- How to find gold nuggets with a metal detector in the desert of Arizona.
Using the Fisher God Bug 2 and GPX 5000 with a Nugget finder EVO Coil 8 X 12 - บันเทิง
good advice sonny Jim .... we also like to sample pan the bedrock to be sure ....real curious about the New 6000 coming out ....look like test pits .... nice Nuggie there ...always love the thrill of the hunt ....good job and keep'em coming
Yeah Jeff, we often check for fines .....Thanks for watching !
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK you betcha
Boys ive only been panning two months I have a nice little collection started but already hungry for nuggets thats why im here tired of wasting my time with flour gold and tiny pickers i want corn flakes 😂
Agreed! I bought the gold monster 1000 almost a year ago and I found my 1st gold nugget last week!
Thats awesome! Its a milestone, and there will be many more
I been looking for gold monster 1000, they run around 1400?
@Jon Curley I bought mine for around 800.oo from a ABC prospecting in Phoenix AZ
@@michellerusso7510 thank you. I am up here in Canada. I'd love get my hands on gold monster 1000. Thank you
Thank you again for the video. Much appreciate your time in doing these!
✌️
Thank you so much for watching , I appreciate it.
Thanks Adam once again handing out pro tips for free! You rock stay safe.
Hi Craig, good to hear from you ! Warmer days right around the corner !
Great video and info, been looking for 3 years but nothing yet, but after your video I have changed the way I go about the way I look. Thank you very much.
Wow thank you so much! I really appreciate that. Don’t give up. It’s all about where and how you look with a detector
That bug came with you to the next gully 😁
Back to Basics! Excellent video, Thank You for posting 👍
Exactly ! Thank you so much
good job man! and a lot of work!! Thanks for sharing your detecting and work with us!
Thanks for stopping by !
Thanks for the tips, Jeff!
You bet!
"Oh yeah, it's gold!" Adam, as usual, a fun and informative video. Keep 'em coming! HH Jim McCulloch
Thanks again Jim ! Glad you watched the show
Have a GM1000. Have only been out a few times and have not found gold yet, but still learning. Will be out again soon. Thanks for sharing your persistence! :-)
The best part is knowing you have a detector that will find the gold. now its just lots of walking around ...Best of luck !
Really enjoy your videos Adam and actually watch the whole thing lol, a good educational flick!
Excellent Bill, thank you so much ! 👍
Excellent, informative video!!!
Well done!!!
Thank you ! Glad you enjoyed !
Have a gold bug never found a nugget, But good for locating bedrock heavy mineralization spots where you can test pan for gold. Makes search process easy. Also can locate heavy mineralization spots on gold vein.
Awesome!
Great video.
Thanks for the visit ! Good luck out there
thank you for sharring the information.Great video.
Thanks for watching!
Great teaching video, thanks helps a lot for rookies like me new to detecting! Have been using your technique around Havasu.
Nice area to detect an thanks for watching !
Really enjoy your videos thanks I’ve subbed! Agreed about your Detector thinking! Good learnin
Thank you so much !
Thank you so much Adam! Very good points Keep It Simple is always a great way to git it dun
Awesome ! Thats the point , just have fun and stick to the bedrock with the vlf`s ...
Very informative and useful video. I'm next door in NM but lived in the Preskit area back in the 90's and did a fair amount of prospecting with a rocker box and pan back then. Found a fair amount of gold too. My son still lives there so I come out to visit fairly often. I may spend some time out prospecting next time out. Looking forward to using my Equinox 800 for some gold prospecting out here in NM. I liked and subscribed. I've watched several of your videos now. Keep up the good work.
That's awesome! Thank you so much for your subscription 👍
What part of NM? I from Santa Fe, but live part-time in San Francisco.
Good work. Those are my favorite places under the rocks.
Thanks !
Right on, great job as always 👌👊
Thank you so much ! I wouldnt mind if it started warming up a bit
Great instructional video. Good advice as well. Best of luck.
Thank You !! Best wishes for a golden year !
