Metal Detecting - How to Find & Follow a Run of Gold Nuggets by Gridding Instead of Chaining

[@garyhughes4326]

Bloody great clip mate. Very informative for us novices. This KZbin caper is the best thing since sliced bread.

[@weekendwarriorprospecting817]

Thanks for the tips. Good luck in your search for glory 👍🏻⚒🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@chrisby777]

That makes so much sense. I've been watching an older guy in the US called two toes who grids only. Cheers Chris.

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

I use it a lot when the trees are tight and hard to get around. Glad you see the logic in it. Regards Aussie

[@dingydate]

Cheers mate , every little bit of info, helps.

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

You're welcome mate. Regards Aussie

[@peterwright4467]

Very very smart prospector you have done your time in prospecting and yes you never ask anyone where they found gold. When they ask you how much you've found just say "petrol money"

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

Cheers mate... lol....another good answer to that is, I ask them if they'd mind telling me their bank balance..... usually go strangely quiet after that... Regards Aussie

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

Enjoyed the video some great finds

[@rodwilson2114]

going to remember that gridding system thanks for the tip

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

You’re welcome. Yep... comes in handy where the Bush is thick. Regards Aussie

[@forwhatitsworth364]

Thanks. You have the best videos out there.

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

Cheers mate. Regards Aussie

[@TombstoneHeart]

There is an added benefit to this 'chaining' exercise and I was put onto it by an old Yamatje woman when I was a kid in the Upper Gascoyne. Dragging a length of chain through the bush causes small vibrations in the ground and snakes pick up on that and will usually leave the area. Good luck.

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

I never thought of that... it must work, because I rarely if ever see a snake when I'm chaining. Thanks for sharing. Regards Aussie

[@highenergyog]

very interesting video , thanks again for the great information .

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

+highenergyog Glad to help out. Regards Aussie.

[@frenchmansgully9668]

Very interesting and good to know 👍🏻

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

Glad you find it interesting. Good luck out there. Regards Aussie

[@richardrobertson1331]

I think marking the spots is important . . . I use wire flags. A cluster of flags, to me, indicates deeper digging in that area is probably worthwhile. Enjoyed your video. Cheers from Nevada (USA).

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

Yep it really helps you draw a picture of what's going on. All the best over there mate, Regards Aussie

[@YFZMoto]

Great INFO thanks.

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

+YFZMoto Your welcome mate. Regards Aussie.

[@jamiesuvo7420]

Thank you mate

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

You’re welcome. Regards Aussie

[@frankbyrd6726]

May have to get a metal detector for gold ... been a coin hunter since the 80's ... Nugget hunting seems like a natural path to branch onto

[@wayneschenk5512]

Very methodical.

[@timvivoda5208]

fantastic advice than you

[@RavenRaven-se6lr]

That’s a old term Chaining. Like your thinking 👍

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

It certainly does work. Regards Aussie

[@haroldharold3908]

more good info.. thanks

[@jamiecollon5503]

Hi Aussie, Do you mind sharing a little info on that particular location, you mention that it had been work by many others. I'm still learning and looking for a place to test ground and see what others have done etc. Thank you for your latest mountain gold vids, excellent work. I very interested in doing the tag along and may contact you next season.

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

Cheers for the thumbs up on the Mountain Gold Series. There is a cardinal rule in the prospecting world mate...never ask a prospector where he finds his gold, so sorry mate, no-can-do. All I can suggest is research mate. Regards John

[@bigbird8460]

@@AussieBlokeProspector mate can you give us any clue please? for example general area in western australia, it is a very massive place, i wanted to ask are you near the sunrise dam gold mine?

[@jdean1851]

topnotch Thanx! i'll try it here in Idaho

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

Good luck mate. Regards Aussie

[@finpainter1]

we do that detecting for float copper. good info.

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

+finpainter1 That's pretty interesting. Do you mean Native Copper. Pretty rare over here.

[@KarKav]

Hi Aussie. Great video.... many thanks! Quick question... do you always do your ‘chain walk’ first (say up and back)? Then, if you find gold, you start boxing?

