Arizona Metal Detecting – Gold Bug 2

Metal detecting gold nuggets with the gold bug 2 metal detector is no easy task but we endure and dig up our first Arizona Gold! Great start to our 7 nugget goal.

Persistence pays off when detecting. This video really shows that you just don’t go out with a gold detector and work for 5 minutes and get a gold nugget. Thanks for showing what a true prospector does to find an Arizona gold nugget.
