Metal Detecting HEAPS Of GOLD: Abandoned Gold Mine

Metal detecting discovery of heaps of lost rare crystalline gold specimens at forgotten and lost gold mine! While gold prospecting and metal detecting this old forgotten gold mine in Arizona, my minelab gold monster 1000 metal detector finds gold that is still in quartz rock. My backpack ends up so full of gold specimens, I could barely hike back out! This area could lead to a massive quartz vein of gold! The gold rush will be here soon if enough gold is found prospecting, or if metal detecting finds us more and more gold specimens like this.

More days on this to come, thanks! Like, sub & bell for updates! All you from Australia, I'm sorry but summer is ending here finally. Your turn.

[@i.p.freely2501]

Eye protection my dude. I have a friend blind in one eye from smacking rocks, a dozen surgeries.... eye is out now.

[@WheelieShinyGold]

Good advice. I'll never disagree with safety. Sorry bout your friend.

[@WheelieShinyGold]

You're right about that. Glad you got your vision back

[@hondaservicecenter]

Got jumped now i got floaters and the probability of retina detaching 😑😭 it gives mad anxiety I have to start praying to God to distract me

[@Scott21]

When I was a kid, my brother smashed obsidian on the sidewalk and it flew into my eye. I was really lucky that my mom was able to remove it without causing permanent damage.

Bro, I very rarely leave negative comments, but I really really want to enjoy watching your channel because your content is fantastic! .... Your videos are far far too jolty and over edited. It's hard to follow your journey when you constantly switch screens and and angles. The sound and special effects are also to many and varied and frankly unnecessary! I Feel like I'm watching a B grade version of an over hyped TV gold show.....Bro we just want to be taken on a no builshit journey of your experiences and get to know you and your personality along the way. Please take this with a grain of salt bro as I don't mean to offend, but rather give my honest opinion as I think that your content it Gold! and I just want you to shine bro! 😉

[@WheelieShinyGold]

Interesting take. Some like it, some don't. Can't please everyone all the time. Of course I appreciate honest opinions, I'm not offended. Thanks for the feedback.

[@famousfoodd.i.y3737]

Bro I can definitely see the effort and passion you put into your videos! I wish you all the success in the world and I will continue to watch and like your videos to help support your channel bro. 😊

[@WheelieShinyGold]

@@famousfoodd.i.y3737 thanks, just gotta try different things. I plan to go back and remaster after get are wet.

[@Black_Jesus3005]

Came because of the short. Left disappointed. You’re spot on. This feels likes a history/discovery/TLC channel reality show reject. I’m sure the content is great the delivery not so much.

[@benjarvie1072]

I love the edits.. For those who dont, keep walking. This blokes putting in the hard yards and sharing the journey. Shape up or ship off. New sub from aus.

[@ipecac5514]

So what about the thumbnail with the tin and the claim papers you found in the other video?

[@nathanjohnson9566]

I know someone else said it, but as a safety professional I cringed extremely hard at the no eye protection during the pickaxing. Glad to see you’ll consider it though! I can’t imagine how challenging it would be out there after getting something in/injuring your eye, plus good eye pro is pretty inexpensive.

[@WheelieShinyGold]

Yeah, the ol eye squint isn't the best technique

[@AnnisAdventures]

What happened with the tin from the thumbnail and beginning?

[@zootflute]

You can thank KZbin shorts for bringing me here

There's gem pickers on Mount antero some videos I've watched there are claim Jumpers and claim owners owners don't hesitate to protect their claims they bust a cap go crazy like schmiegel... Lol

[@snowman333-]

as to the *knock* imho, rocks crack under pressure the mountain is still subject to tremendous pressures the mines are disruptions to these forces causing rocks to crack

[@WheelieShinyGold]

Totally possible I suppose. Good take

[@mandybrown7758]

I been waiting to see this one for sure EXCITED 😊 👊👊

[@WheelieShinyGold]

Thanks! There's more days ahead. Only had to time to get this one out.

