Love your videos... The Outback is hauntingly beautiful and the solitude, wildlife and search for gold are sublime. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Thanks mate, always happy to share the adventure and the challenges that come with it, cheers for the positive feedback and real glad you enjoy, NM.

[@inquisitivealbertan1712]

Thanks for sharing another adventure. I appreciate the wildlife and impending storm footage. Best wishes.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Great news because storms are guaranteed and the only relief in that relentless desert heat, even the critters enjoy them, they are fun to survive through, lol, cheers and glad you enjoy.

[@joeljeffery8704]

Fantastic! I wouldn't have left either. In fact, I would never leave the bush. Beautiful area. Lots of breathing room. Thanks and have a great day.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Gidday joel, l love it out there in the bush, each day is a new adventure and challenge, really glad you can come along on the journey and glad you enjoyed, cheers NM.

[@jaybales3160]

Enjoy seeing you collect the color, congratulations. I also like that now and then you share with the viewers the wildlife in the bush, thank you. Always a pleasure, best of luck for a big find.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Thanks Jay, those big ones keep eluding me but l guess that's why l keep trying, really glad you enjoy the adventure and the wildlife, l am always on the lookout for new creatures, cheers and all the best to you, NM.

[@justinfarnell2284]

[@davewhittington1368]

Another nice video. Love the weather in Aus. Thanks for sharing

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Thanks David, makes it worthwhile when people enjoy, cheers NM.

[@MrAussiedarren]

Awsome finds NM and thanks for showing some of the wildlife, it makes me miss home but in a good way. I'm over here in the USA and haven't been home in 17 yrs but I do plenty of detecting over here but mostly relics. Love ya vids mate 👍👍👍

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Your welcome mate, always happy to show off the critters and have them around, 17 yrs! that's one hell of a trip, don't forget to bring some of those relics home, glad you enjoyed Darren, cheers NM.

[@scottatherton6340]

another enjoyable vid. the ankle comment made me laugh as I rolled mine at cue on Tuesday morning detecting and had to bail. has been a couple of good hail storms in the goldfields the last 2 weeks, like cricket balls. great to see you getting some nice nuggets.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Gidday Scott, l almost did the same which is why l shifted, a front end loader would be the go for that area, Geez mate l reckon your keen to be out there still, l find the weather to unpredictable over summer, hope you had some great finds and might see you out there after March/April, cheers and hope the ankle feels better soon, NM.

[@silverlicious2086]

A Camel and a Storm will keep you on your toes. haha! Nice finds. Sharp and jagged little nuggs. It all adds up. Happy to see you didn't have to walk home. Maybe the camel would have given you a lift. Best of luck always!

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Never a boring moment out there, the camel might have been a smoother ride, cheers mate, NM.

[@tinker6670]

😎 hobby just digging gold even if you spend a day digging an ounce up that's really nice. It's always a good show thanks for the adventures

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Well its really just my exercise routine, and the digging gets the heart rate up, glad you enjoy and cheers for watching, NM.

[@2Qwk2C]

That's one of your finest vids Russell!!! The zebbies, (I used to breed them), the camels and ringnecks and of course the storm. Makes for an exciting trip. Then you scratched out 4 - 5 grams of colour; - really rounded out that vid brilliantly. You're a bit of an artist now - I really enjoyed this one!!!!

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Thanks mate, l got asked to video them all but the small bits can become boring so l thought l might mix it up a bit, its good to show more than just the gold especially some of the trip, really glad you enjoyed and cheers for the positive feedback, NM.

[@2Qwk2C]

@@TheNuggetMagnet "but the small bits can become boring" - no gold can be boring - ever! It's the hunt that counts and your hunt for nuggets is one of the best. Kind of like a mini drama where the end result is what it is, whether it be a bottle top, 1/2 grammer, a lump of lead or a 3 oz'er! It's the fun of the hunt :)

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

@@2Qwk2C They are not boring for me to find, l,m like you, l enjoy every find, they just don't make very good thumbnails, lol, come on that 3 ouncer, now theres a thumbnail! good on you mate, glad you are enjoying the adventure, cheers NM.

[@cyndeecollings5738]

I just love the handle you have did you make it and what is it made out of? I have a Garret 400 that I am trying to get use to lol only been detecting for a few months but love it. Good luck on your dig.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Gidday Cyndee, l bought the handle through the Clermont Detecting shop (QLD) a guy was making them and selling them thru the shop, it was a while back but they may be able to help still, l hope you get a handle on your Garret 400 real soon, its just trial and error, good luck out there and stay safe, cheers NM.

[@pjgold8018]

The noise those prickly nuggets make can sound weird.. Nice - Thanks for putting up the vid >> Cheers

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Yeah the detector must read the nuggets contour as the rounded off pieces sound smooth, come on some low/highs, cheers NM.

[@andrewrobinson2869]

Hope you don’t mind me asking what’s the best way to start looking for gold here in WA I live in Mandurah area . What advice can you give a newbie.been detecting for 8 years for coin and relics, I feel it’s time to go real hunting, do’s & don’t ect regards Andy

[@MojoGriffo]

Great video bud. Been watching your uploads for some time now. Do you encounter many snakes out there in the depths of the outback?

