search for it close to those claims. There are numerous claims in the north central part of the state above Albuquerque to just south of the Colorado line as well as south and east of there. If your search area is not very near by those claims then the likelihood of you finding gold is greatly diminished....just saying. That said, I love exploring old mine sites and if you find their camps then the detector may yield some interesting results.
Have fun.