Persistence pays off congrats on the nugget thanks for all the hard work you did ( placing) in order to share it with us.couldn’t agree more about a good detector 👍🏻 see you on the next one👊🏻
I appreciate it ! Are you going to the AMRA outing ? I may pop in
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK is that tomorrow? If so I’m working so no 😡 would be great to meet up with you in person sometime 👊🏻
@@48thstateprospecting No , its next weekend in Morristown. Im not 100% sure im going though.
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK thanks for the heads up I had noticed bill southern mentioned it but the link he had posted wasn’t working for sign up. P..S I still think about that monster nugget you pulled out a couple weeks ago lol crazy
Great finds enjoyed watching
Glad you enjoyed , Thank you !
New subscriber don't usually watch the larger channels anymore but everyone started small. Enjoying your videos thus far
Thank you so much ! I really appreciate your time 💌
Thanks for the wise words and video😎
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it !
Good advice. Equally important is to know the area. I prospect the area where my family had a producing mine in the 1880's.
Cool! Good to know how you use the Gold Bug / GB2 VLF for a specific purpose: finding those tracer nuggets. Definitely owe you a thanks for your advice on detectors. Always wondered why you and Jeff dual-sport GB2’s AND Goldmonster PI’s too.
The more you know! 🙌🏼💫😂
Great video!
Thank you so much !
A new gold channel woohoo! Greetings from Australia guys!Conditions look so similar to here.
Thanks for watching! We really appreciate it !
You said it best! I bought a minelab vanquish 540 and it is a decent detector. But I wanted the gold monster 1000. After 2 weeks with the 540 I decided to get the gold monster and it is a far better gold finding machine! I want a gpx 5000 and am saving up for one of those. I am still fairly new to prospecting but I love it!
Yeah, the 5000 is probably worth saving for . I bought mine used so it wasnt to much of a hit to the pocketbook.
Thank you so much for watching!
Nice info. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful! And thank you for watching
I’ve owned a gold bug 2 I found it really frustrating trying to use it I found lots of hot rocks and boot tacks
I recently bought the Garrett at max I find it to be a good all around detector not bad for gold prospecting also
Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge
Thank you !
I love the video and I learned something. Thank You / Subscribed 👍
Excellent, I really appreciate that!
love your video
Thank you so much ! I appreciate that
I really like the test nugget suggestion! Got me a small coiltek coil for my tdi, before my last trip, mainly for bedrocking n my dwasher tailings... but i forgot to bring my test nuggets, errrrr. Ha.. great tips Adam.. im definate getting a vlf soon.. always someone without a detector when i go.. ( my nephew dragged my pin pointer over Every Rock n Crack he saw last trip) lol, very suprised it didn't get a hole in it... after paying $200 for my coil, hmm?
that could of been $200 towards a new VLF detector.. haha i dig your channel, always informative....
Thanks so much ! A good VLF is a great tool to have around
Good video keep them coming
Thank you , I appreciate that !
Nice lil bugger. Very informative. I'll keep trying. I have the GM 24K. Hope it does the job.
Ive never tried it, but it does find gold from what I hear
thank you for the videos
Thank you for tuning in , I appreciate it!
Great stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing...
I agree with you, spend the money on a proven machine. I purchased a gold bug 2 a couple of years ago. I've taken it out a handful of times and still waiting for my 1st nugget. Thanks for the tips and your videos.
If you are in a known gold area, stick with it ,and stay on bedrock for your best chances ...No BS
Just watched this video again. My brother and I have been going out every Sunday for the past 2 months. We go to GPAA claims since we're members and neither of us has found gold with our detectors. We find the trash though but keep trying. Love your videos, very informative. All you guys inspire us. Thank you.
Good info! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! and thanks for tuning in !
Well done & said . Lol I miss radio shack , I'm still bumping some big speakers I bought in the early 90s😅
Why does that NOT surprise me ha ha ..... Super wet & snowy out isnt it
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK Then planning all week to go to a guy's private claim in the bradshaws that's really good But not happening now!😂
Many THANKS for an INFORMATIVE VIDEO!! You worked DAMM HARD for that Little PICKER!! NamVetLesTreasureSeeker.
Thanks 👍 I really appreciate your input !
nice education , it simplify work, welcome Tanzania bro
Thanks and welcome
Adam this is jason . You took out to check out one of ur claims. Thank you for being more informational in this video. Thats want people want is to learn from you
Thanks Jason ! Good luck out in the gold fields!
