- Learn all about Australian gold detecting and prospecting. Are you still trying to find your first gold nugget? This video has some tips about finding gold by observing clues left by the old time prospectors. I am detecting near Inglewood in Victoria, Australia. Watch me describe how i found an ounce of gold in this gully 5 years ago and then go detecting looking for more. Australian gold detecting is not always easy but hopefully this video helps you find your first gold nugget. I was using the GPZ7000 detector made by Minelab, This is a great gold prospecting and detecting tutorial.
Probably the best tape i have ever watched on TH-cam.
Thank You so much for going to the effort , and I admire you for not being a "It's all about MEEEEE" poster.
I would imagine that you are succesful in all aspects of your Life , and your family should be so grateful.
Mohammed Novalija Thanks Mohammed, I do enjoy sharing my experiences, especially passing on a little of what I’ve learnt over the years. So many people get caught up in how big the gold is, this video has taught me that many appreciate the skill and sense of achieve in finding small bits in heavily hit ground. Thanks again for your comments. :)
@@BKGoldDetecting There is a saying that I haven't managed to incorporate into my Life - There was a man who complained about not having a pair of shoes , until he met a man who had no feet.
Don't allow smoke and mirrors to cloud the truth.
THIS is the exact information I’ve been looking for. Keep the series going!!!
Got a detector for Christmas and been out around Bendigo every day since with no success.
Thanks to you I realised I was going about it all wrong!!
Well done mate👍🏼
Watching all the way from the Philippines😁
Good finds some lovely bits well done
Truly enjoyed the adventure and seeing some nice nuggets....
Thanks Gary, been surprised how popular this video has been, it’s not all about big gold. Best place to learn good skills is in an old area that’s been hit hard. Real challenge to find what others have missed.
THX B.K. interesting where you can find the shiny stuff.Never give up never give in.
Great work mate, love it Cheers for sharing Alicia & Steve.
Lots of information great video
I hope to begin prospecting soon you have explained a lot for me
Well done Mate..
Go the power of
Minelab GPX 7000
Cheers Famo59
👍🤓🍺⛏
Great work champ. Well done 👍
Very informative videos B.K. I like your camp setup too. Looks very functional.
Just found your Chanel & really enjoying it well done
Thanks….
I told you I’d check you out after Dylan’s live show. I’m now a sub
Love the vid! Thanks for that!!
We've been out on 5 trips now, twice with support and training from experts and 3 times alone. With support we were able to find some small gold, but when alone we still struggle to select the right spot to detect on (in known gold producing areas). We find a lot of rubbish and lead shot but no gold so far.
This videos give some clue on how to select your area which I love. Would love to see more on that! We use an SDC2300.
Jori Thanks :) it takes time to consistently find gold. What you don’t see in my videos is the days or weeks I sometimes go without gold. It all pays off when suddenly out of the junk comes a nice piece. Or better still you find a patch. Many people give up before the point where they gain the confidence to thoroughly detect an area where they are confident gold SHOULD be. I am very big on looking for the signs of gold by observing the ground and any old workings. Once I am confident that all the signs are right I go over every square inch in a small area and am more often than not successful. Hope this helps and keep watching :)

Thanks for the great information mate.
We are heading over to WA at the end of March.
Would be great to run across you digging the big one.
I will watch the next vid as well.

Thanks Shirley, I am making a series of videos for beginners as this video has really taken off. Thanks for subscribing :) if you think of anyone else who may be interested would be nice if you can share the link :)
BK
excellent presentation. quite excited that you have shown us how to find our first nugget. Good luck in W A BK
Good video for beginners 👍👍👍
Thanks nice video for someone new as long as they listen to what's being said, low and slow. Move the over burden and don't forget fill in your holes.
Very true, too many people walk away from the rich spots looming for new ground. Occasionally works but the old timers could sniff it out from miles away. I have had most luck following their clues.
I enjoy your adventures.
Good onya matey, good for newbies to learn from. Nice nuggies too.
Great Video cobber! My prospecting partner and I still yet to crack our first bit in WA, but will keep on persisting! Surely soon 😁😁😁
Great awning!
Thanks Doug, best investment ever, it’s a Rhinorack Batwing.
very cool
This is so cool :) Thank you
Best video I’ve seen in a long time, thanks. Would love to know your settings
Thanks Andrew, I will soon be making a few more detailed videos showing settings.
BK Gold Detecting thanks, that would be really helpful
Thanks heaps,great Tutorial
Great vid, your knowledge is outstanding. Thanks for sharing 👍👍
any chance you might let us know what settings you were using and how you go about starting up and balancing the detector...
Also, good luck im W.A im looking forward to more vids 😊
Thanks Stuart, I will soon be putting out some more videos where I will go into settings a bit more.
Thanks for watching

