With the winter months upon us, it's time once again for fun in the desert sun.? 

I spent a few days in northern Nevada en route to the big Q and managed to collect a half an ounce of golden goodies from old nugget patches with the trusty Zed. Where the damp alkali soil became too noisy for High Yield / Normal, selecting Extra Deep / Normal did the trick. At other locations, iron mineralization was the culprit and the High Yield / Difficult combo was the answer.

Good luck down under!

Indeed, Red Dirt Digger; northern Nevada is known for crystallized gold nuggets, referred to locally as  chevron gold.
