I lived in alaska for almost 20 years. Went there on vacation and didnt leave for 20 years. Been to crow creek mine. And love alaska gold.

[@Klesh]

Yeah I can’t wait to go back. 14 day mandatory quarantine right now so I’ll wait

Any day at the creek or out with the detector is a good day! Now I’m off to my basement panning station to find more gold!

[@Klesh]

Sounds fun!

Shane, thanks for covering the operation of the Gold Monster. Cool stuff!

[@Klesh]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Love the Gold Monster and the "gold" setting will hear any non-ferrous target, not just gold, In all metal it naturally hears all metal. Keep it in balance and have fun! Come visit this Fall and give it a run, cheers

Thanks for the info and yes I will!

teach me obi wan, went to the claim this past weekend, found lots of metal trash, but no gold.

[@hooahextreme]

My GM 1000 found a good crevice a few days ago. Some tiny specks of gold. So small that the pinpointer did not find it.

@KleshGuitars heres a bit of an update on the scottish gold. Following Scotgold Resources auctioning in November 2016 of the first ever commercially-mined Scottish gold, extracted at Cononish near Tyndrum, the mining firm continues operations under agreement from Estate Scotland. The sale demonstrated the premium for Scottish gold, with an average price of £4,557.9 per ounce, 378% over the spot price on global commodity markets at the time of £953.

[@Klesh]

Very cool! I plan on visiting that area next time I'm in the UK

[@JustJeff420]

Looks like a great machine. I had a Minelab Sovereign Elite back in the day for my beach detecting. It finally gave in to the salt and stopped working. I still have it in the garage but no idea where to send it to get it fixed. Would love to get something like this to get back into detecting again. Good informative video Shane.

[@bricepodoll1849]

Would it be worth using the deep gold and metal setting digging it out putting it in your pan and then switching back to gold only over your pan? That way you don't have to pan it out necessarily unless you want the flower gold?

[@Klesh]

It's just faster to pan it all out.

[@stoneblz]

this looks like a lot of fun!

[@jimandrews9023]

As a testimonial to the sensitivity. I was working along the bank of a trout stream in Colorado, found a target in a sand/gravel bar. I dug down and finally got the target in my scoop, at least 6" below the surface. When I finally picked it out it was about a #16 trout fly. The GM 1000 detected that tiny hook under about 6" of sand and gravel

[@Klesh]

I believe that, it's a crazy machine.

[@ldcgold9907]

Nice vid bro, go the mighty monster 💪

🤙

[@kiwiking76]

Hey Klesh I need some spots to pan for gold near pikes peak. I’m here on vacation and already planned a few spots at clear creek. I seen cripple creek is that place any good? Let me know if there are better spots, thanks

Happy Friday Shane. A bad day in the field is better than a good day in the office. Best of luck in Alaska. I wish that I was going again this summer. Someday..

[@thesurfingprospector6345]

Yes it’s a dam good machine on fine gold I had one also Best way is to have it on all metal Get a target then flick it to gold If it goes wobble pop it’s gold Also in the creeks find the heavies then dig it And pan it works too We’re the heavies are like metal lead gold is too As you know Cheers 🍻 Shane Crouch

[@mretherrobertwarner5123]

I am not convinced seems like it actually had a hard time with that flake, always love the videos thanks

[@Klesh]

Compared to any other detector, this does the best job at finding small gold. The only other comparison is probably a falcon gold tracker md20, but they're handheld

[@andrewallen501]

If most of the black sand is magnetic, would it set off a very sensitive detector like that one?

[@Klesh]

Not if it's ground balanced.

[@KingLoopie1]

That was the other machine I was considering. I ended up going with the equinox 800 due to it having more general capabilites. It still detects a 0.24gr flugget on edge of flat at a few inches. The gold monster was definitely in the running and if I did more prospecting, it probably would've won out! 👍

[@Klesh]

With the 6" coil on the Equinox 800, it can detect lead BB's! The Equinox 800 is my most versatile machine, great for salt water beaches too.

[@KingLoopie1]

Is it possible for gold to get stuck inside the bedrock? Like not on the crevices, like actually embedded inside the bedrock?

