Bumble Bee/Cleator Arizona area with Gold Monster and finding small Gold Nuggets!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Established in 1863, Bumble Bee served as a stagecoach stop and an outpost for the U.S. Cavalry, with a post office established in 1879. The creek, and by extension the town, were so named because early travelers in the area claimed that the indigenous people there were as “thick as bumblebees”. (more…)

Huge gold nuggets found metal detecting. A deadly snake falls into the hole where the Victoria Diggers are prospecting for gold, setting off a panicked attempt of relocating the snake whilst trying not to get bitten.

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

On 1 July 1851 Victoria became a separate colony and, on the same day, James Esmond in company with Pugh, Burns and Kelly, found alluvial gold in payable quantities near Donald Cameron’s station on Creswick’s Creek, a tributary of the Loddon, at Clunes, 34 km (22m) north of Ballarat. Esmond and his party found the gold after Esmond had been told by George Hermann Bruhn of the gold that had been found in March 1850 on Cameron’s property at Clunes and that in the vicinity were quartz reefs which were likely to bear gold.[60] Esmond rode into Geelong with a sample of their discovery on 5 July. News of the discovery was published first in the Geelong Advertiser on 7 July and then in Melbourne on 8 July. (more…)

Minelab Detectors and Search Coils

Thinking about upgrading your search coil? Are you unsure of whether to buy the 15″ round or the 17×13″ elliptical. They are both good coils, but with some very slight differences, so I decided to do a video so you can see for yourself. On the two targets tested, the 5000 with 15″ round in Fine Gold gave the best response, and a very close second was the 17×13″ in Enhance on the 4500. (more…)

Victorian golden triangle dream gold nugget find. 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:.

The first gold rush in Australia began in May 1851 after prospector Edward Hargraves claimed to have discovered payable gold near Orange, at a site he called Ophir. Hargraves had been to the Californian goldfields and had learned new gold prospecting techniques such as panning and cradling. Hargraves was offered rewards by the Colony of New South Wales and the Colony of Victoria. Before the end of the year, the gold rush had spread to many other parts of the state where gold had been found, not just to the west, but also to the south and north of Sydney. (more…)
