259g gold specimen

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ค. 2013
- I found this gold speci at about 15 to 18 inches deep, Very faint signal at first before going to get the video which was about a kilometre away at camp. No old holes anywhere and I suspect a nearby reef or gold source, someone will find it one day.
A gold specimen is a rock specimen containing gold and in this case it held 29.5 grams.
This was my first large deep specimen and my learning curve continued. - บันเทิง
I'm an armchair fossicker and I really enjoy your videos taking me out to those beautiful places. Enjoy seeing the wildlife and mostly I enjoy watching without the constant bad language of some. Thank you.
Glad you enjoy Josie, its a great feeling being out there in such ancient land and the critters are a bonus, cheers NM.
Thanks for the fantastic vids and for giving me the desire to live my dream of prospecting again. You're a true inspiration and I look forward to more of your videos. All the best
Glad you enjoyed watching, cant wait for my next trip either, will try and record some more if luck permits, cheers and good luck.
As always - great! All at a high level!
May good luck accompany you!
Thanks mate, there is a fair bit of luck in prospecting so cheers and thanks again for watching, NM.
Looks great, congratulations from Germany. I´m planing a trip to Australia this year,
but i´m not sure if its going to be Queensland or WA, what would you suggest for a Quad-bush-detect adventure?
Gidday Marcus, both states are great for gold, l believe WA is more expansive and flat, ideal for quads, best luck and thanks for the comment
New Zealand👍
Well???
Did you find the gold bonanza???
Should i come and find all the tiny nuggets you left?
Great job noticing that faint signal..fantastic reward!
What gold detector do you use? And what one would you recommend getting as a beginner?
good workmate and what a great find thank you for the video

A very rare find, thankyou for sharing
Glad you enjoyed, cheers NM.
you must have enjoyed it more
:)
I did but cant believe l threw it away first up, guess l wasn't expecting something that size, had me scratching my head for a while, thanks for watching, cheers NM.
Check out this cool new mining invention, it's a foot powered classifier screen -- th-cam.com/video/6TzONtfLoW0/w-d-xo.html

there were no holes around just an old track with wagon ruts in it, I spent 1 week rating the area and will give it more time some other day as I did discover something interesting that I will post in a few weeks.

im a cane toad mate, and I go to Leonora, WA, you do need permission for most areas, but that's just a bit of ground work, hope that helps and good luck.
had my headphones on and your video had me swatting at invisible flies...nice find by the way...
+superlucky28
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed the vid, the flies are like nothing l have ever seen before and they love the camera,
thanks for watching NM.

