I really enjoyed watching your video. You are such a calm and mellow guy. Thanks for this... I will be watching more of your videos for sure. I live in Apache Junction, Arizona. Maybe I will run into you someday and you can show me a thing or two about a thing or two. Be safe out there
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I genuinely appreciate it 🤙 You be careful out there as well. It’s a little too hot for me right now.
Nice Kit Fox. The wildlife in the desert is very sparse til night falls. I'd go out and set under the stars and wait an hour and then the critters would start to prowl. I'd see jack rabbits and kit foxes and all kinds of mice and rats. It helps to have a night vision scope.Prospecting is still good now but it's going to get hot soon with April only a few weeks away. Quartzite will soon be a ghost town with all the snowbirds heading north.
Haha as a native to Arizona, the sounds of the desert did not correlate with the current month of November and I had to check when this was posted. 😂 Those cicadas and other insects only come out to sound off the sizzle when it’s like 110 degrees or hotter! ❤️🔥🌵🤙🏼 Happy prospecting and stay hydrated!
Great video Adam! Nice finds, really liked the old claim paperwork and the bottle, oh and the gold was ok too :) Great tips for GB2 users. Keep the videos coming and I will keep watching.
Nice video Adam!! Those old Prince Albert cans are cool, especially when they contain old claim paperwork. Nice sticking with it to pick up a couple nuggets and the fury nugget is awesome too. I really liked the shutdown in the evening when all you see is the setting sun and the sound crickets. ~Stay safe ~
Great video and instruction. For me the artifacts are special as you to a degree make a connection with the past. The Kit fox was a bonus, they are cute as can be. Best of luck to you.
Awesome video. I'm just starting out in Nevada. Would you recommend the Gold Bug 2 for a beginner? (Right now I have an ACE 200.) I see when you found the nuggets you had switched to the Minelab. Would you have found those nuggets with the Gold Bug 2? Thank you!
When starting out, you must have a proper metal detector that is known to find gold. The fisher gold bug two is amazing. However it has a bigger learning curve. The mind lab gold monster, 1000 is easier to use and find gold very well.Pulse induction metal detectors punch, deeper than VLF metal detectors. The AC 200 is doing you no good.
Im 7 months late on this.. But what a great video.. i found a can like that also, but your claim paper was really cool to see. i enjoy the local foxes out in the desert.. that one was at home.. haha.. cool vid..
I had two razors passing going up the mountain from chloride lol . Be nice to know if it was you or not . Well I hiked up past the murals . Didn't find much of anything on the detector but seen a lot of possible spot's including a coyote hole someone dug out . I didn't bring a good enough flash light to head off inside . So I continue going up from there . Following the iron fisher . Probably head back up after this cold weather clears up . Sure wish I had a razor to ride because walking 20 miles isn't fun at all lol .
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK It seems as though no matter how far you hike into what you think is a remote area, someone has been there somewhat recently. Sadly, I do not own a Razor or 4 wheeler and I can't get any further than my two legs can carry me. Not to say that they got all the gold, it's there....somewhere hiding from me. I still enjoy it though and the exercise is a bonus. Keep up the good work.
@@laurierogers3336 I have found or been to several areas that a small car could get close , then hike in. Don’t give up ! Using a good detector is critical too
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK that's what I do and I bring my gold monster with me. I've been lucky to find a few nuggets and that's enough to keep me coming back for more. If it was easy to do everyone would be doing it, right?
In New Mexico, they call it an arroyo. Here in Arizona, it's a wash. I haven't heard gully since I was stationed in North Carolina. You from back east?
Adam the old pickle bottle I have got about 4 of them in my collection from a gold mining town named Nerrigundah nsw Australia. I Also like the gold bug 2 I am thinking of buying one very soon. I like the gold you's get keep the good work up .
Adam it's good to see you out again hunting gold and teasing us with your video's. Seems like there is always something that needs to be done to prevent me from getting out in the desert, lately. I really look forward to your video's and how you persevere in your prospectingand are rewarded with nuggets. Hope to run into you one of these days. K Mil aka ORO MIC
The bottle is an old catsup bottle. When I was a kid in the sixties, 'bottle hunting' was a big thing. My entire family got into it. It was like 'prospecting'......
