Cowkiller 150 Posted September 27, 2016 Hey everyone just thought I would share a couple gold basin finds. Both were buried about 6 to 8 in deep on a hill side patch. Just cut the flat one and it turned out pretty good. Enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loxlie 1 Posted November 5, 2016 Out of curiosity, are the boundaries discernable as to where the go and no-go areas are in Gold Basin? I've guestimated about 20-25 miles north of Cyclopic is where the Federal Land starts and it's okay to hunt the strewn field there. But, wouldn't want to go to prison for 5 years for some bullcrap reason like just having a detector in my vehicle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredmason 1,133 Posted November 5, 2016 do not cross the fence line, the federal rec land is off limits. fred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikestang 873 Posted November 7, 2016 You can cross the fence line no problem as long as you don't have a metal detector with you; the land is not off limits to hiking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredmason 1,133 Posted November 8, 2016 That is correct Mike I should have been more informative... fred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisski 794 Posted November 11, 2016 I thought gold basin was like a patchwork of public lands mixed with private lands, so south of the "fence" still had to be sure you stay off the 40 acre or 160 acre private lands. I remember most private lands not being marked well or at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisski 794 Posted November 11, 2016 Also thought you could have but not use a metal detector. Wanted to go to one of the landings by the water as sight seeing and did not know you couldn't bring a detector there. No place for me to leave the detector outside rec lands without hours of driving or having it unsecured. I'd need to do this side trip before detecting to avoid suspicion if stopped.
