Well, I’m into gold prospecting, and I’ve certainly had a dream or two about finding that huge gold nugget or vein of gold. Many years ago, I can recall one dream where I was detecting for gold and I found one nugget after another. (more…)
A good morning out in the Victorian goldfields. The 12″ Evolution Nugget Finder coil on the mighty Minelab GPX 5000 was producing the gold.
Sure this is an older video, back when the 5000 was the flagship of the Minelab line. Now, as technology has improved, the new flagship seems to be the Minelab 6000, or depending on your opinion the Minelab 7000. (more…)

Fake Gold Detecting Have you ever seen a phony gold detecting video? Personally, I believe this video is a prime example how such phony gold detecting videos on YouTube.

About a yard of gravel can be processes on only 40 gallons. I caught up with Alan at the GPAA gold show in Pomona back in July and got some video talking with Alan about his new desert gold sluice system. (more…)
Arizona Gold Prospecting Hazards My own personal opinion on prospecting is that almost every inch of the desert has been covered by the old timers. Now, with that said, their technology was nothing like our technology now, so, I believe there’s still a lot of gold in Arizona and California Read more
Yes, for centuries people have been searching for gold in Arizona.
The simple answer to the question, is there still gold in Arizona to be found?, is a resounding YES! (more…)
So sick of these fake gold prospecting shows.
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…)

This huge Nevada Gold Nugget was found metal detecting with a Minelab 5000. The Sawtooth mountain range in Nevada was where this was found. As is often the case before the large nugget finds like this, even after diligently searching the area where it was found, no other nuggets turn up.
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…)

We’re running a small gold mining operation for a little while. This is a trial to see if the ground is productive enough to keep digging it.
The ground type is cap rock, hard like cement and not easy on the machine and its operator Adrian. This is day 1 of our attempt to mine big gold (a 50 ouncer was found in this exact spot). I’m looking forward to be working at this gold mine for a bit.
