    Thanks man. Cool tips. Maybe you should add to always have plenty of drinking water with you. And be careful of the heat and UV's. One more thing. You could add a plug about respecting the land and nature. Animals live out there. Thank you again. Subscribed.

    Thanks for the info, good job. The book Gem Trails of Nevada is another decent reference, but needs an update. That's good advice to explore. I know there are some giant cobbles along the northeast shore of Lake Lahontan, but there signs that said no collecting in the park.

      Super close to me. Those are not super abundant around us, but I have found a few on the fort churchhill side of the river. Only problem at the moment is its flooding over there at moment but when the water goes down a bit will be a solid time to look. Also the black rock desert is not to far and can find some amazing ones around there. 👍
