Anybody have luck detecting for nuggets north of Las Vegas off either the 15, 95 or 93? There seems to be a bit of BLM ground in that direction with a lot of dry washes most of the year that is accessible somewhat close to private, Native and the DOD off limits areas that I won't mess with.

I might try to do some detecting up that direction but I wanted to hear if others have had any luck in the past.

I been detecting all over around vegas, no gold yet, but i was panning by 93 close to rye patch and found some flakes at lakemead, din not stay i was going to california to the san gabriel river for panning, and ending loosing the lakemead spot. Never was able to find it again. The only thing i remeber it was an abandoned boat ramp. On the west side of the river.