Excellent video mate I liked it :)
aw wanted to see it all cleaned out. Great find. I knew as soon as you said this rock is heavy that something was in it. You should be on the Aussie gold hunter show. Im obsessed with all the gold shows.
Gidday, l uploaded a vid called "Dollying the 259g gold specimen, it held 29.5 grams, nearly an ounce, hope you get a chance to see it, l am currently back in the gold fields trying to find more gold and make some more vids so hang in there because l have more coming after this season, cheers for watching, commenting and really glad you enjoyed, NM.
What kind of machine do you use to find the gold what's a good one for a beginner
That metal detector was possessed
Nice find you got there ! Cheers !
Really enjoyed your video all the best hope you find heaps more
you really enjoy that annoying sound from a Minelab GPX 5000? XD I don't
Love to see that everyone is baffled once in a while in this game, not just me!! Nice job.
WHAT A GREAT CLEANDUP PIECE!
+J Dean
love that seahorse.
friend,, where I found this mesin?
so how do you get all the gold out of it :)
do you need contracts to prospect for gold ?.
Hey mate, where you from? which part of Australia? and the places you go where are they? obviously not asking for the exact location but which town or suburb?
Cool, I'll look forward to seeing that. what camera do you use..?
Used to work in two gold mines just nearby. I'm sure you know the two. Good to see that you can detect there. Looks like it's sitting in a bunch of carbonate?and possibly quartz.
what brand and model is your detector? thanks
where can I buy a genuine metal detector?
the detector has a rechargeable battery, it can be recharged using 240v or 12v.
My two favorite things gold prospecting and bee keeping 👍
Yeah, the bees are worth their weight in gold mate !
Well played mate. it's good to see someone get a good find ! bravo, well done.
+Alexpmgr8 is cool glad you enjoyed, cheers.
It's cool ! I am disabled or i'd give it a go myself. lol So the thanks is mine nuggetmagnet.
+Alexpmgr8 is cool
Always cool to show off the great Aussie Outback, really glad you enjoyed it, cheers NM.
definately one of the greatest places on earth.
NM , nice find ! Mel
Yeah, new spot and first signal
i wouldn't break it. keep it as it is, beautiful.
what detector did you used in this video?
Thanks for shearing wit us..but I just to know how much is it sold that detector
No worries mate, the detector is a MINELAB GPX 4500, it cost me $5400 AUD, in 2008, you can buy second hand also, thanks for watching and commenting, l hope you enjoyed, cheers NM.
That's a ripper. Well done.
I'd like to see what that looked like after an acid bath to dissolve the matrix.
Or did you crush it and pan it?
Yeah it went in the dollypot for crushing, should have kept it whole but very little visible gold and great fun panning out the gold, you can see it here if you like th-cam.com/video/00qdDo_K0iQ/w-d-xo.html
cheers NM.
wow what a keeper. good find mate, enjoyed
Thanks Alexander, glad you enjoyed mate, cheers NM.
When you find pieces like that one, is it worth panning the dirt that was around it? I've often wondered about it.
Cggg
What are you wearing around toyr ankles? What purpose do they serve?
CRITIC RATED :AS MOST EXCITING VIDEO WINNER THUMBS UP W/ A BEAUTIFUL ROCK!
J Dean I was scratching my head there for a while till the penny dropped, l had only been in the area for a few hrs and never being there before l wasn,t sure there was even gold there, so it was a surprise, a little embarrassing, oh well, just uploaded a vid this morning, you will have seen 75% of the nugs already but you will love my mate at the end who hung with me for weeks, followed me like a dog, glad you enjoyed the suspense, cheers.
How r the flies treating u mate?
Now where's that reef, indeed..!
Well done, good on you.
Nice specimen, how much shiney though?
Sorry about the late response James, takes me a while to catch up after being bush for so long, it had 29.5 grams of gold or almost one ounce, cheers and thanks for watching, cheers NM.
What is the name of this detector machine ? Need one..
I call that a ripper , despite being a big specimen. Well done Son !!!
Great find on its own but it showed gold in the immediate area, found some nice nuggets here also, this would be a good place to revisit with a 7000, glad you enjoyed, cheers NM.
Awesome find, where there's one got to be more ,keeping the dream alive.
It was awesome, l knew it was there somewhere, cheers mate
What is brand of of the hat and bug net you're wearing? What about the boot gaiters? Thanks.
Gidday, the hat is from tackle world, its a fishing shop, the rest you can get from most camping stores, cheers NM.
Cheers!
CONGRATS! ENJOY
🙋💤💤💤💤 loved the cool little face in the rock thanks for the view mate James Kansas City Missouri USA
Glad you enjoyed James, every piece is different, l hope you have time to view pt 2 of my 2017 season, it has my best specimen yet at 249 grams, well best to look at, cheers NM.
Nice find, what coil you using there?
What’s suspicious about finding big nuggets is after a nugget is found the prospector doesn’t run is metal detector back over the hole he dug to see if there are any other nuggets. Strange isn’t it
Oh yes we do, my record is eight and last year hit a hole with four and lm not talking golf, cheers mate and check out 2017 pt 2 to ease your suspicions.
Fantastic definitely exciting find
I reckon, just came out of the bush today with more great finds, should start uploading in Sept, took your advice and some hand cream, cheers NM.
great find are u still in wa
So how exactly does one go about separating the gold from the rock in this case...Or is it worth more as it is? Do you have to do some sort of specific gravity test to figure out the weight of gold in there? I have no idea what I'm looking at.
nymetswinws check out my other video, "dollying the 259 grammer" it shows you the process, cheers NM.
I see now! thanks for the response :D
Hi. Nugget Magnet. What's up with your Truck did you get it fixed ?? Do you have any more Videos planned . Thxs. Dave ??
+David Black
Gidday Dave, finally got it back and 2nd test drive the alternator bracket he fashioned sheared the bottom 2 studs, there are 4 studs but he only used 2 of them, bet he doesnt try that again, should head off next week now thats fixed, l definitely packed the video and hope to get some good footage, l will go off air while l am gone as there is no coverage, should be back around sept, its all luck from here including the truck actually making the trip, cheers mate and best wishes, NM.
Pliz tell us the setting of the detector you are using
Gidday, watch this video for my settings, cheers NM. th-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=LTI-PsNr0No
I see it like a gold-embedded stone / stone mixed with gold in it, will later this gold specimen be melted, to separate the stones and gold?
Thats correct mate, its a gold specimen not a gold nugget, l have crushed and panned this specimen and have included a link in the comments section to that video just recently so you should find it, or you could google "crushing the 259 gram gold specimen" and you should find it, cheers for the good comment and thanks again for watching, cheers NM.
I am learning to investigate all noises, sometimes the fainter the better.
thats a skull, that is bone and even more it looks like a small dynosaurs head , pause the video at about 6 minutes and fifty seconds, that could be worth millions if it is desired by some one
so how much gold was actually there in that piece..??? txs an thumbs up from ..

