Hi Peter: I think the Rye Patch area in between Lovelock NV and Winnemucca NV and to the west of the Interstate is a good place to go look, take the Imlay exit and head west. If you have a laptop, there is a program you can buy called Mine Cache that overlays Google Earth that has all the claims both active and inactive on it and I believe it is around $30, it will give you a good idea where the gold is and the info and the people that own the claims and especially the inactive claim areas. Idaho is still winter in the places I know where gold can be found. Good luck on your hunt. Les
