    Mt. Seagull just east of Minden south of Reno and Carson city would be the place that I would recommend. I have gotten some nice course gold there drywashing and I know others have gotten some nice nuggets there. The place that is difficult to get to is Cooper's mine on the summit. The last 1/3 mile of road is anything but a road. Get a Delorme Atlas and it will give you directions to it....jim

    Jim--great information--I wish I'd have had it last time I stopped in Reno. Most generous of you to share those tips.

    All the best,

    East on Highway 50 just before the rise by the golf coarse is Brunswick road on the south side,hang a right and left when ya hit the Carson River and many 100's a miles of roads,trails,old tailings and such. At the trestle over the Carson is good gold and up Brunswick rocks. Virginia city Highlands has produced some great gold and chinese artifacts. Stay away from Carson canyon west a town as CC get some water from there and THEY THROW A FIT when your there,long story,so please watch out. Up stream from Dayton are some decent placers but huge factory built,and abandoned(yet another long story) and they bulldozed ,tore,and reshuffled immense amounts of gravels there also. There are the Lahonton placers and the Pyramid placers but STAY OFF INDIAN LANDS as you are a victim there bigtime. Tiny amounts of gold west a reno at Fued,upstream and the truckee too but small ,few far in between.Your in essentially a hardrock gold/silver area but out in the desert are many decent spots.Blackrock desert rocks bigtime but dangerous. Go to state mineralogy/geology dept and buy the book"Mines and Minerals of Nevada" and your golden -educate and prosper and tons a au 2 u 2-John
