Anyone Prospect Near Tuscarora Nv?

[Lead Detector]

Has, or does anyone detect or prospect near Tuscarora NV? I'm mainly wondering if it's all claimed up tight, or if there is still opportunity to do some prospecting in that area?

Try this link:

Go to “maps” on the top bar; on right side pick “mining claims”; then “state”. Once on the map use “+” to zoom.

Thanks. I have used that sight. It works well for finding what sections have claims.  I'm just curious if there's anything out there decent left for the hobbiest to explore.

Only true reliable way these days is not the BLM, not My Land Matters, nothing except the local county courthouse.

 Maybe I dont know something but BLM data seems to simplify the process.  Im sure stuff gets goofed up here and there but BLM/Land Matters is pretty slick for quickly researching areas.

Have you tried this under Land Matters “Land Status” ; Public Land Survey plus PLSS. It will get down to the quarter section (160 ac); ie: NW, NE, SE, SW. on paper you break the quarter section into four 40 ac. units; ie: nwnw, nenw, senw, swnw. The next breakdown is 20 ac. If you know the quarter section, NW, SW, etc, location of an existing claim or marker you can get an idea what areas may be open or claimed. A visit to the county recorder will verified one way or another. Chances are if there is a history of gold or silver the ground will be claimed.

Land Matters also has a GPS tool in the maps. You can use it locate both the Section and Quarter Section corners GPS coordinates.
