Finding your first gold nugget (part 3)

BK Gold Detecting. Learn all about Australian gold detecting and prospecting. Are you still trying to find your first gold nugget? This video is part of a series and has some tips about finding gold. In this video I explain how to find and work a patch of gold. Australian gold detecting is not always easy but hopefully this video helps you find your first gold nugget. I was using the GPZ7000 detector made by Minelab, This is a great gold prospecting and detecting tutorial.

What brand/model is your awning BK?

[@BKGoldDetecting]

It’s a rhinorack batwing. Our setup wouldn’t work without it, gives plenty of sun/rain protection especially with the side panels installed.

10:22 omg. GPS system in a metal detector. Was wondering how the hell you would find your way back to camp, since walking 50-100m you could get disorientated cause of the shrubs. I watch others dragging a chain behind them to track their path. Is this gps feature only on the minelabs detector?

[@seanmack4552]

You have inspired me to head out Inglewood way mate, take the 6000 out tomorrow. Thanks for all the tips😃

Great video and area, I have been wanting to go out here in Arizona, but man here it's getting 44 to 50 celsius and it kills you....

[@roberttindall5401]

Good to see your back. One of the best informative utube channels around. Allways learn something off you. Thanks

[@DaleDuffy]

Fantastic, you found a nice patch.....good video, thanks again...!

[@pkgoldopalhunting]

great job mate and good how you explane what and how to detect to mate i have a monster 1000 detector have not found gold with it over a couple years i just been sticking to sluicing and panning , how do you find a spot to detect at or what areas roughly with out giving away your spots are good for beginners at detecting to try at , keep up the good work

[@markgardiner1613]

Found my first nugget yesterday. A nice 2.8 gram piece ☺

[@BKGoldDetecting]

Mark Gardiner wow!! Now that’s a great first nugget. Well done :)

[@markgardiner1613]

@@BKGoldDetecting thanks. The 7000 picked it up in between a tree's roots at a location that has been well covered by prospectors, so I got lucky ☺. I'm hungry for more now lol.

[@jaejae3133]

Excellent video. Very informative. Be safe!

[@brendangray1985]

Watched a heap of prospecting channels some are better then others, this is one of the better ones. Keep em coming⛏⛏⛏

[@johngardner545]

A patch of bacon then a patch of gold, win win 😆

[@matt300]

Thanks for putting together this series. After finding endless lead shot, hot rocks and chunks of tin, it's great to have someone with experience helping out a new prospector. Hoping to get my first gold tomorrow!

[@BKGoldDetecting]

Good luck Matt, every now and then the lead shot is a good nugget. If the shot is still there then no one has detected that area properly. Done bd afraid of old detector holes, they are signposts to a good gold area. If you have watched part 3 and the follow up part 3 (cont), that area has been heavily detected in the past, but we pulled over 20 grams out of there. 5 mins from town. Look out for old timer holes, they rarely got it wrong. BK

[@paulbourke2686]

Great video Kevin. Would you mind elaborating on what you mean by “doing circles” once you find a nugget. Your videos are very informative, keep up the great work.

[@BKGoldDetecting]

Paul Bourke Thanks, once I find a nugget I very carefully do all the ground around it working from the nugget outwards (circling the nugget). It gives you the best chance of picking up a pattern, of run that the nuggets are on. In this case it led to finding 3 in line, so then I concentrate more on that line as I move further out from the first nugget. Hope that makes sense. :)

[@Shane_Chappy]

Great video, so many great tips. Thanks BK. Looking forward to pt 2 and 3.

[@BKGoldDetecting]

Shane Chapman Thanks, this is actually the first half of Part 3. Maybe checkout my channel for the other parts :) BK

[@rt-ks2bh]

Great vid BK,,with some good info always liked your way of explaining things and things that make sense,,breaky looks good ,,your wife seems like a very nice person and seems so humble without any headaches lol seems very sweet,,,also your vids are good quality what camera are you using BK,,,cheers mate

[@BKGoldDetecting]

robert tufo Thanks for the comments, I’m using an iPhone 11 Pro for my newer videos, some of the older footage is on cheaper phones so are not so clear. Don’t like carrying too much equipment when detecting so the iPhone is ideal. I have a lightweight collapsible tripod as well which fits in my backpack.

[@rt-ks2bh]

Thanks again BK will keep following you mate and look forward into your up coming videos,,,best to both of you and happy journeys,,cheers

[@isaakmackley9003]

What detector do you use Kevin??

[@BKGoldDetecting]

Isaak Mackley I use the GPZ7000 and Eliza uses the GPX5000, both great machines.

[@isaakmackley9003]

BK Gold Detecting have you ever used the sdc 2300?? Herd they have it up to the gpx 5000 just wondering if that was true

[@BKGoldDetecting]

Isaak Mackley The SDC 2300 is a great machine, very sensitive but not a lot of depth due to small coil size. It’s more sensitive than the GPX5000 with the standard coils, but if you put a really small coil on the GPX such as a Sadie coil there is very little in it. In my opinion the SDC is as sensitive as the GPZ7000 on shallow small targets, but the Zed has the advantage of far greater ground coverage and depth.

[@isaakmackley9003]

BK Gold Detecting do you think the sdc would pick up the small nuggets that you found in this video?? At the depth you found them??

[@neiltaylor-smith1805]

Hi BK, Enjoyed your video mate. I’m also interested in how you set up the rear of your cruiser. Could you send me a pic of set up in the rear please? Just PM to me if possible. Thanks

[@BKGoldDetecting]

Hi Neil, I will be making a video shortly just about my setup as I’m getting a lot of questions about it. I’m in to taking the minimal amount of stuff. No choice as we sleep in the Landcruiser which has a bed in the back on top of the storage unit.

[@neiltaylor-smith1805]

BK Gold Detecting Thanks for that. I’d like to see how you’ve mounted the bed structure mate.

[@120downunder]

Great work champ, happy days

[@BKGoldDetecting]

120 DOWNUNDER Thanks mate, so glad to be back out there. Was going stir crazy at home :)

[@percyveer5974]

Another excellent video. I really appreciate that you share your knowledge. I have been on several 'paid for" detecting tuition days and you have provided more worthwhile information in 14 minutes than all of those combined. Looking forward to the next one.

[@BKGoldDetecting]

Percy Veer Thanks Percy, this is only half of part 3. Just too much footage for I video. Hope to put out the rest some time soon.