Excellent.
Thanks so much !
Good advice on the test nugget, your hard work paid off! Good find and great video. Just found my first nugget out prospecting ,crevicing the traditional way but I really want to save up for the gold monster, maybe when taxes get in lol
That is awesome! Thanks for watching ! The Gold Monster 1000 is an awesome machine if you really want to get into detecting.
Great video, I have been wanting to get back out there but my other half has cancer and I am pretty tied up taking care of her.... I recently purchased the GPX6000 and also have the Gold Monster 1000 and the Equinox 800. But until then I have the videos... Good luck hunting...
Life can certainly get in the way of someones hobbies. I`m a testament to that . Good luck out there !
Great info video. 🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it , Thank you !
Tidy vid
Thanks for sharing
Cool ! Thank you for tuning in , I appreciate it
Wow that is one big Rock!
We're going to be buying land around the Kingman area this fall, looking for around 100 acres. I can't wait to work it this fall!!
I was just in Kingman Friday.....Lots of potential up that way
Hi from Brisbane Australia🤗 yep so rite I've got gpz 7000 and gold monster 1000 Killer combo👌
Excellent , thank you so much for checking out my video!
getting it done fam. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
Damn I'm impressed on the size of the nuggie. Good detector! Prospecting like fishing you got to get out there if you want to find it and somedatpys you get skunked
You got that right ! Have to get off the couch
Hi hunters. Greeting from Albania (illyria) your hunting is beautiful.
Thank you so much , I appreciate your comment !
I use the Whites 24k and yes it does work pretty well!
Good to know, one day I will get my hands on one. Thank you for watching!
That was a loud signal for such a small nuggie! Anyway great video and happy hunting!
Thats the power of a GPX 5000 .....Thanks again for watching!
Very enjoyable video! I have the GM1000, and it’s still without gold. But man does it see all the hot rocks in my area.
You have the right machine for sure. Keep hunting on bedrock in known gold areas
Gpx machine with an nugget finder evolution coil is a wicked combo they nail the small gold at amazing depth
The coil is new to me , but so far it has proven itself as a fine coil
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK will be your new favourite coil in the correct depth of soil
Haha! I knew you had to move that big rock I would have done the same! Even if it appeared like it was going to be too big for me I was going to move it one way or another. I think the takeaway from this video for any new be watching is the first part of the video showing you how you maneuver your detector. Very slow very methodical covering every nook and cranny! It's not a game of covering ground it's a game of covering ground well! Good video!
Thanks Mike , I appreciate it !
I like hunting the bedrock and the benches. I would be curious as to what areas you qualify as a "bench" that is worth detecting. Maybe this could be demonstrated in videos. For me, I try to hit any flat area just above the primary wash. But I wonder about those higher benches, if you've had luck in the deserts. Stay safe out there, Adam. And thanks for the videos.
Thank you for tuning in ! I will keep that in mind for a future video, Benches are definitely great spots to detect .
Would you comment on purchasing a used Minelab PI? Like a GP3000/3500 trying to get the best bang for my buck without getting a divorce. And your channel rocks, keep it up. And maybe one day see you in the field.
So, if it were me I`d try to find a used 4000 on up.. If the 3500 has a ground balance handle on it I would consider that one too. There are many of these machines just sitting in closets , and im sure you could find one somewhere. Keep in mind, Minelab wont service those older units though, so buyer beware.
Im thinkiung the SDC 2300 and the monster for an all around good combo very expensive but im gonna get them used when i get ready to gear up for dry washing.
Start with the Monster. and the SDC has limitations like depth
Great advice Adam, is there still Radio Shack out there..Lol Thanks for sharing my friend..!!
Ha ha , I used to love that store ..!
such a beautiful channel you have here. l love all aspects of your channel,and am happy to subscribe here.l,m evo form Australia💓💓💓✌
Thank you so much , I appreciate it.
Good luck 😊
So ingot new GoldBug 2 yesterday morning and the 4x6 coil with coil cover,,,,arghh!!!!!! Darn coil cover is pre 2015 production, didn't know there was a difference. So I had to order a darn coil cover that is a new style for new coil she nce it was as redesigned, dang now I have to wait another week before I go nuggetshooting...