Lake, George, NY
Thanks for the thumbs up, it held 29.5 grams, l videoed crushing and panning it here studio.th-cam.com/users/video00qdDo_K0iQ/edit
hope you get a chance to watch and if you like the specimens you might enjoy this video, studio.th-cam.com/users/videoxAa42c7w0gk/edit
Glad you enjoyed, cheers NM.
Thanks for the thumbs up, that speci held 29.5 grams and you can watch here

if you like the specimens you might enjoy this beauty that held 95 grams
th-cam.com/video/xAa42c7w0gk/w-d-xo.html
hope you find time to watch, cheers to Lake George, NY.
so is that worth more as a rock or should you ceush it and gather the gold out of the rock?
Depending on gold visibility, this specimen held almost an ounce but was within the rock so it went to the crusher, stay tuned soon for a nice big keeper, one worth selling as a specimen, cheers NM.
That's a nice piece
Standard of Gold weighs 31.1 grams per Troy ounce. An I right or am I right? So, you have to perform a complex weigh-in for specific weight using a balancing sling in water to find the amount of gold and the amount of other rock. A complex mathematical computation must then be calculated to find the specific weight of gold contained in the rock.
You are right, the maths are fairly easy once you have the wet and dry weights, l did upload a video on specific gravity tests in 2017 if you have time, cheers NM.
Yes I did and I watched several other demonstrations and was kinda overwhelmed as it’s a balancing act too haha fun stuff.
All the hot rocks should you take them home and dolly them just in case their is gold in them?
Tassie Jeff l dont bother with anything that sticks to the magnet, you can end up with pockets full otherwise, plus you can normally ground balance hotrocks out, cheers.
What a find!
Beautiful
what a beauty! cheers from Idaho brutha!
Gidday JD, l wont forget that dig, l really thought it was going to be a nugget, l guess summer is over for you now and the snow is on the way, it has been very wet and wild over here, 22 high tension power lines came down in a tornado like event last night blacking out 90% of South Australia, the center which is usually desert is now a lake, tried for the west again this yr after waiting over 7 months for car repairs, made it 2000km,s when the top pulley flew off destroying everything so truck back in the workshop being rebuilt again and near sending me broke, l guess my luck has run its course, hope you got that new detector of yours dirty and had some luck, cheers from down under NM.
just wrote a novel and got zapped b4 i could send it to you.
sad to say I TOLDYA SO! bout your van.
4me new work new girl and new house closing on it next week! but been studying ore genesis feverently! i know more about gold NOW than 99% of the people breathing! And sinse we first met....matter a fact i stumbled onto what ive been looking for since i started studying geology just in the last 72 hours! a competent geologist that knows my area! ive read a half a dozen technical geology reports written from 1929-1950 by A.L.Anderson who died in 1964....he just lined me out on exact locations and geology for 3 of the five districts near me! example: 1870 prospectors walked into a narrow gulch and found a slab of quartz 18inchhes thick and 150 feet long up against a bluff .showing free gold..the footwall had long eroded away into the vallley below and with pick and bucket they easily chipped the gold ore into buckets.....guess what it assayed? try 10 oz. gold and 1000oz. of silver per ton!!!! Bonanza Ore! started 1 coplete district......its 300k from here but theres 80 mines there in 3x 6mile area.....that have been sitting idle! i also read the report for the district 60k from here and got exact !!!! locations of the best area! all in the last 3days...........Talk soon .....your a key part of my evolution into this Sport! Cheers its 80f today....snow 45days away tho. and im moving 600feet higher next month to a town of only 300. jd
elevation 3900ft
J Dean Nice, research is knowledge and helps to point you in the right direction, 300 km,s is close enough for weekend hits, there might be lots of fine gold there in depressions, definitely a great sounding place, l cant wait to hear what you find, good luck ,NM.
is this metal detector is got rechargeable battery or u buy new ones every time
Rechargeable battery, about 8 hrs of use before recharging again, cheers mate.
I was riveted to your video. As a new starter wannabe prospector I am sucking in everything I can find on youtube. What detector do you have? 15 - 18 inches deep is pretty good for gold, right?
