Like to get away from it all? Soak up some sun? Enjoy quiet sunsets? Duisenburg, about seven miles north of Randsburg in California’s Mojave Desert, may be just the place you’ve been looking for. Only 140 miles from downtown Los Angeles, the 160 acres of patented California high desert land was purchased in 1985. Using a variety of dry-washers and highbanking techniques, LDMA members have recovered a considerable amount of fine gold and uncovered several pockets of nice nuggets. A full time caretaker looks after the Association’s clubhouse and exhibit hall. Hook-ups, however, are not yet available. Future plans include water, bathrooms and a dump station.