Im not sure the difference means anything
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK the coil cover I bought is a slight few mms off so it doesn't fit. I detected a bit without it carefully. I had to order the correct one for it,it fits now.performance was unaffected obviously,just an aesthetics thing for me.
I really learn from your videos....thank you!! Do you have any thoughts about the Minelab Equinox 800 as my primary VLF machine for gold?
Sorry, I have never used it. My understanding is that its an all around type machine. My problem is with the signal noise that it makes. Very odd , and not overwhelmingly clear or crisp. Personal preference I guess
😆- I remember like 16 years ago I spent my whole tax return of $750 on a VLF. I went right to the field feeling high and mighty, only to be told by a senior metal detectorist “you get what you pay for”. I quickly saved for a PI and it was night and day!
Ha ha ...Good to hear from you Bill.....Thanks for chiming in!
Serious? Why does everyone say to buy a vlf and not PI? Just bought a Makro Gold Kruzer, for 700, now I need a pulse induction detector?
@@Rosario360PNW Yes, if you are going to dedicate serious time to this hobby , then you will need a PI too
Another awesome teaching video! I just love how you have gone from just having videos of you guys finding gold. Is your pulse induction machine a 4500 or 5000?
Awesome , thanks . I thought id share some real advice or techniques. Most people are full of BS but these are real world tips...
That was a GPX5000
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK yeah, out of my league. I recently acquired a Minelab F3, which is supposed to be Superior in circuitry to the 2300 it was made for the military and used in Afghanistan and other places by for counter mining activities so I think I should be okay with it although it has zero features it is 5 lb of full blown pi and that's it. Thank you man for replying. Oh by the way with your new videos you have joined two toes as my top two guys!
Hello there, big fan of the channel !!😊
I own a minelab x-terra 705, bought it long time a go, just to hunt for lost jewelry at the beach back in Florida, but family move here to AZ , and I was wondering what do you think about the x- terra prospecting capabilities..🤔
Thank you in advance, keep it up with the good videos !! ✌
Ive never used the exterra ( we use gold specific detectors) But from what I understand, it can find shallow bigger gold, like half gram and up.
If you get into gold nugget hunting , its best to have dedicated nugget hunting detectors. or one for relics and one for gold.
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK Got it, thank you for the fast response, best of luck buddy, be safe !! ✌
Great vid man. I miss the washes of Arizona. Found my first 0.73 gramer near Wickenburg. I use the Whites GMT. I'm in So Cal and have some time off coming up here. Heading to the East Fork San Gabriel river to try my luck.
What do you use to edit your video (start/stop, music etc)?
A .73 is a nice nugget ! Well done ! I was east of wickenburg today with no luck. i use youtubestuio, videvo, and hitfilm express
Maybe you can do a video on the 5 best metal detectors for gold I been looking but I can't find any video I think it be good you talk informative
Great suggestion!
I like how u said well let's keep looking then u ended the video lol
Well I cant say much for my editing lol
got a gold monster. trying for tomorrow. traffic last weekend was down yo one lane on the 15N. miles of traffic. road construction. have a good day.
Hope you have some good luck ! Good choice on the detector!
Love your videos man! Question, when its cold out like this have you ever placered an area and uncovered a rattlesnake hiding away for the winter?
Thank you ! Nope , that has never happened lol
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK lol... I've uncovered a few lizards so I thought id ask...
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK y😂❤😮6😢
Nice info. Gold bug was the early champ but lots of GM1000 in the Az videos. Does the test nugget help on the VLS as well? Maybe helps teach the GM1000 what gold is compared to the ground you hunt. Or at least trains the human to hear the difference. Good tips.
I love my gold bug for a variety of reasons over the GM1000. The GM1000 is a great machine though, and can handle mineralized ground better than the gold bug II, and its easier to use which ads to its popularity. Yes, a test nugget would benefit with both machines.
Nice ♥️🙏
Thanks ✌️
Could it be you are in Arizona somewhere? Have the same detector I'm in Southern Ariz by the Border getting ready to go out looking. Enjoyed your video.