Looking to eventually move to Arizona in within the next few years. Will definitely be following your lead and expect to be out in the western AZ desert detecting for nuggets!
Awesome pieces found and cool old relics! I found a notice of location lode claim document still inside a jar from many years ago up in the hills hidden in AZ before. so cool! Thanks for sharing brother and hope all is well!👊👊😎
.064. 1-grain. the piece i have is .034. and you have to go slow with my gold monster. if it wasn't for the can it was in. i would have never found it consistent signal. seems like fisher made some up grades. niiice. have a good day.
I have one I tested with that is half a grain, and it did ok on that one too. The sensitivity of the new model does not appear to have changed much. The ability to run without a threshold is pretty neat though.
How have all the recent floods in the southwest effected gold prospecting in those areas? It seems like the floods would have replenished gold fields somewhat.
Good floods are always welcome . Yes it stirs things up a bit , more gold can be discovered on bedrock , overburden can get removed exposing new ares to detect and dry wash
Hey Adam I'm bringing the 6000 and the monster down to your stomping ground at the end of the month and am so excited...But until then it sure is nice to watch you find gold in the sun while I freeze my ass if in colorado. Thanks for the info and entertainment, good luck!!
Much appreciate the Gold Bug tip !! I have the old model and been thinking of a Monster or the new GB. What you demonstrated tip the scale in favor of the GB ! BTW, why didn't you use the GB finding those nuggets ? Too much lode stones for a VLF ? Anyway, thanks again for the adventure with your new furry friend ! Cheers !!
Thanks for tuning in Allan , The edge still gos to the Gold Monster though. Besides , you get 2 coils with it, and it can be used without headphones. its a better buy and an easier machine to use. Why I used one machine over the other is sometimes I want something with more depth, especially in areas I think a large deeper nugget is a potential.
Im not familiar with metal detectors. Why does it make noises when its just laying there not being used? Also, what metal detector that is simple to use and in the $500 range would you recommend? Thanks
Detectors can hear electical type interference , so generally they do not run super quiet. Although my GPX5000 is a very quiet machine. Find a used Minelab Gold Monster 1000 . Lots of them sitting in closets
I went out yesterday for the first time with my new Equinox 800 I tried what you do laying the detector down to wave the scoop over the coil, what I'm finding is as soon as I lay the detector down it starts to scream? It doesn't matter where I rest it? As soon as the shaft is horizontal it starts making noise that I can't use it to scan the scoop? I tried different modes. It's been noise cancelled. Why does my 800 do this? I'm using the 11" coil still trying to get the 6" . Probably going to buy it online and hope it gets to Quartzite in time so it can use it before we have to head out of the LTVA.
I just read Steve Herschbach's article on the revised GB2 ,simply amazing. Im pretty ticked though that i didnt' know there was a revised version gb2 and to top it off the month it came out is the same month i bought my gb2 but was analog without the lcd display. talk about ticked off, so im trying to sell my gb2 to get the new gb2, its in pristine condition still. i did order the new nokta legend with gold mode, so im really excited to try that out in the gold fields. anyways nice video as always and good to see the new gb2 and the caveats of the new one.
The new machine isnt really that much different than the older model. They both hear the same size targets but in different ways. Thanks for watching !
That one thing you did though to adjust it on low.is what you said the old one can't do.adds one feature .I will be trying to watch to see if their might be a few more differences in different types of soil
Mr. Hale Had some Rich Hill Claims Back in the 1960's and he showed me that these black rocks contained gold. You should break them up and see . I carry a sack to put all my suspicious rock in and put them in my crusher when I get home. I have found 4 areas where these rocks have gold.
Hey I just subscribed my friend I left Texas to come and hunt in Nevada I've got all my detectors and pan and I'm looking to buy a dry washer..I'd like to meet up and go hunt with you soon see what we can find
Good tips on the GB2. 🤔👌Is this in the Quartsite area? Sometimes it just takes a while to hit your first target of value. Very cool claim papers.👍 The 5000 did its job, very nice little nugget. Thanks for sharing your hunt.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
Looking good! Some gold is better than no gold, huh? You mention the ruggedness of the desert and that you were at one time pretty remote. What are your concerns about going out like this alone? I know you’re experienced, but $hit happens. Is there decent cell coverage for an emergency?
