Randsburg, Ca.

Hi everyone, I've done some coin shooting in the past few years and now I'm interested in trying my luck with nugget shooting.

I would like to know the general area around Randsburg that I can run down my batteries and kick some rocks. How far off a particular road would be real helpful.

Any info would be appreciated--Pic

High desert with hundreds of open shaft (pit) mines that are a hazard waiting for a chance to happen.

Extremely cold in the winter and as hot as Death Valley in the summer.

Try the goler gulch area, just to the north of randsburg in the el paso range.  A lot of open deep shafts so watch your step.

Also,  there are many claims in that area.  Do your homework and don't play where you don't have a right to.

The Randsburg area is large... actually both eluvial and alluvial nuggets, as well as eolian can be recovered in the greater area. There is a Tertiary channel that "day-lights" in the El Paso range... To join a prospecting club having claims is a good way to be able to go out and detect without trespassing.

One of the less expensive clubs is the Antelope Valley group. They are very active and not only dry wash and detect in the desert, but also coin hunt in parks as well as dectect both salt and fresh water beaches. They also participate with the West Coasters in putting on one of the best seeded/planted hunts.
