My guess it's California's desert or Arizona's desert.. Can't do that during the day way to hot..

That was all found on the same night!!

They are in the heart of the California motherload country, El Dorado county, not the desert, but mountains, they hunt at night for two reasons, first and mainly, it's been over 100 degrees with no rain for almost 2 months now, secondly they have been followed more than once by highgraders/claim jumpers trying to find their patches/claims, they hunt and do videos at night also so no one can recognize any landmarks that would give away their patches.