There's trace amounts of gold everywhere so I'd say yes

[@rutoppgames3754]

How much does 1 flake weigh (average) And also I’m from Littleton so you got any good gold panning places I’ve tried clear creek eh tried Arapaho bar under construction and there’s nothing else

[@Klesh]

The flake I used as demonstration here was probably 0.01 gram. or less. Yes there's LOTS of places to pan for gold in the Denver area. Check out Keving Singel's book "Finding Gold in Colorado", there's hundreds of places listed there.

[@rutoppgames3754]

GOLD TEAM REWLZ!!!

[@zemetrius]

i have a piece of 30 mesh gold from a bag of paydirt, adjusted the settings after each failed attempt to locate using with the discriminator on and off. had the gain all the way up to auto 2, then back down to the bottom. i have another piece in a jar, GM sees the one in the jar, but the other one which is mixed in with material from my groups claim GM still does not see that piece. if people are using GM to find only nuggets, makes ya wonder how much (smaller than nugget) gold they are not catching with the GM.

[@Klesh]

That's interesting. Most likely mineralization and not ground balanced correctly. When I found a small flake (seen in my australia videos with busted knuckels prospecting) with the GM i was very surprised at how small the gold flake was. OF course it was on bedrock, without much mineralization interference.

[@bernardtrujillo4517]

There's a spot right by my old house in Lakewood it looks just the way the back round looks in the video I pan it all the time dont find anything that's the spot you told me to keep trying and I do i was wondering if you would have any time one day to go hit the water

[@Klesh]

The more you look, the better chance you have, good luck!

[@tm8951]

We (America) had some German POW camps (about 4 I think) around Colorado that might be fun to swing a metal detector around. If you can gain access to. I don't know if they will allow it or not. Have a good day, and good luck with the gold.

[@canaan5337]

Could be interesting at the very least you might find some silver coins or wheat pennies droped by American soldiers guarding the German prisoners back in the 1940s.

[@Klesh]

Correct! There's one at Fort Carson, another near Greeley, and two more I think southern part of the state. Would be cool to get permission for those!

Gold Monster is a Kick Butt machine to be sure. I'll keep suffering along with My Whites GMT. Quite sure it would keep up with it on the fly poop gold . Also has Black Sand Tracking. Yea it's a bit heavier then your machine. But that's what I could afford at the time.

[@Klesh]

If it works then great!

[@susanbdusan2785]

Is the Gold Monster also useful for metal detecting?

[@Klesh]

It's a great detector for very small gold. I wouldn't use it for relics, due to the small coil size and lack of discrimination settings.

[@susanbdusan2785]

@@Klesh Thanks.

[@noearielerazocarranza8087]

Be careful that you go off the map !!!!!

[@coreymerrill3257]

There is a mentioned third option with most detectors that is not mention much. They say "yes","no" and "i dont know". Salt on your skin can also set it off which is why a plastic scoop is important. I have been researching what i need for prospecting my area and the gold monster 1000 seems to be my best option...now if only they had an uploadable platinum group detection software suite . Shane , you forgot to bring a loupe brother. You may have nano fine stuff that the detector is seeing, but the eyes are not. If there are 20-30 pieces of nano fines, they would all be adding to the signal strength. Be well man. Do you think you will ever get back into british columbia to colab more with dan or pauly? Perhaps 911prospecting would let you go on an adventure if you talked to justin?

[@Klesh]

Haven’t heard that yet ? More details would be great!

[@mikeobrien4437]

@@Klesh Think some put electric tape around the outside where the coil cover fits over the coil. That way small bits of metal and sand can not get between the coil and coil cover. Hope that explains it for ya.

[@heavymeadowdetective192]

@@Klesh Mike O'Brien has it. To prevent magnetite and black sand from getting between the skid plate and coil. It will cause erratic behavior and false signals.

[@jimandrews9023]

O'Brien is right, tape around the edge of the coil keeps sand and dirt from getting under the cover, but you also need to tape the wire to the pole in 3 or 4 places to keep it from jiggling and giving you a false signal. Everything nice and tight.
