Detecting for gold in Nevada

[@DronerArt]

I love the Nevada desert areas. Finding old artifacts, prospecting, or flying my drone, I always have a great time. Wind and weather can get harsh, so one needs to go prepared. There’s something wonderful about the solitude the desert offers. Great video.

[@MericaAdventures]

Morning all. I’ve been waiting for this video. Such a great week of camping and being free with no cell phones. Was a trip of a lifetime finding gold and having fun with friends And happy bday Gary ! 👍🇺🇸⚒🍀😎

[@ancientbedrock9366]

@Jeff The largest Gold mine in Nevada. Is the Goldstrike Mine the largest gold mine in North America. It is located in Eureka County, right in north-eastern region of Nevada ??? Is Gary tired of California Gold or just the politics 😂 ? He’s sniffing out a new claim in a new state 😂😂😂 Two Toes only goes to where the gold is 😎 Looked like fun ! even with the weather ? 😎

[@insidebendprospecting]

It always amazes me where gold can be hidin, looks like a really fun place to detect. Thanks for the video Gary, glad you guys had a great time

[@kathleentucker1238]

G'morning! What a great time! Thanks for honestly sharing the highs & lows of a good prospecting trip. A great time out in nature with friends is the best gold of all! Thanks & happy birthday! May all your birthday wishes come true!

[@gardenwaster]

Thanks for leaving your nugget jar out there, finally us guys have a chance to find some gold

[@MayhemProspecting]

In the outdoors with the boys can never go wrong! Thanks for sharing Gary, excited to see you again at the nugget hunt right around the corner! Hope all is well brother

[@dphxtruthresearchradio869]

I just got my gold monster and I'm currently up in the high desert apple valley ca, decided to check out a few of these hills around here, Bad move, this was a western type Roy Rodgers area and if lead and bullets were gold, I would be king.

[@GazzaJollyRoger8152]

💯Cool gold camping trip, weird weather, oh man that stinks you lost that bottle, Just ordered some tools from you're web page the other day, looking forward on using them here in the Green mountains! Semper Fi!

Oh man that reminds me of the vile I lost with a half ounce of gold in it. Great video. Happy you had a nice trip.

[@robklein583]

Thanks Gary. I'm sitting here at home shivering and aching all over with a flu bug or maybe covid. But watching your video made me smile for twenty minutes and forget the rest. Maybe in a week I can get back to detecting here in Ontario. Stay safe.

[@jedeye825]

your videos are on my top favorite on YT this year, the first one I ever watched was actually you out on the boat fishing... 👍 have much enjoyed all your content.

So envious of you Gary and friends... Would love to get away and just camp .

A little hint next time. Park the trucks in a v and put bags under them to block wind from camp. It helps a ton. I bring extra tarps for that occasion

[@robklein583]

Hi guys. A question for the group. We all know that the further the gold travels down a river the smaller the pieces get and the more rounded they get. But nobody ever says how far is far. Is the larger gold found in the first 1000 feet from source or the first ten miles from source? I just need to know approximately as I intend to do some detecting downstream from a side moraine left by a glacier. The moraine is only about a thousand feet wide and runs for several miles with streams and a few rivers cutting through it. Thx for any expert opinions given.

[@melvinroehm821]

Life detecting in the desert. 99.9 percent iron...1 percent gold.lol.it is fun thow as long as u find a peace now n then.great video garry

[@jamesarseneau5623]

James Arseneau Hi Gary, Thanks for such great videos highlighting the technics that you use. My wife and I enjoy tremendously the videos that you post. That being said I am going to purchase a metal detector and based on what I have read and you have shown, the Minelab SDC2300 seems to be a great all around detector. What other accessories would you recommend purchasing for the SDC2300? Headset, coils etc Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Keep those videos coming. They are super informative and very interesting.

[@TwoToes]

Get a good set of headphones. The Koss headphones that came with mine were terrible, threw them in the garbage and have been using my Nugget Busters.

[@jamesarseneau5623]

@@TwoToes Thanks for this tip. Also, where would you recommend I purchase the Minelab 2300 from?

[@TwoToes]

@@jamesarseneau5623 A locale dealer that can help you learn the detector.

[@jamesarseneau5623]

@@TwoToes Hi Gary, which online dealer for Minelab detectors would you recommend? The local dealers for me are over three hours away and they do not stock many of the detectors to try out. I am leaning toward the Minelab 2300

[@garyrathbone4586]

Did ya check under your tent?

[@uwillnevahno6837]

Is it possible to save time by identifying iron targets prior to all the digging and sifting by sweeping the location w/a magnet?

[@mikeblair2594]

Hey Garry, what kinda tent was that and what did it cost ya? That's my burning question. My father and I did a lot of prospecting in the high desert, mainly for load deposits, but breaking out the detectors is a lot of fun. And it'll snow any time of year. Fun watching your video. Thanx

[@TwoToes]

The tent is a Springbar made in the USA. Bought it around 10 years ago for $750 - 800. It is a great tent!

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

Put a small brass cat collar bell in the snuffer bottle. It'll make you feel proactive! 😃

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

I’ve got to say my friend, that intro was awesome 😎

[@jimmeyer282]

You teach me much. Here's a little in return. Turn your chairs over when you aren't sitting in them. That keeps the snow or rain away from your Butte !

[@landofsaguaros8330]

You're a great sport Gary. You didn't even mention what your total might have been including the gold that you lost. Bummer on that though, but I'll bet it will never happen again!

[@alecfleming3213]

I was wondering why I didn't see y'all around... Stuck in Placerville still xD Webber Creek is giving me a hard time, not to anything but getting to the location. Tough path, so, tips on that? I found a perfect bedrock spot for crevices, but it's so so hard to get to.

[@Rustytales]

Hello Gary. I watch your videos and I love how you do it. I found your channel because I was looking for information about the SDC 2300. I see that you still use this metal detector. Could you please tell me if this is worth the money or now after some experience with this device you would choose something else for the same money? I used only X-terra 705 and now I want to buy something more serious. I like the SDC 2300 because it is foldable and waterproof. I also considered the Garrett ATX, but for some reason I like the SDC 2300 better even though I haven't used any of them. Perhaps there is some similar device that is better than these two? Could you advise something when buying an SDC 2300? I heard there are improved versions. Is this true and which version is better? I will appreciate any advice.

[@TwoToes]

You should pick your detector to match the type of detecting you will be doing the most of. Example - when we were in Nevada, I would have loved to have a 7000 with a large loop. But the SDC2300 is perfect for 90% of the detecting I do. When you get my age being able to fold the detector and put it in the pack is a large plus. When both hands are free you fall less!

[@Rustytales]

@@TwoToes Thank you Gary for your reply and advice! I think that the folding design is always convenient at any age. I used a non-folding detector and I never liked it because of the bulky design. Waterproof is also a big plus. Today I bought my SDC 2300 just a few hours ago and brought it home. Haven't unpacked yet. Looking forward to tomorrow to unpack it and try it out. :-)

[@chrisstrobel3439]

Gary in the future you should write your name and address on your nugget bottles with a sharpie so if you loose em and somebody finds em they can mail em back to ya 🙄 Seriously though that’s a bummer, I know the feeling, I left a plastic vial with my test nugget in it on a rock in the Mojave as I went chasing a tarantula, by the time I got bored with the tarantula I’d forgotten about the test nugget bottle and only remembered I’d left it on a rock a couple hours later when I needed it again .. never did find it .. but I’m hoping another prospector eventually found it and made his day. 🤠👍
