That took walking many miles before I found anything close to that. I did end up buying a mine lab Gold Monster to pick up the tiny pickers but yes I agree fancy tools don't make you a better prospector. Hardwork and dedication does 😁
Congratulations! I am brand spanking new at this metal detecting adventure. Did my first run today. Was pretty warm out there. Idaho. I brought a lot of goodies home. Mostly, nice little gemstones. I love those. Crystals are exciting to find. Best of luck in your future explorations!
Hands shake and voice quavering LOL. I would be the same. The lesson here is what I had heard before, when water slows down the gold drops! Very usefull indeed!
Yep. The big round rock directly on top was his X to mark the spot, and before digging, the dirt was the dark dirt of freshly dug earth. Quite the actor though, a little over the top, but not bad. I'm sure this video was made to up the value of the nugget as a collector piece or as jewelry.
I found gold and gemstones at Arizona. One gemstone is a light green color gem quality that i gifted to co worker. Another one is dark green and weighs 270 carats. I tested it with the diamond selector 2 and it is about a bar to two bars higher than the starting range on the tester. My TH-cam video is called "raw emerald" and "raw emerald update".
I just love this video. I've watched it three times because I love his reaction. Find of a lifetime. I've found a lot of gold but nothing as cool as that. Especially "in the middle of nowhere next to a culvert." No F in way is right!
Congratulation Brother !!!!! I found a small vein or something today near Rio Grande AZ and got (8) pickers ..... All together almost 15 grams..... and I dug deep too ..... My ass still hurts ..... Good luck brother .... The find of a lifetime ....... Nuggets give you weird sounds when deep..... Then get sharper sounding the closer you get......
I mainly spend most of my time in North Western AZ, What the video didnt show is going out walking miles everyday for a very long time before finding that. I had weeks of finding nothing already, golds a hobby, minerals are my thing. As im sure you know Gold does weird things to otherwise good people so I keep it as a fun only hobby lol I have friends at base camp who got the fever when they seen that nugget. Folks often think it comes easy but its anything but, then again thats the fun part of the adventure
I just got my 1st metal detected. Havent gone out yet but I wondered how much did that gold end up being worth? Just looking for some motivation to go out lol
I ended up getting a mine lab goldmonster which is so much better than my old one. That nugget was around 4.5 ounces but it had friends, bigger friends.... It looks easy but what I didnt show is the 15+ miles I walked every week for 2 months after coming back from my mining claims before I hit the big boys
@@thelapidarychannel4770 yeah since i commented vie gone out hunting and have found it to be fun but also entails a lot of senseless digging for beer caps lol, but the long time spent digging can still be fun definetly a hobby im glad i picked up thaks for the reply
Can I just tell you how excited I am for you !!!!!! Holy smokes I was screaming out loud for you. I'm in utah and I just ordered a 6000 gpx . I've been told utah doesn't hold gold like what you have in your hand but no one ever prospects in utah compared to other places either so who knows. For my own enjoyment and curiosity you said that nugget had bigger friends I'm trying to learn how far away big nuggets like to hide from each other. Was there any type of a pattern you noticed or completely random distances away
Looks like copper not gold. Wonder if someone threw it out there to trick someone. Hoped it was gold it would have inspired me to come out and start searching.
I thought I found a nice piece with my 4 grammar I’d buy that from ya what was the exact weight and it always happens like that a guy will think he is on trash and then pulls a remarkable piece out great job nice find
How’s bout a lil hint? Lat n long will work ole pal o mine! Tis better to give then receive you will be rewarded with good karma ! Just the townsite will help! Half blind peg legged ole prospector here!
Northern Arizona. Had to walk 15+ miles a week after getting back from my claims every evening for 2 months or better to hit a good one besides little pickers and lead shot
@@reaj2010 About 1and 1/2 to 2 lbs. That would be a neat little sum of money with gold around 1800-1900 dollars an ounce. That's just a guess though. Who knows?
It just goes to show that you don't need a 7 thousand dollar detector to find gold. Good work.

Wow! Found more gold in one hole than most in there entire life😀 I would hit that wash with a good pulse induction.Great job ,subbed
😂 your reaction was pricless, "that can't be gold.. yeah it is gold". Awsome man! Thank you for sharing such an amazing find!
Hands shake and voice quavering LOL. I would be the same. The lesson here is what I had heard before, when water slows down the gold drops! Very usefull indeed!
Nice find!!! I would keep going to that spot if I found a nugget like that there.
Oh I did lol 😆
WHEN YOU GRABBED THAT, YOUR HAND STARTED SHAKING, YOUR BREATHING CHANGED...OMG, I FELL IN LOVE!
That’s the day you hang up your detector. It will never get better than that.
Where that nugget came from there must be more gold deposits!⛏️🤠💰
I'm calling bullsh!t

@@morgan1719 Its a wash, all the gravel is loose haha
yep, My reaction was that it was mighty clean in the crevices of the gold. All bright and shiny.
Did he film the hundreds of pieces of trash he must also have dug?
That’s a hell of a piece to find right off the edge of the road with a 14 kHz detector just below the surface of flow gravel. 😅
got a target, sounds like crap, Finds a waking wet dream.

It’s funny I was told the exact same thing from an old guy too, evidently those old guys are on to something, interesting. 🧐

I would be shaking like a leaf too!
Congratulations what a find!!!

Your all over the place Manny😆
What part or county of Arizona were you in when you found that? That’s an incredible find!!!
Amazing find!
Wow! Great find! Here is a video I made, finding gold around the San Domingo Wash area near Morristown Arizona @
What settings did you have it on out of interest?
Great Find?! Congratulations 👏
I almost passed out with you 😂
Me too I was holding my breath
I just found a 3.4 pounder a few weeks ago. Took me forever to clean it .
Great find prospector!!!
Hmm, I wonder if there's any nuggets around the old culverts by my place. I might have to get the metal detector out and check.
Found my first nuggie in AZ. Want to get back out there!
Lucky and persistent person you are. What part of Arizona ? grid coordinates ?

I weighed it, came in at almost 3 ounces. I'll probably end up trading it for opal when I meet up with my Aussie opal miner friend
Congratulations 👍🤝

WTG congrats!