[@tortugalisa4748]

183° - Sounds about right👍😂 Gold mining is sure one great interesting and fun adventure. I have some specimens that look like a few of yours. I featured a few in past videos but I have yet to crush anything yet. Don't know what I'm doing but I'm getting some great ideas from watching the community on how to crush without a crusher 💯 Yes I heard the thump again. That's amazing! I bet those are the old timers communicating with you! You are on to the gold 🤙 Get that shiny🌟 I found myself still looking around for that little construction dude even in this video😂 Have a great week Wheelie🤞😃

[@WheelieShinyGold]

Yeah it felt like 183 that day. I'll check out those rocks, I didn't know that. Get em down to a power, don't breathe it in of course. He's still waiting to be discovered!

[@redbaronrefining5322]

Where in arizona was this? I’d love to see this mine, and maybe find some old pictures etc of what used to be there!

[@thomasfallanca3220]

Lordy that would terrify me if I dropped a gold filled rock on a super rocky surface. If you didn't have a metal detector that would've been horrible luck

[@WheelieShinyGold]

Lol yeah. Got lucky & found it again!

So much for finding out what was in those cans

[@WheelieShinyGold]

It's actually in the video but you just skipped

[@SteveFrench_420]

​@@WheelieShinyGoldwas your reply a ploy to get people to watch your video more than once? Because I did and still didn't see what was in the round tin can. I watched the other video showing the claim paperwork. Oh well.

[@GizaSantu]

Question: if you could estimate, what is the total value(US dollars wise)of all the gold you have ever found while mining?

[@SweetSunflowers]

175 degrees 😂

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

no rock hammer boss ?? me gotta sell the big drywasher keene 151. get a royal explorer drywasher . small sample all over the place. ,was in the coolgardie district (barstow ca). flower gold. have a good day.

[@WheelieShinyGold]

I bring the right hammer a few days later. I agree, that dry washer is nice.

[@mikew7218]

Question..is that the same area you found a bullet hole in the bucket? You might be target from a great distance 😳

[@WheelieShinyGold]

HA! No, but it is common to shoot out here in the desert. Even more common to to find bullets while metal detecting of course and unfortunately.

[@mikew7218]

@@WheelieShinyGold So true! I grew up out here and deposited plenty of lead 😉 Be safe!

10:20 they noise may be the echoes of your pick Shook something loose or scared an animal?

[@WheelieShinyGold]

Possibly but it sounded like a knock. I heard the same thing in another area close by. No idea though

[@noneyaonenoneyatwo2879]

Try putting some solar powered sonic emitters around your area. They will drive away a lot of insects and animals

[@WheelieShinyGold]

that's an interesting idea

[@noneyaonenoneyatwo2879]

@@WheelieShinyGold I've been thinking about making a pull hammer at my house because I have the materials and I want to get into knife smithing. Basically 3 pulleys, two top one bottom and you just run a steel cable attached to a tool steel die and whatever you have is heavy and makes a great hammer or rock smasher

[@WheelieShinyGold]

@@noneyaonenoneyatwo2879 you should start making them, I'll take one haha

Was that somebody else’s claim and if so do they or the family still hold mineral rights. And IF so you just filmed yourself claim jumping.. still a hangable offense in Arizona…

Less editing- content is great but let us watch it. Also the two minute intro is 1:50 too long.

[@danisahumanable]

Why does your entire video feel like a long introduction. Quit going dark all the time 😂

[@WheelieShinyGold]

Oh I dunno, had to fill some space

[@blizzard7079]

That is a. Damn. Long. Intro.

[@blizzard7079]

Also the popping sound can easily be radiation.

[@trimericbark2755]

bro did you crush the rock? let us know if did

[@WheelieShinyGold]

The end of the video I only had time to put a note "I did half on live feed" so I crushed and panned about half of it on a live feed. I still have more to do
