This guy did a great job of pointing out why the gold had to be set up there to create an interesting segment and hold the attention of the audience. There are quite a few other gold prospecting TV shows that I just know are heavily edited to make the viewer think but they are always finding lots of gold in every segment. (more…)

Although no other nuggets were found near this unbelievably large gold nugget, just the fact that an individual with a metal detector was able to find what I’m sure is a once-in-a-lifetime discovery! (more…)

We found an area in the Pilbara that has never seen a metal detector before! We just arrived in a new spot and expected having to prospect for several days before getting to a good spot but we found it after only two kilometers of walking on the first day.
Screaming targets in a remote gully revealed plenty of chunky gold nuggets (and also a few bullet casings). Days like these are sooo good and make detecting a lot of fun but unfortunately these areas are hard to find nowadays. (more…)

The Union Mine, Cerro Gordo
Cerro Gordo is a privately owned Mining Town located in the Owens Valley near Lone Pine, California. On this trip our mission is to go down deep into the Union Mine and gather some high grade silver and lead ore. To do this we need to descend over 400′ underground on a hoist from the 1860’s!
