Hi everyone.  It's my first post to this forum, though I'm active on my local GPAA chapter's forum, in Pennsylvania.

My son (11 years old) and I love to go out and sluice, but we can't bring our sluice with us; we are bringing our metal detectors, though, and our classifiers and pans. 

We're staying right in Palm Springs, and we'll have a rental car, so we're able to go mobile - north, south, east or west.

Any suggestions on where we should go?  We'd prefer to keep the drive under 2 hours each way if possible.

I'd love to hear from you, whether you're a local or whether you've tried the area and have some suggestions for locations.
