Nice one Matt love the shine after a swim in the coke 👌🏼🤩

[@MountaineerMatt]

This was the first time I tried it. Very pleased with the results 🌟

[@richardbeee]

Nice. That "Gold Monster" is one heck of a detector. I've been finding out that if after i did the signal i still have "chatter" in the spot/hole to bag some up, take it to water and pan it. I've had some nice takes on some real small pieces. Think about it, if a decent size flake stopped in it's downhill travel there; Wouldn't the "fines" as well? Great hunt Matt!

[@MountaineerMatt]

Makes complete sense. I've thought about bringing some buckets of dirt home from this spot. I'll do it one of these days

[@Smithsgold]

Nice Haul !!!!!!! way to get that monster working !!!!!

[@insidebendprospecting]

You're gettin good with the GM, a couple of those pieces were small! Nice job man. I wonder if you went back to where we were camping and brought the GM, if you could cherry pick the bigger flakes off the bar? Only problem is carrying it back up!

[@MountaineerMatt]

I've taken it down there before but detected the hillsides. It's really hot ground there but I might be able to manage it now that I have more hours on the GM. Never tried the gravel bar though. Might be worth a shot! At least the GM is a relatively light machine.

[@GSProspecting]

Great job all around fam. keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream. Your doing great work. Nice au indeed fam. Gold Squad Out!!!

[@janjohannessmith7033]

Way to roll Matt thank you for releasing the video I will watch it and enjoy it now

[@Logi3Bear]

Always a fan! Great video man.

[@blueleadgoldproductions133]

Nice work Matt. It takes more skill to find the small ones.

[@MountaineerMatt]

Thanks Tim 👍

[@twodudesonedredge]

New subs here. Great video. Nice chunky gold man.

[@CandSMINING]

Good job brother, doesn't matter how small they are, they all add up.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

you like that type of scoop. i have 3. the minelab one comes with the gold monster. a green one i started with and the keene crevice trowel pat gave me when i bought my gold monster. be out the 18 in the desert gonna be hot. planning on going some were else. have a good day

[@MountaineerMatt]

Yeah I like the scoop. It has a deep section in the bottom and the riffles help keep the gold in the scoop. I use the minelab one for cleaning crevices

[@genofromrenoprospector6940]

That was way cool. Multiple pieces in one spot. 🇺🇲👍😎⛏️

[@MountaineerMatt]

This spot has been very good. And you're right, all of the gold was within 15 feet of each other. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the first person to detect it. Thanks for watching Geno 👍🇺🇲

[@WestCoastGoldProspecting]

Right on Matt, that’s a good day for sure. Man I really want the sdc but I may have to settle for the gold monster for a bit. Have you tried the SDC ?

[@MountaineerMatt]

Yeah this is money honey hole for now. I havent tried the SDC. From what I've seen, the SDC is better in mineralized ground but the gold monster will pick up smaller and deeper gold. I've personally detected behind someone with an SDC and found gold they missed with my gold monster. But forget about it if the ground is super hot.

[@WestCoastGoldProspecting]

@@MountaineerMatt , right on. So maybe I’ll go with the gold monster.

[@MayhemProspecting]

Hell yes brother! I watched the whole video on my phone other day when released but wasn't able to comment for some reason so here I am on computer! Awesome shiny gold, love that you are enjoying detecting so much! I can't wait to get out there soon to hunt together. Bring your swim trunks because we sniping too bro! Hope all is well man! Awesome Video 😎 👊

[@MountaineerMatt]

Yeah this is a good spot. Can't wait for the hunt ⛏️👍🇺🇲

[@onemansthought]

Just got a GM1000, Can I ask what setting your on?

[@MountaineerMatt]

I'll keep in the highest manual balance setting I can but will lower it depending on how mineralized the ground is. I typically try to avoid using auto balance if I can

[@youtubecreators12112]

Great job Matt! I just bought my gold monster 1000 and still on practicing phase hehe.. need to watch more videos of yours so that I can learn more about gold monster 1000 just having a hard time to find a place to prospect.....yet love watching your videos Matt, just subscribe!! Happy hunting!!

