- Finally I am back gold detecting near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. WA prospecting is very different to what I’m used to in the Golden Triangle. Finding gold nuggets requires a lot of patience at this location, but the rewards can be high. My GPZ7000 is a great detector for finding gold nuggets in an area where the targets are often very deep.
Wonderful day.
Your a real soldier doing the Hard yards for us.
Hallaluyah , great chance on your next move.

Good effort Kevin. We are heading to WA next week and your videos fuel our inspiration.
Hi, Have you find some nuggets
Another great instalment BK, thanks for sharing mate.
Great video Kevin. Never know what's around the corner so persistence.👍
Good stuff Keving and well done. There's nothing wrong with looking after your vehicle!! Your voice was very low and hard to hear when you were talking to the camera. Cheers and thanks
Sorry about the volume, I’m a better detectorist than movie maker. Problem is that different devices seem to sound different. I’ll get it right one day :)
We call the scratches Arizona pin striping here in the Southwest USA.
Well done Kevin, every little bit counts mate.
Very informative, nice gold!
Been looking forward to your vid, thank you. Oh I noticed what looked like a broken taillight lens 🤪 or is that an optical illusion
cheers Mark
Had me worried there… :) optical illusion thankfully.
Awesome gold mate. Well done
Good video well done
Nice larger sbiny 🤞 can 40e permits overlap if other person was that close? Is tbere any pending that close? I getting ready too hows weather been? Cheers Mark ⛏️
Multiply section 40’s can be issued for the same area, I know the other prospector, he’s a friend so I’m glad he got onto the gold.
@@BKGoldDetecting that's good you knew him - some could get quite nasty im sure - be tough looking over your shoulder all the time? See Prospecting 101s last video
Another awesome informative video kevin stay safe and good luck
Thanks for making your great videos Kevin. Is that old goldrush workings or are those nuggets just naturally there?
The nuggets in this area aren’t associated with a working. They are randomly spread over the area. Some big ones have been found round here bug often lonesome nuggets with nothing else around.
@@BKGoldDetecting Thanks for getting back to me Kev. I hope you are having a wonderful time. Good on you.
Love your content I’m from Victoria hopefully go over there next year .how much are the car covers and where from
The protective panels aren’t cheap, $1500 - $2000, they are made by rhinohide.
Thanks mate got my fingers crossed you snag a clunker 👍will see you on the next video
Great episode tku. Can I ask a bizarre question if you pls. What boots are you wearing?
They are made by Oliver and have a composite toe cap so no metal. I love the zip on the side for easy removal.

I'm sure you've got it all worked out but I'm wondering what you do to stop yourself from getting lost. A GPS might get dropped and let you down so what are your tricks. Thanks.
Sorry for the late reply, I use the GPS on my detector as my main navigation, but also carry a seperate small GPS in my backpack as a backup. Also my iPhone which has GPS aps that don’t require internet access.
As a final backup a small compass and I always take note of the suns position in relation to my camp site.
It’s good to know landmarks close by such as a fence line etc. let’s say there is a track or fence line that runs east west near your campsite. If you are detecting south of it you know if you head towards the midday position of the sun you will hit that track or fence and then you can follow it.
Hope this helps.
Hi BK
I have not tried Deep Mode before on the GPZ, can your give any advice on settings or tips ?
PS. I've watched all your vids, this series helped me out of a dry run. CHEERS
Hi John, if you put the detector in “normal” mode instead of the default “difficult” it goes much deeper but will pick up a lot of ground noise and hot rocks. To reduce this you can select “extra deep” instead of “high yield”
This will pick up very deep targets that would be missed in the default settings.
I might make a video about this at some stage.
HI BK
I appreciate the reply to my Question, very good presentation and content makes viewing something i really look forward to. Thanks for the tips, no pressure for a video on that subject but ..... maybe.
I wish you both a patch, take care. CHEERS 16:50