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

Great question.. I only ever pull out a chain if I get 2 or 3 bits in close proximity and the ground is consistent. Regards Aussie

[@hudge2002]

Love all your videos brother, so much detailed and TRUSTWORTHY info! If you don't mind me asking, what kind of metal detector do you use? I have a Garrett AT Pro but never found a nugget! lol Thank you again

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

Glad you like 'em mate. I use a Minelab GPX 5000 and a Minelab GPZ 7000. Good luck. It will happen soon. Regards Aussie

[@2002Dewalt]

Fantastic info :)Did you see a change in the smoothness in the nuggets from one end to the other?

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

+2002Dewalt The nuggets were all about the same in smoothness.. but I get what you are saying. Regards Aussie.

[@stevennecic2106]

Hi I been watching you videos and I love it but can you tell me where are this spots ore place in WA and VIC ... can you give as direction how to find this spots you been great help if you can send me same information how and where is good place to Prospect thanks 🙏

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

There is an overwhelming amount of information on Gold localities available in Librarys and on the internet. Research where others have found gold. That is always the best place to start. Good luck. Regards Aussie

[@markissboi3583]

Try here (were Mad Max was filmed ) the street & station ( bubba) best after the wet and you pick up Nuggets below small hills but just dont go on peoples land plenty of spots off the road

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

Thanks for the tip mate. All the best. Regards Aussie

[@bigpoppajayjay2985]

do you encounter many snakes up there when your out and about, I'm in Victoria

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

Rarely. Regards Aussie

[@Smart-Skippy]

G'day mate! 1. Appreciate your videos. Thanks heaps. 2. I'm a city bloke, but wondered... does all the gold on or near the surface come in red dirt ? Lastly, where is the closest place to Perth that a person could look for gold, be it in water or like you do ? Thanks for letting me see a bit of West Aus from the Perth Metro area.

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

You're welcome mate. WA is particularly "red" compared to the east, however in both the far north of QLD and the NT, the gold can be found in similar red conditions. As for Perth, I believe Southern Cross would be one of the closest areas for detecting...as for creeks, I am not familiar with creeks near Perth. Regards Aussie

[@Smart-Skippy]

Dear Mr Bloke, thank you for your reply... Really appreciated. FYI south west wise, Boddington and Ravensthorp have gold. That said you probably know that, but in case you don't... I wish you the best in your prospecting and again... Thank you sincerely for your reply!!

[@tevfik1111]

Can you tell me exactly where this is place is please? I want to get this tenement for dry blower for this place if it doesn’t belong to anyone

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

Really??????????????

[@tevfik1111]

Aussie Bloke Prospector 😂😂😂

[@TheBlackAndGold11]

Did you continue to detect primarily in a generally straight line direction like you said you'd found these nuggets?

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

No, I threw grids out to all sides to make sure I didn't miss any - just turns out that these nuggets were essentially running in a line. Regards Aussie

[@tommejames8416]

Hi don't suppose you remember if they were running north to south , just a theory? cheers love the vids .

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

Tomme james as a matter of fact, I do. It was running north / south. Regards Aussie

[@patrickjobling8676]

Get amungst it mate ..😁

[@johnhenderson8360]

I like your idea of boxing, but couldn't you take it one step further and use a GPS mapping program. This would be even more meaningful in an area that hasn't been "picked over" (if there is such a place).

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

I like the idea mate, however virtually all GPSs on the market are accurate to 3 metres max, unless you are willing to part with literally 10s of thousands of dollars to get a GPS which will go down to about 30cms (usually used by surveying companies). At only 3m accuracy, I think it would be easier to just grid. ...and yes..there are still such places in WA. regards Aussie

[@ahmedabdi454]

The land looks like the Somali country, has the trees got thorns?

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

Yes, some trees are very thorny. Regards Aussie

[@TheBluesine]

Chaining and gridding,, ,Wow,, what a waste of time......

[@AussieBlokeProspector]

+TheBlues Ine I'd love to detect where you have been, because you've probably left behind a lot of gold. No one gets all the gold mate. If you think you do, then you're kidding yourself.
