Chris Coffee Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 So, on a whim, me and a friend decided to take a day trip to wickenberg from southern California to try and detect for some gold. At this point we are in Quartzsite and still a couple hours from wickenberg. We would be forever grateful if someone would give us a generalized DECENT area to detect. I know it's a lot to ask. We're not asking for secret spots (unless you WANT to give one up...lol), just somewhere with a pretty good chance of finding something yellow. Thank you in advance.

jrdemaris Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Wish I could help but I can caution you. A lot of the land around there is State Trust land and you can't even get out of your car without a permit. Also most of the known gold producing areas are claimed. I hope someone else will jump in with more info. if not, maybe someone in Wickenburg can help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrdemaris Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I think everyone is out looking for gold today due to the cool temp. Call this number. If he answers he will help but he may be out swinging too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Coffee Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Thank you for the reply. It doesn't really even have to be IN Wickenberg. Somewhere close would be fine as well. I didn't see a number, sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Coffee Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 18 minutes ago, adam said: Should have just stayed in Quartzsite dude ... We hit the area south of the 10 near the Plamosa placers. Struck out. So decided to try to get to W'berg and the LSD Wash. Never hunted there before so went where we "thought" was the right place. WWAAYY OFF! Going east on the 60 wh turned right on W Gates Rd. Went down the road/hill until we crossed a wide waterway. Not sure that we were in the right place though. Thinking of hitting the other side of the 10 right now on the way back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right about the time we figured out we were in the wrong place it was time for us to go. Ran across a couple of young guys with a broke down quad so we pulled them out of the river bottom and gave then some cold water. .After that, it was time to begin our 6 hour trip home. Jrdemaris gave us a hand with some directions, but the drive to the spot y'all are talking about was another 40 minutes from where we were and we just didn't have the time. There's always next time! 😉👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
