[QUOTE="Teemore, post: 80071, member: 1375"] Hey DD & Vboy Firstly welcone VB... From memory, or what's left of it, the Snake Valley area became extremely popular about 35 years ago when someone found a decent sized nugget with a detector and it started a mini craze, as does each 'new' large nugget find .... remember that in those days detectors weren't quite what thay are today ... although I was into fishing rather than prospecting at the time my wife's now 91 year old aunt was a member of a gem club and actually owned a detector .... we went out thet way a few times (without success). Maybe some of the other "older" members can shed some additional light on that period or the locations prospects today or share stories of similar modern day "rushes" started because of 1 good nugget being found.