Gidday Douglas, its a Minelab GPX 4500 with a 17 x 11 nuggetfinder mono coil, 15 to 18 inches is good and tells you your detector is tuned properly, cheers NM.
What's that stuff on your head and back?
Gidday, hat, headphones, or possibly a fly net, cheers NM.
Awesome Bro!
how deep did you have to dig?
phenomenal!
Went back there again last yr for 2 days, snagged a 7grammer and its where l filmed the Grey Currawong, the best camping spot, deep ground, gotta love it, cheers.
grey C x butcher bird cross?
What kind detector do you used. ?
Its a Minelab GPX 4500, cheers NM.
I think you had a hard time locating it because the detection waves extend down from your coil in the shape of an inverted cone. When you tilt your coil like you were doing, the detection "cone" is pointed to the side.
Keep the coil flat and get a pinpointer for holes like that.
Good call Steven, lt was a learning curve that one, cheers again for the tip mate, NM.
NICE , A FAIR bit of quartz in there as well mate, did it end up in the dolly pot.?
That one did mate, not enough visual gold, l uploaded crushing it, "Dollying the 259 gram gold specimen", l like crushing and panning so not many escape the dolly, cheers mate
What is that cord hanging off your detector shaft for?
Probably the bungy for my hipstick
How can I get this machine
Want type of a machine is that?
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Not a problem mate, glad you enjoyed, cheers NM.
Are you in west aut Russell???
Hi carol, made it across the border about 4 wks ago, ended up going the long way thru the NT after the border closed down south, great to be here, cheers Russell.
Hi again carol, hope you got to see the video l recently uploaded, l dont think youtube sends notifications any more, cheers Russell.
Wow thanks for sharing your videos😍
Your welcome mate, cheers for the positive feedback, NM.
I will leave it in one piece for now, tough decision to make.
dinosaur face at 6.55
How do you get the gold out of the rock?
You can watch here if you like, th-cam.com/video/00qdDo_K0iQ/w-d-xo.html
cheers NM.
What detector are you using bro?
lts a Minelab GPX 4500 with a 17x11 inch mono nuggetfinder coil, good depth and sensitivity, l also uploaded a video about the settings l use, cheers NM.
Planted. Still fun to watch. You can see its predisturbed ground by how easy it was to dig as well.
I love you guys, geological experts! explain this one, th-cam.com/video/xAa42c7w0gk/w-d-xo.html, cheers NM.
Hey don't forget to get back to me, you will be the first.
Dang I didnt think I'd get the actual producer. I was honestly just kidding around to see if some dummy would agree with me lol. Sorry if I pissed you off. I was jk
@@Dbjjr26 No worries but pt2 of my 2017 season was another gold specimen that took 7.5 hours to recover, solid rock, l just like to make sure people have all the info first, cheers NM.
@@TheNuggetMagnet yeah I was joking I watch a lot of videos. Yours was one of the few that actually was noticeable a genuine find. I was just setting a troll trap lol. Love these videos they're intriguing to watch. I'm considering buying s metal detector myself one of these days and tinkering around the lake by my house.
I love the Aussie geology
Lol I'm sitting here screaming THE ROCKS THE ROCKS!!!
hahahhaha same here man
Hello everyone, this video is about a gold specimen not a gold nugget, a gold specimen is rock containing gold and this particular specimen (rock containing gold) held only 29.5 grams of gold, almost one ounce which is still a good find at todays gold prices, you can watch me crush and pan out the gold here th-cam.com/video/00qdDo_K0iQ/w-d-xo.html l apologise for any confusion and hope this comment clears it up, thankyou NM.
Salute
How can someone tell it's gold? By the pitch of the metal detector sound?
Gidday Christopher, with practice you will come to learn the signals the detector is putting out, for example most low high signals will be gold, this is based on a low high signal indicating the target is at depth as opposed to a shallow target which will give off a high low signal, its not a fool proof theory but tends to be correct 90% of the time, cheers NM.
Can I get this machine in Morocco and how much it cost
Its a MINELAB 4500, l have no idea if they sell them there, cheers NM.
Awesome find! 😎✌From: 🇺🇸
A lot of gold there in Australia eh?
Yeah, had a couple of other nice finds in this area and will post soon. Love those deeper targets.
Hello from Russia🇷🇺, i am watching for you, big gold and happy😊 🇷🇺💪🤣
Lol! Thats awesome...about the time i discovered that gold...and stuck it in my pocket...one of those inland tiapan snakes would bite me in the big nose!..just my luck
