I.m looking for good info. from gold hunting hobbiests in Nv. that actually hunt gold today. My friend bought about 40 acers near Dayton NV. He is by comstock,gold hill area. He only recently started looking around last week. He took his lap top with him and was able to show me live feed of it using a web cam. There is old iron stove parts ,etc. laying around the mouth of the horizontal mine hole.The mine is about 5 and a half feet high by about 5 ft. wide and is dug back about 100 ft. or so.Lots of old broken bottles etc. that shows there was a camp there back in the day. He followed an old dried up creek bed that led straight up to the mine. We want to go with metal detectors and “dry sluice” and look in and around the old mine for gold that could still be there. I am currantly researching as much info. as I can on line about gold,that area of NV. etc. We are looking for very solid advice from some old timers that could help us in maximizing our efforts.
