THIS is the exact information I’ve been looking for. Keep the series going!!!

[@AussieBeachHunters]

Well done on the gold! I’d be happy with 1g. New subscriber if your interested in beach hunting check us out! Can’t wait for you to come over to Western Australia 🇦🇺👍🏻

Probably the best tape i have ever watched on KZbin. Thank You so much for going to the effort , and I admire you for not being a "It's all about MEEEEE" poster. I would imagine that you are succesful in all aspects of your Life , and your family should be so grateful.

[@BKGoldDetecting]

Mohammed Novalija Thanks Mohammed, I do enjoy sharing my experiences, especially passing on a little of what I’ve learnt over the years. So many people get caught up in how big the gold is, this video has taught me that many appreciate the skill and sense of achieve in finding small bits in heavily hit ground. Thanks again for your comments. :)

hi. cool video. like

[@SouthernCrossGO]

Nice machine mate the 7000, youll do ok with that in WA

[@garyanddoris6022]

Truly enjoyed the adventure and seeing some nice nuggets....

[@BKGoldDetecting]

Thanks Gary, been surprised how popular this video has been, it’s not all about big gold. Best place to learn good skills is in an old area that’s been hit hard. Real challenge to find what others have missed.

[@melbournesubtropicfruits9474]

I noticed on my app there's a huge leased area north of town MIN4639 and smaller area next to it MIN4572 ~ can you still detect here anyway as it's State. Forest and conservation areas ~ seems wrong to get shiut out if they are reserving it?

great n00b vids, does wearing steel-capped boots interfere with the coil picking up one's boots?

[@BKGoldDetecting]

Thanks Dan, I never wear steel capped boots, I use the ones electricians wear, they have a composite cap.

[@dantheman5222]

@@BKGoldDetecting I have watched heaps of prospecting vids and thought no way there wearing steel caps and never thought about "composite " boots, but thank you for your reply mate "happy hunting"

Hi great video!! What brands are you clothes and 🐫 pack ?!!! You look cool 👍

Darrel Ellis Ha Ha, didn’t realize I was a design guru. :) well I normally wear Katmandu or Mountain design shirts as they are SPF 50 and very cool in the hot weather. My pack is a Camel Bak, the one used my US military, very tough.

Thanks nice video for someone new as long as they listen to what's being said, low and slow. Move the over burden and don't forget fill in your holes.

[@BKGoldDetecting]

Very true, too many people walk away from the rich spots looming for new ground. Occasionally works but the old timers could sniff it out from miles away. I have had most luck following their clues.

[@shirleydeverson3035]

[@Thataussiebattler]

I enjoy your adventures.

[@jori374]

Love the vid! Thanks for that!! We've been out on 5 trips now, twice with support and training from experts and 3 times alone. With support we were able to find some small gold, but when alone we still struggle to select the right spot to detect on (in known gold producing areas). We find a lot of rubbish and lead shot but no gold so far. This videos give some clue on how to select your area which I love. Would love to see more on that! We use an SDC2300.

[@BKGoldDetecting]

Jori Thanks :) it takes time to consistently find gold. What you don’t see in my videos is the days or weeks I sometimes go without gold. It all pays off when suddenly out of the junk comes a nice piece. Or better still you find a patch. Many people give up before the point where they gain the confidence to thoroughly detect an area where they are confident gold SHOULD be. I am very big on looking for the signs of gold by observing the ground and any old workings. Once I am confident that all the signs are right I go over every square inch in a small area and am more often than not successful. Hope this helps and keep watching :) BK

[@StuartReeve]

Great vid, your knowledge is outstanding. Thanks for sharing 👍👍 any chance you might let us know what settings you were using and how you go about starting up and balancing the detector... Also, good luck im W.A im looking forward to more vids 😊

[@martyjames6204]

the BIG money is in selling detectors...

[@BKGoldDetecting]

Like any hobby the person who sells the equipment makes money… the boat you buy for fishing, the caravan you buy for camping, the golf clubs for golf. I’ve had immense pleasure for many years out of the $10,000 I spent on my detector. The difference is I do pay for my fuel plus more, I never catch enough fish to pay the fuel for my boat. But then I’m a lousy fisherman. :)

[@my_touring_adventures]

I like the video. I am thinking of starting detecting in nsw. Wondering whats a good starter detector ? I was looking at the Minelab equinox 800 or the gold monster 1000

[@BKGoldDetecting]

Unfortunately detectors aren’t cheap. I did have a gold Monster for a while and in the right hands it will find gold. There are plenty of gold monster specific videos out there. Well worth a watch. Personally I would go for a second hand early series GPX detector if your on a budget.

[@InTheDarknessWhereIDwell]

Thank you Kevin! I have owned an Equinox 800 for about 6 months and go prospecting when I can, done a lot of walking and sweeping and still no nuggets, maybe one day, great video.

[@BKGoldDetecting]

Paul Lake Hi Paul, in my experience the best way to get your first nugget is to pick a small area and go over it thoroughly. Walking around is often non productive as it’s very easy to walk corridors that others have walked. I rarely go out without finding at least a few small ones by going over every inch of an area that should contain gold. Watch for more videos soon that will hopefully help. BK

[@InTheDarknessWhereIDwell]

@@BKGoldDetecting thank you for your sage advice, I'll do that next time I head out.