@@BKGoldDetecting awesome mate, cant wait 👍👍
Hope you had a Happy Australia Day too 🥳
Nice machine mate the 7000, youll do ok with that in WA
I am learning lots from you guys
carol matthews Thanks Carol, can’t wait to get back out there once this is all over.
hi. cool video. like
Thank you Kevin! I have owned an Equinox 800 for about 6 months and go prospecting when I can, done a lot of walking and sweeping and still no nuggets, maybe one day, great video.
Paul Lake Hi Paul, in my experience the best way to get your first nugget is to pick a small area and go over it thoroughly. Walking around is often non productive as it’s very easy to walk corridors that others have walked. I rarely go out without finding at least a few small ones by going over every inch of an area that should contain gold. Watch for more videos soon that will hopefully help.

@@BKGoldDetecting thank you for your sage advice, I'll do that next time I head out.
Great vid..
Thanks, been surprised at the response. Most of my WA videos show big gold and this one with just a few bits seems to have taken off.
I noticed on my app there's a huge leased area north of town MIN4639 and smaller area next to it MIN4572 ~ can you still detect here anyway as it's State. Forest and conservation areas ~ seems wrong to get shiut out if they are reserving it?
Great practice anyway. You know you're not missing the big ones hey...😎✌️
great n00b vids, does wearing steel-capped boots interfere with the coil picking up one's boots?
Thanks Dan, I never wear steel capped boots, I use the ones electricians wear, they have a composite cap.
@@BKGoldDetecting I have watched heaps of prospecting vids and thought no way there wearing steel caps and never thought about "composite " boots, but thank you for your reply mate "happy hunting"
I like the video.
I am thinking of starting detecting in nsw. Wondering whats a good starter detector ?
I was looking at the Minelab equinox 800 or the gold monster 1000
Unfortunately detectors aren’t cheap. I did have a gold
Monster for a while and in the right hands it will find gold. There are plenty of gold monster specific videos out there. Well worth a watch. Personally I would go for a second hand early series GPX detector if your on a budget.
@@BKGoldDetecting Thanks for that, I will have a look at them as well.
Why is there so much Gold in Victoria??? Can I find any in NSW?
Bravo, great video. Never get disheartened . Low and slow, you will be rewarded :)
Definitely, a change of pace from my WA season. So much ground there that low and slow goes out the window. :) But here in Victoria I’m definitely a low and slow fan.
@@BKGoldDetecting I will find out in May as it will be my first time in WA for detecting :). Good luck to you over there .
Hi great video!! What brands are you clothes and 🐫 pack ?!!! You look cool 👍
Darrel Ellis Ha Ha, didn’t realize I was a design guru. :) well I normally wear Katmandu or Mountain design shirts as they are SPF 50 and very cool in the hot weather. My pack is a Camel Bak, the one used my US military, very tough.
@@BKGoldDetecting LoL cool 👍 thanks
Can you share what settings your using here?
Hi Reuben, thanks for watching. I will soon be putting out some more videos where I will discuss settings a bit more.

Please respond.

Still here Glen, been a while since I’ve been out detecting. Hoping to resume soon.

Boko Tov dear Brian , Wife, and Familes.
We had been Concerned as to your Health situations etc.
Are you able to detect in Snow. Yibberta Yibberta.
We are constantly on the road. In Queensland. Seeing it all before it's gone.
Next week, we will begin to move across into the Clermont Regions. Thru to the far west to The Curry, then into the Gulf.
We will be checking areas for the illusive specks of Dazzling AU =

Gold may be our Deliverance from poverty in the Future, as Russia has made the New Financial Ruple solid on Gold again.
Over ,147 Countries have fled the Propped up Nothingness Dollar to go to something Tangible. Amazing days ahead, as so many Gold Mines being Revised again.
We pray that you both keep well, and free from the Serpents Bite.

Watch out for junjudees out there fella
the BIG money is in selling detectors...
Like any hobby the person who sells the equipment makes money… the boat you buy for fishing, the caravan you buy for camping, the golf clubs for golf. I’ve had immense pleasure for many years out of the $10,000 I spent on my detector. The difference is I do pay for my fuel plus more, I never catch enough fish to pay the fuel for my boat. But then I’m a lousy fisherman. :)
Well done on the gold! I’d be happy with 1g. New subscriber if your interested in beach hunting check us out! Can’t wait for you to come over to Western Australia 🇦🇺👍🏻
