Eldorado Canyon

Not sure of the laws in Nevada since I am from Texas. Wondering if there are any public lands near Eldorado Canyon and if metal detecting is legal

Hi Angie,
Which Eldorado Canyon? There are a few of them.

Same laws as the rest of the west. BLM and Forest Service O.K. but stay away from Historical and Native American Sites.

Lots of Mining Claims Everywhere so do some Research before Venturing out in the hills.

The area I'm talking about is east of Nelson near the Colorado River. I am from Texas so I am not familiar with Nevada laws. Just wanting to make sure that it is legal on public lands and if there are public lands in that area.
Thanks!

Hi Angie,
I am not too familiar with So. Nevada but have heard that the "Lake Mead National Recreation Area" is OFF LIMITS to all treasure hunting, detecting included. Possible Confiscation of your equipment and fines if caught. I believe they won,t even let you coin shoot on the beach.

The area you mention might be inside the border. Extractor and a few others on here live in southern part of the state and they could help you more than me. Hopefully they will chime in here and give you some good info.

Thanks for the help. Hubby and I will be travelling from Flagstaff to Las Vegas and just trying to find a good place to detect legally!
