Welcome to Treasure Net !!
You may wish to check out this book: Nevada Ghost Towns and Mining Camps by Stanley W. Paher.
Interesting that you mentioned Gabbs. IMO that 'town' was never much more than a few hundred people 'back in the day'; and not incorporated till the '40s (1940s, that is). You might have better luck in the nearby gold mine area of Paradise Peak.

While I am not close to you now, I travel to NV 4-6 times per year and would like to tag along if you get any good leads.
Thanks

A few years ago, a big nugget was found in NV, east of Beatty. It ws up in the mountains, but I can't remember the name of the mountain it was found on. It was up there on the edge of the Nevada Test Site, somewhere.

Biggest problem with Nevada is that it is still mining friendly,so the majority of gold bearing ground is claimed up.....mostly by huge Mining Corp's who also patrol them.Research where gold has been found,then research whether its claimed or not
