This is the third video of finding gold on my new gold claim. For those wondering what it's REALLY like to metal detect for gold in the Pacific North West this is a must watch!
I've found tons of gold nuggets on this claim, check them out in my two previous videos:
#1: • Snorkeler Accidentally...
#2: • There's so much gold o...

Thanks for watching! I'd love to hear your feedback, I plan to answer every comment on this video. 🙂
Hi again Tim,
glad you got my reply. I did pretty good yesterday, gold in every pan, most small but some good size flakes. I used the shovel for the first time & it worked good, very strong & doesn't come loose when you tighten it down like other folding shovels, the only thing you might not like is the head spade is flat, not curved like other spades, but I was able to shovel out a lot of overburden, it works for me. It was good to get out there again, the American river still has lots of gold, most small, but fun to find, lots of exposed soft bedrock & crevices to work. One of these days I'll come across a nugget hopefully. Thanks, Serg
That’s awesome you have that claim. I’m 3yrs into hobby gold panning/sluicing and love it. You’re living my dream. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks! Will do! Good luck to you.
Loved the aussie accent 🤣 my theory why Australia has all the big gold is because the heveys always sink to the bottom 😉 thumbs up from down under
Thanks, the Aussies probably think it sounds terrible 😄 but I gave it my best. That's a good theory, totally makes sense, I like it.
You nailed it in this video!
Thanks for sharing
🙏❤️🌲
😄👍 thanks for watching.
I just found your channel. Enjoying the videos, and learning a little as well. All the best on your claim!
Awesome, thanks!
Same here. New subscriber. Finding your channel to be very interesting. Hope you strike it big!
Cheers!

@@Whipple1 Thanks! I hope I do too 😆Can't wait till the water goes down and I can do some more sniping in the river.
Very happy for you. I am curious of your aprox, location.
Like Ak or UK. I'm going on my boat to look for a claim. On the coast of Ak.
Man Eric you NAILED IT! LMBO JJ
Certainly did. I need to nugget it next time.
@@wildernesseric I'd Get 1 of those Portable Vacs & Extra batteries. JJ
@@johnjacobs1625 If I can find a good light weight setup that's definitely something I should do in the future.
and thank yoi for sharing the adventure and information
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
You got an ‘STD’ in the ‘crack’! 🤣 Hilarious! 🤣
🤣 naturally... it knew it's place.
The little crom barrel thing is a set of eyes of a fishing fly they are meant to weight the fly
Ahh that would make sense. I was thinking maybe it was a nipple or belly button piercing stud 😆. I think your theory is more accurate though.

