Hi Everyone New to the site and could really use some help!!! I'm coming down from Canada in early January and would love to find someone to detect with in Gold Basin or anywhere for that matter. Swinging a GPX 5000. Here is my dilemma....I have friends who have no interest in detecting......Yah..I know...Blasphemy. Right? I'm seeking someone interested in day trips for the week that I'm there. I'll be staying in Vegas and day tripping from there. Is there any kind souls out there that would like to help out a newbie? Where I live(Victoria B.C.) there are areas to pan and detect, lots of claims and some nice gold has been found, however, its tough slugging a coil through the rain forest. lol I've had my detector for 11/2 years and have yet to find a nugget.... That being said, I'd love to check out the basin with someone who's worked the land and can guide me to my first nugget. Being a nugget virgin is depressing!!! I'd like to cut down the learning curve as well, hopefully with someone who has a claim and doesn't mind me tagging along working it with them or someone who goes on public lands. A set of coordinates ? I'll be driving down and would love to be able to share expenses, so if anyone wants to come with me from points north they are most welcome to join me. Staying in a 2 bedroom condo on the strip. I hope this finds the right person. Cheers Rick
