Arky Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Which club are you looking at? If the Quartzsite Metal Detecting Club, their claims get hit hard, but a few nuggets keep being found. I've had some success on those claims, but it is pretty slow going. Let us know a bit more as I know a number of forum folks have detected the area.

mn90403 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 GPAA has claims there and open land is around also. If you are new to detecting and need some help you might want to look up Bunk. He is a bit south of Quartzsite. Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/21149-quartzite-az-2023/#findComment-225228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyo85 Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 Quartzite Metal Detecting Club is the claims, member ship is only around $20 for a year . Was going to try my NM Legend out for gold , I was also thinking about picking up a NM Gold Kruzer before I leave. Can a guy find some washes that are not claimed that produce a little gold?

That is the million dollar question. One way to find out is get out there yourself & go prospecting. You never know your luck. Then you can tell us.

Nedkelly Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Yep first question people ask when you show them some gold, is where did you find it ? My reply is "in the ground." 3 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/21149-quartzite-az-2023/#findComment-225396 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyo85 Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 The NM Gold Kruzer detector is on the way, I figure to spend the first week on the club claims learning the new Kruzer and checking out my NM Legend detector for gold . The second week I will be roaming the desert with my jeep checking out the washes that are within a 20 mile radius of Quartzsite ,hopefully I don't have to go out farther to find opened unclaimed ground with washes to detect. . My body not what is was 40 years ago detecting , 3 or 4 hours and I'm done for the day now, should work out ok with the temps rising midday . It looks like it won't happen until the last week of February or the first part of March . 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/21149-quartzite-az-2023/#findComment-225476 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to spend some time before the trip researching possible unclaimed BLM land rather than just aimlessly roaming. If you haven't used already, I would suggest using Land Matters to help narrow down possibilities. Mining Claims Maps (mylandmatters.org) OR, just stick to the club claims and work the fringes. 3 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/21149-quartzite-az-2023/#findComment-225772 Share on other sites More sharing options...
