When I got there - the gate at the end of the road was closed off, and a couple of people pulled up in their campers and off roading vehicles (while i was out prospecting) , to setup targets. This is an excellent spot to go shooting, it is however not a good spot to go nugget shooting. After spending the night and attempted to set up for the next morning, there was gunfire in the direction of where I wanted to go next - which limited my ability to do anything early that morning. So i packed my things and decided to head home. Detected lead/copper coated ammunition and spent shell casing mostly. This was not a good spot to go as a beginner. There might be gold in this location, but I wasn't finding it with my GM1000.
