Prospecting
Anyone in the Reno or Carson City area up for some drywashing? I got a place to dig, equipment, truck, and my dog.
 
A very generous invite
 
since im new here figured id provide a little more info.

have around 100 acres of virgin ground to dig out of 160 acre claim. 3 nice dry washes running through it. found gold every time out last summer.

using handmade hand crank trommel/classifier. large royal drywasher. gold cube. whites GMT.

fairly remote area, definitely no water available. went out sat but still to much moisture for good recovery.

would like to find someone who can help read the land to maximize the sampling efforts.

If no one turns up here try the Reno Gold Prospectors club: GPAA of Northern Nevada Reno - Home

President: Larry Robbins Phone: Cell-(775) 842-7244
email: larryrobbins@gpaaofnorthernnevadareno.com

I called Larry when I was out there last year and he put me on the gold at one of their claims. Pretty sure he can help you find someone from the club.

Tough area for any gold of size. Black Rock Desert,Lahonton Placers,no mining Carson River anymore ,VC Highlands private same as 6 mile. Stay outta Carson City canyon west as water used by city and when they come you will NOT be happy. Placers upstream from Dayton and way out towards Fallon. Reno Prospectors used to be a decent club back in the day but no recent contact?John
 
it is my claim and its in a known placer mining district in the area that is still active. no nuggets to date but definitely some pickers and course gold