Hello, I'm a mom of a 12 yo and a 14 yo. I just ordered them the minelab 1000 gold monster in an attempt to get them off their phone and hopefully get them on a prospecting hobby. Can you guys give me some guidance as to where I can take them metal detecting? Or do you ever take other people with you in a group? Thank you
Hi there 👋 I’m sorry but I do not take people out at this time. You did good buying that very capable detector, and the only thing I can recommend at this time is to join a prospecting club in your area. Most prospecting clubs have mineral leases that their members can use freely to detect for gold nuggets. I wish you all the best
VLF`s in general are really sensitive to black sands / heavily mineralized soils. It can do it but with that deep of ground a PI like the GPX series would be a better choice. The Gold Bug 2 would have to be dumbed down , but you will lose sensitivity and depth to targets.
Super video sir and your guidelines very good i like you sir very nice gold nugget detecting and nice your tackling . sir my 1 simple caution old GB2 and new GB2 two detectors between iam confusion better this detector please your opinion iam wetting your reply
If and when the GB2 breaks I know you had some experience with the gold monster .. But Check out the Nokta Gold 2000 I have all 3 detectors Even the nokta au . As for air test you are 100% on that there is NO machine that will do bad on air test and fabulous in the ground None.. Especially when your testing for SEPARATION of coin/iron ( Monties elevated board test)
That trap looked like a victor#2 possibly#3 double long spring. Foothold trap. Perfect size for coyotes. Nice find. If there's no tag showing the owners info you're legal to take it. If there tags on it the owner is facing fines
I dont usually use grains. only for the purpose of describing how small that gold was. Its just over 15 grains in one gram. Normally we just use tenths of a gram
at 5:06, ummm your flawed opinion is noted. and, i feel compelled to say that, that sort of test is NOT telling you how well the detector works, in a real world situation. ALL that NEEDS to be done to change that is to pile some DIRT and rocks on top of your planted target. but, oh well.
Sorry, it does apply. Most people should only be hunting bedrock with the Gold Bug 2 anyway. . The air test is only to see if the detector can even see the gold at all. As explained in the video. Depth tests in air are the ones that are flawed. I think your misinterpreting the two different types of air tests
I really enjoyed watching your video. You are such a calm and mellow guy. Thanks for this... I will be watching more of your videos for sure. I live in Apache Junction, Arizona. Maybe I will run into you someday and you can show me a thing or two about a thing or two. Be safe out there

That bottle is a historic pickle jar. Probably dates from the 1880s-1910s. Good find. Love the fox!
Catsup bottle. For sure.

As for air test you are 100% on that there is NO machine that will do bad on air test and fabulous in the ground None.. Especially when your testing for SEPARATION of coin/iron ( Monties elevated board test)
I would really like to try the Notka Gold 2000
That trap looked like a victor#2 possibly#3 double long spring. Foothold trap. Perfect size for coyotes. Nice find. If there's no tag showing the owners info you're legal to take it. If there tags on it the owner is facing fines
Neat, thank you for the info !
The owner died a century ago-i’m sure he won’t press charges. 🤣
How many grains for a gram ? I'm so confused
I dont usually use grains. only for the purpose of describing how small that gold was. Its just over 15 grains in one gram. Normally we just use tenths of a gram
That looks like a ketchup bottle
at 5:06, ummm your flawed opinion is noted. and, i feel compelled to say that, that sort of test is NOT telling you how well the detector works, in a real world situation. ALL that NEEDS to be done to change that is to pile some DIRT and rocks on top of your planted target. but, oh well.
Sorry, it does apply. Most people should only be hunting bedrock with the Gold Bug 2 anyway. . The air test is only to see if the detector can even see the gold at all. As explained in the video. Depth tests in air are the ones that are flawed. I think your misinterpreting the two different types of air tests
I have a question: dose anyone can looking for gol by detector ? Or thats need permet
Anyone can on public land. So long as you’re not on someone’s mineral lease.
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK thank you too much
Are you hurting public or private lands?
Usually Public
I like intense
😎😎😎
Thanks for watching!
Theres no way id ever want to find gold anywhere , id just have to bury it again if I did
You'll probably stumble upon a big nugget at some point.
I sure hope so ! Thanks for watching
