Hey Rookie, I's lookin at a map of yer area, no matter where you go, any known strewn fields are at least a day's drive for ya and would warrant a 2-3 night's camping trip. And Gold Basin is 99% staked gold claims, if yer not a member of a club or don't have a claim there, you might get acused of claim jumpin and nobody wants a gun pulled on em in the middle of nowhere! Because you have NO known strewn fields near ya, the next best place to hunt, would be a dry lake bed, but stay away from national park or natl. rec areas (it's illegal to pluck material from the ground in natl. parks). The nearest dry lake thats a known producer of meteorites thats also just state land is stuart valley on the CA./NV. state line just west of Pahrump,NV. And you wont even need an MD, just an earth magnet on a stick and lottsa water fer drinkin. But ANY state land-dry lake will do and is good bet. Good luck man!
