Well, I am sure you know of Osceola. Nearly all of the land out there is claimed and some exploring is needed. However thats the thing about prospecting - you study and explore and sample to find your own spots.

George,
Here is a site that talks about an area East of Ely.
http://www.greatbasinheritage.org/osceola.htm
I was there once nd there has been a lot of placer work done in the Vally's with the loads up in the hills.
I checked at the BLM office in Ely about the land status and it is heavily claimed. But the surrounding area might produce some finds.
I meet a couple of guys at the Rich Hill Outing a couple of years ago from this area and they where packing nice nuggets. They said you just need to know where to look.

Osceola was one of the larger NV placers from what I have learned, maybe I'll be out there before it snows again.

The simple answer is to join a club like the GPAA and prospect on their claims.
You can do research and find your own spots, but the "how to" on that is probably 30 pages of text. I am writing a book that will include that info, but it probably wont be published until next summer. Until then, see the simple answer above.

As I understand it. you may detect in certain state parks BUT you need a permit.I'll provide more info if anyone wants it.