[@MountaineerMatt]

Good luck! As with any detector, it's just a matter of time until you'll really know the machine. Finding where the gold is, is truly the hardest part

[@youtubecreators12112]

@@MountaineerMatt you're right matt it takes time and dedication on what you are doing... only God can tell if luck will come..

[@ANDYTHRAXX]

Man that seemed like no one has been through there before, such nice gold.

[@MountaineerMatt]

The type of trash targets I was finding makes me think you're right. This spot has been pretty good the last few times I've gone

[@ANDYTHRAXX]

@@MountaineerMatt that is excellent!! Can’t wait to see more.

[@MountaineerMatt]

Don't worry everyone, the mustache is temporary... Maybe... 👨

[@GOLD_FEVER]

BUDDY!!! I am sorry to shout but PLEASE PLEASE do a test pan of some of that material that you found the first piece from!!! I took out a solid 4 grams from a bank that was washing down into the river a BUNCH of pickers with the same type of material (a bit of sand and rocks for the first 2 to 4 inches and then a solid layer of clay on the bottom!) All that material has the capacity to be loaded with easy gold!

[@MountaineerMatt]

@@GOLD_FEVER I will do this next time I go back 👍

[@Smithsgold]

@@MountaineerMatt test pan those spots !!!!!!! see you in July !!!!

[@Logi3Bear]

Stache is a go, good sir!

[@twodudesonedredge]

Live your truth.

[@phackqu]

Great video. How do you feel about the Gold Monster almost a year later?

[@MountaineerMatt]

It's a great machine for what it's meant to to do. But it doesn't handle mineralization very well and it will take many days of use to learn good and bad signals. If you're looking for an entry level detector that is only for finding gold, then it's a great starting machine

[@doridooutreachfoundation7748]

New Subscriber here. Question. Can you find a big nugget with a gm1000? Or do you need a bigger coil (nugget finder) to find big nuggets? Because I see most of the time, these small detectors finds small tiny gold.

[@MountaineerMatt]

Welcome to the channel! Yes, you absolutely can find big nuggets with the gm1000. The reason you're seeing most people find smaller gold with the smaller coils is because most of the big coil machines have already found the bigger nuggets and the smaller coils are able to find smaller gold that the bigger coils didn't pick up before.

[@mandybrown7758]

Sweet

[@Mattytube18]

Super sensitive!

[@T1000-u7m]

Nice finds,im from california and havnt found any nuggets yet with the gold monster,what state are u from anyways?

[@MountaineerMatt]

I'm in Northern California

[@T1000-u7m]

@@MountaineerMatt im in central california,u have any idea where i should go for any luck at finding gold in my area?

[@MountaineerMatt]

@@T1000-u7m the foothills of the sierras are a great place to start. See what mining history there is near where you want to go and see if you can find public unclaimed rivers, streams, ancient gravels in those areas. Good luck

[@T1000-u7m]

@@MountaineerMatt thank you matt👍

[@Timothy-McNulty]

That really small one in this video looked to be less that 50 milligrams. What's the smallest gold nugget you've found with the Gold Monster 1000 or any other metal detector?

[@MountaineerMatt]

That's probably the smallest one I've found

[@TheRobertloyd]

Sweet tip with the diet coke. I was checking out the best methods for a easy at home clean the other day and it seems alot of people use the salt and vinegar trick but those pieces after a diet coke bath look amazing 👏 💯🇺🇸⚒️🤌🤌🤌

[@MountaineerMatt]

Yeah I'm going to do it every time now. Soak in diet coak. Then shake with fresh water in a vile and replace water until no more gunk shakes free from the gold. Shiney 👍

[@TheRobertloyd]

Just cleaned some pickers. I'll tag you in the IG post 🤙 You're going to the nugget hunt right?

[@MountaineerMatt]

@@TheRobertloyd yes I'll be there. Can't wait ⛏️