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Glad you enjoyed mate, no not a real lot, especially in the cooler months, there out there but they probably hear you coming, cheers NM.

[@NewfoundlandDetectorist]

Crazy, camels are still there. Some nice bits of gold there too

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Plenty of camels still roam the goldfields, l often get a visit and usually hear them approaching, its a shame l don't see more Dingoes, glad you enjoyed the vid, cheers NM.

[@queenjane7054]

AWESOME. NM. What months do you detect ??

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Gidday Jane, normally May, June, July and August but if the weather holds out, as long as l can, those months are normally cool and dry with the least amount of flies and snakes, glad you enjoy the adventure, cheers NM.

[@GoneDiggin]

One day I’m going to the outback to find a gold nugget!!! Beautiful scenery and prospecting! I never expected the camels!!!!What handle are you using on your GPX?

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Its a great getaway and good exercise so l hope you make it, the scenery and critters are a bonus, l got the handle way back thru the Clermont detector shop(QLD), a guy made them and sold them thru the shop, let me know how you get on cos not sure if still available, cheers and glad you enjoyed, NM.

[@cyndeecollings5738]

Thank you I will look into.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Gidday Cyndee, hope you had success with that handle, it would be handy to know if he still makes them, would love to know, cheers NM.

[@BiggestKev1960]

Hi Russell, I enjoy watching your vids on your adventures out bush, keep them coming. Hey Russ is your vehicle 4WD?Just wondered, thanks Kev.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Glad you enjoy the vid,s Kev, always happy to share the Aussie Outback, yes to 4WD, its a must accessing the more remote areas, cheers and thanks again for watching, Russell.

[@a.thousandyears.2372]

Hello....Thank you ...l love it ./Thailand..

[@grampsandme]

You were worried about blowing over, I would be worried about flash floods. Of course you probably camp far from a creek, or run-off area Andrew. Take care and thanks for sharing...

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Gidday steve, l always try to camp up hill with a view so l can see whats coming and its a downhill start in the morning, cheers and glad you enjoyed, NM.

[@petermundy3339]

Very nice, that sharp gold is interesting got to be a source there close. Lucky that Camel wasn't feeling randy Mate you might have found more than a nug lol

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Gidday Peter, l am hoping for a lot of input regarding that sharp gold and don't worry about the camels as l always leave the bush when they start looking good, cheers mate Russell.

[@2Qwk2C]

@@TheNuggetMagnet Ha ha ha ha ha thats an original!!! Left the bush cause that camel flicked it's lashes at me :)

[@Famo59]

Camels 🐪 Ringneck parrots 🦜 and Zebra Finches . Don’t you just love ❤️ the Australian out back.. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 Russle.. Cheers Tony.👍🤓🍺⛏🐪🦜🎄

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Thanks Tony, glad you enjoyed me and my friends hanging out in the bush, all equally curious, hope to see you out there again real soon and all the best to you and the family over Christmas and the New Year, cheers Russell.

[@danielr5637]

The terrain looks as if there was a severe heat anomaly. .all the rocks are burnt and the gold even looks melted.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

For sure, l found what looks like Obsidian there and the rocks seem vitrified, could be an old volcanic area or its all been moved there because it looks like an old river system too.

[@danielr5637]

@@TheNuggetMagnet thank you so much for the quick response! I have been watching (binging) all your videos! Awesome stuff! Is your truck like a camper? Shower,fridge etc? Thank you! Signed, danny from upstate NY

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

@@danielr5637 Yeah, its an lveco 4wd camper, couldn't do what l do without it, being self sufficient out there saves a lot of trips back and forth on pretty rough roads, l am about to add a trailer as well to give me more room, glad you enjoy the uploads mate, cheers back from Downunder.

[@reddogsgoldadventures.1301]

Great vid ... your living the dream do you ever get Lonely out there by yourself, and also how long do you spend out there at any one time without Coming back for supplies or for a bit of sanity seeing another human..?

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Glad you enjoyed mate, yes it can get lonely but you have to get past that, l have tried prospecting with others but they always get snakey, so l pretend the camera is my company, l think 7 to 8 weeks is the longest l go without heading back in for supplies, l feel safe and free out there, plus l have the animals for company, cheers NM.

[@mikerhodes8714]

Nice nugs. What camera are you using mate?

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Gidday Mike, its a Sony CX405, cheers for watching, NM.

[@roysterfutrell8889]

There are probably leprechauns in that area. That"s why the grounds giving you a bit of trouble.