Interesting I'll have to check it out. Thanks.
When I was out last week, I found the nut that goes with the bolt, that fits your iron hole.
Haha, maybe someone will find the bolt now.
Question, how come you're not using the whites detector to help discriminate out the hot rock, and using the graph it gives you to determine the metal it is detecting. I have the same model, same head and a Whites GMT as well. Granted I defiantly don't have the best experience metal detecting though. I'm located in Southern Oregon, was wondering where you're at.
Saluti dall'Italia 🇮🇹. Like 👍.
Thank you, greetings to you as well 🙂
I live in South Florida 30 min from Fort Lauderdale Beach which I call bottle cap beach. And pull tab park. Lol. I wish there were good clean hunting grounds .
Haha, yeah all I ever find is trash with the detector.
That big chunk of iron triangular shaped with a hole in the middle could possibly be and old fashioned strut bracket connector or a shock coupler. Just my opinion.
You mean like on a bridge?
Your finding the old timers pots and nails from up stream so just stay with it.
I'm injoying your channel. Stay positive and learn the various sounds of detector. Run almost all the material on bedrock.
Just to see if ???
Yes you're right. In fact I did some exploring around the area and found a really old mining camp! I'm going to show it briefly in my next video probably and then scour it with a metal detector later on. I enjoy detecting for relics more than gold detecting because it's more fruitful. I haven't given up on gold detecting though, I'll be back at it.
did you have it set for prospecting or relics
I did for most of the time. I tested it with a small nugget I had and it seemed to work best on that mode with all the iron trash around.
With all those nails, there must have been an old home site near by. I'm surprised you haven't found any coins. But perfect spot to find gold!!!
You are right, in the video after this I found an old mining camp from the 1800's. I also found some remnants of what looks like an old flume. I'm going back sometime in the future to metal detect the old mining camp.
that dumbbell shaped piece is a eyes for a fishing fly for fly fishing it ties to the hook and the bug and material is tied over it.
Ok that makes sense. I thought it was a nipple piercing stud or something lol.
marble is any rock that polishes
😆 then I've got tons of marble!
lol I find nails too 🤣then watch Aussie get gold Im bottle caps up we are rusty nails
The old miners here loved nails!
Pretty sure you will have the same luck with a gold bug or other detectors like the goldmonster. I have had the same issue's whenever I've been out in northern California with my goldmonster. As a rule of thumb I just start panning or sluicing wherever I find a bunch of iron now. There or here in the midwest.
As for that big piece of iron...no idea. The small piece was cool. I thought a warn down lighter striker, but its too shiny. Maybe some kind of jewelry. Is it magnetic? Look's like some kind of precious metal.
That's what I'm guessing about the detectors. I've only used VLF detectors and have not tried a pulse induction detector yet, hoping to get my hands on one to test as they work differently. Another viewer seemed to think the small piece as part of a fishing lure, I thought it looked kind of like a body piercing stud. It's not even slightly magnetic.
Where abouts in the northwest are you located
Look like a block to hold a steal cable, and all those nails, I'd say there was a wood bridge up stream at one time that's been washed out.
I think that's a good guess on the block even though there is not a bridge nearby I suppose it could have floated way down on some wood. The nails appear to be from at least a couple different era's in time. Definitely need to do some exploring around the area to see what I can find when I get some time.
Pretty good man, I just started detecting and I only find junk =(
Yeah, seems to be status quo with detecting. Even though there's nuggets there you still can't find them in areas like this with a detector. I guess that's good and bad. Those who are willing to dig a little get rewarded, but it's work to find the gold.
@@wildernesseric gotta go away from people most try, like creeks where the hike is harder. ToeToes always finds stuff, but he also find a ton of crap too.
@@petertwiss356 that's the crazy thing, this is away from people. Didn't expect to find this much stuff. I suspect now that there's probably some old mining camps around somewhere. I'm gonna do some exploring and see what I can find.
Well you did find an artifact I’m betting that Ford weight goes way back at least before the 40s quite possibly to the teens and 20s
Yeah, I tried to look it up after that but couldn't find any information on how old it could be. It definitely looks old fashioned as no modern tire weights look like that. I'm finding square nails and round nails so I'm thinking maybe there is stuff from the 1800's mining days and the 1930's. Either way it was a long time ago because nothing is left but wilderness and pieces of metal.
where in the pnw?
🤐
i believe that your block is a part of a dead man , possibly a tram way anchor
Dead man? Is that the point where a cable is anchored on a bridge or something?
Can't wait for the water to come down so you can jump in that water! I bet you're eager too!
Yes, definitely. Luckily the water is going down faster than I thought it would so I will be in there very soon! Thanks for watching!
the iron is a hold down clamp
For what?
I would suggest you up grade. To at least. A mine lab ( gold monster 1000 ) it will serve you well ! And yes moss. Catches gold
I've heard a lot of people suggest the Gold Monster. Hopefully I can find someone who will let me test theirs out first.
@@wildernesseric
That machine is made for hunting bed rock.
I'm dying to know if you're in Washington or Oregon. I'm in Washington and prospect Northeastern Washington
Sorry, wish I could say but need to keep the location secret at least for now. 🤐
I've been carefully studying all of the trees, rocks, and even the deer in the video. I am 100% sure that I have a clue on how to find Eric.
Don't look here in Indiana. That is definitely not my state. Hope that helps...
Sir how much price in doller
Do you mean the cost of the metal detector? They are around $700 usd.
😂😂😂
GOODONYAMATE
Thanks!
Salam kenal dan salam satu hobby
Greetings
Good chance those nails are from a long tom sluice
I have looked around the area since this video and have found an old mining camp and possibly remnants of an old flume. I'm going back to metal detect the old mining camp sometime in the future.
@@wildernesseric oh sweet, how cool is that. Never know what you might find, I took my GM1000 out to a old hydraulic operation & found some super cool relics of the forgotten era when men wore a shovel to a nub trying to make a living wage, they don't make many like that anymore goodness gracious. Good luck searching for treasures my friend happy trails, safe travels & heavy pans Sir.
@@phylxguy5547Thank you, yeah I keep finding more and more cool stuff and places to treasure hunt in this area. Wish I had more time to explore it all. You find any valuable relics? I'm wondering if the old timers had a habit of stashing gold or coins.
@@wildernesseric well depending upon what you perceive as valuable I believe so haha I've found an allotment of tools, a belt buckle & multiple coins obviously not in tip-top shape nonetheless a treasure to me. Although I do know of a guy who has found a stash jar that has almost 1 oz of gold nuggets and a little bit of flour gold he found not far from a old pioneer campsite that was almost 10 years ago now but that showed either they stash ,lost, got robbed or possibly killed by either murder or sometimes of natural causes but they occasionally had something of significance that gets lost into time & mother nature's labyrinth of flora that takes back making for an incredible adventure searching thru the maze of obstacles put forth to aid in your experience.
You’re finding all that all the copper and nails because you got it on the artifact setting. Lol
I've tried all 3 modes and get the same results. I did some testing and put a small nugget in with some black sand. The nugget reads as a hot rock because of all the mineralization(black sand) around it. I think this is the main reason I'm not finding nuggets with the detector, and there are way too many actual hot rocks to dig all the "hot rock" targets. I'm gonna have to try a few different types of detectors and see if I can find one that will work in this area.
No ideal what it was , but now just a paper wight.
Yep pretty much.
That big peace of metal with the hole is a THINGY MA JIG and it of a WHATS A MA CALL IT. NEW ZEALAND 🇳🇿.
Awesome thanks I'm glad someone was finally able to tell me what it is 🤣
Atleast you wont need nails to build any kind of structure on your claim.
Haha yeah, if I find anymore I'll have to build a cabin 😄
@@wildernesseric I believe that hunk of iron is a hillside washer, or beveled washer. Allows the bolt to bolt something that has any kind of angle aside from 90 or 180. Just a speculation though.
@@danielhughes9556 that's a good thought. Though I wonder how it got to the river in the middle of nowhere? Maybe a piece of bridge that washed out way upstream or something? Maybe floated down connected to a piece of wooden structure?
Maybe. I work on bridges, and have used hillside/beveled washers. Only WAY smaller. That thing is massive
@@danielhughes9556 oh, well I guess you're the right person to aske that question too then 😆 Now I wonder how old it might be? Also wonder if maybe it could be something to a piece of old mining equipment.
Can you not use clickbait cover images for your videos? if your video is good you dont need them!
Get the same metal detectors the aussies use gpz7000 or something like that. Use the best.
My friend has a gpz7000 but it does not work well in this area because there is too much metal trash and mineralized soil. It's quite a challenging area to detect.
@@wildernesseric looks like a decent claim. You gotta watch for poachers. Hope your hard work pays off. Peace.