Yes , Arizona. Best of luck down there and be safe
I’m in southern AZ as well. I have a GMT. Do you belong to a prospecting or metal detecting club?
Nice jam with the Detector 11:57,…
I almost got the Gold Monster 1000, but want to do coins and relics too, so I got the Equinox 800, I also got the 6" coil for it too. I am going to use the money I get rich with the gold and coins to get the PI. Lol just kidding, but I am saving my $ for that GPX 6000. Great video.
You made a wise choice based on your needs.
Keeping it real 👍👍
Thank you ! No time to BS with nonsense
Good
I have a whites 24k gmt and it works great
Good to know! and thanks for chiming in !
Pursistance can really pay off,you proved it hands down.When done in the arrollo ,do you go up the banks onto the slope of the ravine? Just asking being a newby here.David out
Yes but the goal in new gullies is to find gold in the wash first , then you can branch out looking elsewhere...good to keep an open mind while prospecting
Nice Adam, inspired me once again to keep hunting and now that spring is looming around the next week and half!
I agree 100% dont buy just a metal detector,but a known good one from a reputable dealer who will be able to answer your questions when you have them. Whites 24K is an incredible machine I have it and continue to use it as my primary machine alone with my MX7, it's a shame that whites tanked and didn't pump more video into the 24K, it just goes to show you how lack of marketing can tank a really good product. For you GB2 Owners don't give up on that machine, learn it! Its one of the best proven vlfs out there!
Yes ! Spring is around the corner, cant wait as it snowed in northern AZ yesterday. Thank you for your input and best wishes for a great nugget year.
Хорошая работа 👍
Thank you so much!
My dad has the minelab sdc 2300 and we've found a few last year
Awesome! Thanks for tuning in 👍
Is the bench between the bedrock something you would bring the drywasher out for to clean that off? Or just leave it there and see if it traps more nuggets after the next wash?
Yes, it certainly could be a spot for a dry washer and a vacuum. If there was a huge flood , it would certainly leave more gold there.
Como eu faço pra comprar um detector da Fisher Gold bug2 ou Gold pro original porque aqui no Brasil tem muita imitação 🇧🇷
I wish I would have put more though in to it before buying my GTI 2500 . Because I having my doubts of finding any going with that . While I was up there I didn't see a whole lot of black sand where I went to bedrock is nice but if it's no black sand I keep going.
Sell it and get a Gold Monster 1000
Good video Adam. Sounds like my trips, lots of trash. I have the gb 2. I am in the Dewey area, am I wasting my time in this area?
No your not wasting your time. Lots of smaller VLF gold out there! Keep looking and get more remote if you can and stick to the bedrock.
Nice video, which model your gold detector?
Fisher Gold Bug 2
If you could recommend a beginner to buy either a GB2 or the Garrett at Gold which would you say is best?
Oh man thats a tough one. If you are looking for gold nuggets mostly , id say the GB2. Its gota learning curve but once your good with it , the GB2 is a much better gold finder. The best VLF for a beginner is the Minelab Gold Monster 1000 though. if you can save another 100 bucks , get the gold monster for sure
What coil are you using? I just got a used GB2 with a 6" coil. I think I would like a bigger coil for more depth. Good video. Thanks
Hopefully you got it for a good price. I only use the 6" coil on my gold bug II. The main reason is that it is more versatile when detecting bedrock. You will lose sensitivity to small nuggets with the bigger coil.
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK I think I got a good deal. $500 is what I paid and it works great. Thinking about buying the 10" elliptical coil. My claim has some gravel bars I'd try the bigger coil on. Thanks for the reply and I just subbed. 🇺🇸👍😎⛏
I'm in Tucson, just bought the Fisher Gold Bug Pro, is that sufficient? Great material! I subscribed!
Hi, normally it would be best to ask before you buy. The Gold Bug Pro will find gold, but its sensitivity to small nuggets and ease of use is not on par with the Minelab Gold Monster 1000
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK Thank you!
Adam,
Who makes those wide style picks? Thanks!
Howdy , actually they are custom made. Just a flat shovel welded to an old pick . Great for removing small amounts of overburden.
Great, thanks.