[@davidauricht7541]

Hey Russell. Good work again. Am going to shout you a scoop for Christmas. Gotta be looking after them mits of yours. Just had a question. Would you get a Toyota Coaster in the areas that you go. My set up when I get sorted will be a coaster and will tow a 4wd ranger on trailer. Or would I have to make camp and travel out from there each day. Would appreciate the advice. Will keep you posted when I get my new piece of detect equipment from the states.....Cheers mate. Dave.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Sorry mate but l love getting my hands dirty, l like to feel that nugget slide, if the coaster is long wheel base then no, its easy to get snagged up in most places l go, but there are many places you could access in dry conditions, it doesn,t rain much during winter so usually pretty good, the tracks range from good to forget it so my rule is, "lf you don't have to, then don't" but with the Ranger you shouldn,t have too many problems, good luck with the secret weapon, cheers NM.

[@davidauricht7541]

Thanks for the advice NM. If you come across a bogged coaster that will probably be me. haha. Stay safe in your ventures...... who knows our paths may cross one day... When I get my new tech will review it and make some vids on it. Then again if it works as good as I'm hoping I may not. Cheers mate. Hunted

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

@@davidauricht7541 Your welcome mate, its good to know in advance what might lie ahead so ask as many questions as you like, using your GPS unit to mark your camp is a first and must, l will definitely keep my eyes open too while l am out there in case l spot a coaster, cheers NM.

[@hunted9741]

Thanks again NM. Yes GPS a definite. Had one in my 22 foot sea boat. Was great you could go out 50 kms and land on a dime. Marvelous technology for your fishing grounds. Epirb will be on the list as well. Not sure if I've been good enough for Santa to bring me one this year but I might raid his sled on his way home in the new year. Take care NM. We need good guys showing the way and doing the right thing out in our wilderness. Very important. We need to be regarded as the station owners friend. Terrible story what happened to the guys prospecting on Palmerville station in 2012 near Cairns. If everyone does the right thing we can all enjoy our wonderful wilderness. Cheers mate Dave.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

@@hunted9741 Gidday Dave, internet as usual a bit patchy, what happened in 2012 at Palmerville station? l am intrigued, cheers NM.

[@jjgrice018]

Are these tracks driveable with a 2wd trayback ute in the dry as I see you have a big camper truck which is 4wd I guess ? May be heading to Leonora in the winter for a trip !

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Gidday mate, the tracks l use require a 4WD due to the creek crossings, they are either steep or full of thick sand, l have been to many places though that are easily accessible so places vary, use your best judgement and you should be right, l find lots of walking with the detector on the ground works best anyway so find a place you can legally camp and do the rest on foot, cheers NM.

[@jjgrice018]

Thanks for the reply NM ! If you see a skeleton holding an empty canteen next to a bogged 2wd Triton ute with QLD plates on the Gold-fields that's probably me !

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

@@jjgrice018 No worries, now where do you hide your gold again, l will keep my eye out for you mate, cheers NM.

[@jjgrice018]

Probably wont have any gold but if I do it will be in my shirt pocket and you can have my new minelab 4500 and the rest of my gear !

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

@@jjgrice018 you,ll be fine just don't forget some spares and a GPS, stay positive and don't take risks for gold, its always a bit daunting trying something for the first time, just spend some time on the Tengraph system and that will halve your concerns, cheers NM.

[@donthebaptistestes6670]

You seemed nervous about that funny lookin horse. Are wild camels dangerous? I thought they were when there were females near. I'm going from a movie I saw. What kind of camera do you use. It has a wonderful zoom and focus. I want one.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Your right, they are most dangerous when the females are around but l still keep an eye on them, the camera is a Sony HDR CX405, l find it light and compact and fairly user friendly, cheers mate.

[@whackadim2250]

About how many holes do you dig on an average day? Cool videos by the way!

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Glad you enjoyed, my worst day is zero holes and my best was 31, so it can really vary, especially in depth, but on average including rubbish probably 8 to 10, cheers NM.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

@Egghead Normally bullets and old timers boot tacks, the bullets might come from helicopters flying over shooting at camels and the tacks show up every now and again from passing prospectors of yesteryear, for me the most gold l find is in specimens, with the biggest nugget being 74 grams, there are still many more beauties out there and show up from time to time, but they never tell where from, cheers NM.

[@kennyc388]

Russ, really enjoy your videos and your nice narration letting us know what gives. That outback of western Australia is beautiful for sure....amazing place and the shots of the wildlife were top notch. Are the camels dangerous to man? The parrot was a beauty! Kinda like your nuggets!! Keep diggin' my friend. Oregon USA

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Gidday Anton, glad you enjoy mate, it sure is peaceful and relaxing out there, l find most of the critters are just as curious as me, had a nice visit in camp from a local recently and will upload Wednesday, l couldn,t believe it, anyway cheers back from Down Under, NM.

@@cromwell13649 Gidday, your offer is tempting and very kind but Western Australia claims many prospectors lives, l have to stay 100% focused on daily routines for all to go safely, l have to deal with deadly spiders, snakes, scorpions and even some of the local critters including camels, dingoes, wild dogs and pigs, any distractions can compromise my safety, which is why l always go alone, it has to be my Golden Rule, but always happy to share my adventures, cheers NM.

[@danielr5637]

When you are way out there don't you have a pistol or shotgun for self-defense while your out in the bush?
