Hello Rocco,
I don’t know what kind of an RV you have so it’s hard to give any realistic advice. I will be out there in our old 33 foot motorhome but will not attempt to reach the club property in it. I will park on JB’s property about 3 1/2 miles from the WSPA property and commute in my Santa Fe or on my quad. I have spent a lot of time out there in Gold basin and would be happy to discuss the area with you. Just give me a call on my cell phone (702) 271-3362 if you would like to get more info. Just leave a message if I don’t answer I’ll call you back.

You’re right Rich I too wonder. It’s for sure that all the easy nuggets have been found. Living in Boulder City I detect in Gold Basin a lot. Over the last 10 years I probably detected in the new WSPA property area a dozen times, usually I found a crumb or two. The largest I found there was .84 grams. Several years ago (2016 I think) I did see a one ounce plus nugget fresh from the new property ground less than a 1000’ SW of the NW corner sign. It was found with a GPX using a 25” coil. I have no idea what plans WSPA club has (if any, outing or push) for the area. Have you been out on the property recently?

Hi there,
Couldn’t get out to detect today so I have just been sitting and thinking about the WSPA. For fun I guess I’ll write down some random thoughts and post them.
Thank you for posting the new membership list I appreciate the work it took to get that out.
I noticed that I am now listed as a newbie and that’s kind of funny. I joined WSPA in August 2015 and never quit the club.
My wife and I have met and enjoyed so many great people. We still get see a few of our WSPA friends but we sure miss those we don’t get together with.
We miss the outings - lots of really nice people getting together. Detecting, eating good food, having a few drinks, and bragging or complaining. The auctions to raise money for veterans always made me feel good.
I really got a kick out of the “find of the month” contest. All of the finds were fun to see.
I’m going to try and attach a short video to this post. If you can open the video tell me if you would have dug the target. Then ask me and I’ll post a picture of what the target was.I guess that’s enough old guy BS for today.
THANKS

That picture is a couple of years old. It is my brother in law Bills nugget. Like you Fred, I’m still stumbling along. The VA is keeping me going. 😎

Hello John,
Thank you for allowing WSPA to use your property. It’s a great place to camp! I have attended outings there and camped there many times over the years. We have found nice nuggets in several areas on the property. I’ve found a few small nuggets and at least two meteorites within a couple of hundred yards of the campsite.
Once again, thank you.
Dick
