Minelab Gold Monster Getting It Done in Arizona

[@prospectorgil302]

Good Morning sir.. nice adventure, nice piece you found yourself..SCORE!! awesome day for you!! Have a great day! See you soon

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Thanks 👍

[@rsaldivar4218]

Nice find!!! I’ve found pieces like that around the California gold mines. Nice!!! I’ve been experimenting with different Gold Monster stands... most get in the way. I found that the heavy duty stand that Miner John sells is awesome but works much better on the NOX 800... the perfect stand for the Gold Monster 1000 is the fold a way unit made by/for the Nocta Macro. They sell it on Amazon for around $24. Keeps your Monster from falling over while sampling your dig. The Nocta stand is super light and folds away pretty flat. I put mine over the GM handle area, and put a bit of 3M 2-way tape on the sides to keep it in place. Still plenty of room for my hand, even with gloves on. The 5” NOX coil is awesome, but then the NOX kinda just falls over if you bump it. Hope this helps! Good luck out there, love the channel!!

Nice video again Bill. Makes me want to speed up the clock. I won’t be back to Stanton until March for my annual visit. Thank you for more Life’s Lessons in detecting! 50 degrees in Iowa.

That big gold specimen will help pay for the new transmission on your truck. All I can say is, thank You Yehovah God for putting Bill on some nice gold. More gold to come for you and Tammy. I love the VG on the Bed rock you found. Another great video.

Thanks 👍

Fun to watch a pro at work.... Soon I will be putting your shared info to work on Oak Creek Spring by Paxton Place.

[@Joe-nk5kt]

Nice color in that rock. thanks for the great videos, I'll be wrapping my disc with tape like yours with the monster 1000. I have noticed some distracting noise from edge. but i suppose its more of a dust issue like you said getting in the seem of the disc etc. your videos have been real helpful as I'm just starting out. There's an area that I'm going with a lot of metals in the rock, quarts, pink, dark burgundy, rust etc. There is also a lot of soft dirt that I may have to go deeper at some point and may need to use a different machine I don't know. But for now there's plenty of rock out croppings to get on top of.

[@wayne-oo]

hi bill How do I hunt for gold in black soil, is there a lot of gold in the waterfall stream? Thx bill 👍

[@peterlittler5025]

In some areas is it better to use the small coil, and what is the difference between the small and the slightly larger coil gm10

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

The smaller coil is a bit more sensitive and the larger coil will get better ground coverage and go a bit deeper

[@RandolphRelicRecovery]

I hate when a chunk is too big to fit in the bottle 👍. Nice going Mr Southern 😎

[@wchurst]

Way to go Bill - Always glad to see you always hunting & posting! :-) ***First off, thank you for the "hidden tip" I spotted at sec 23 in your clip! I just picked up a GM 1000 myself and was considering options for a stand but didn't much like what I saw out there in the aftermarket offerings... That PVC set-up looks like it would do the trick, yet not get in the way of your swing: LOL - Nice job! Two QQ's for you: I noticed that you taped the 5" coil, and recalled that you mentioned this in another video... Do you tape your 10" coil also? 2nd question: I know you talked about the debate over the sensitivity of the 10" coils before, but is there any hope that you might upload a "show-n-tell" comparing the 5" & 10" in the near future? Wishing you a lot of "whip-whips" in your day!

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

I tape all my coils to prevent stuff from getting inside like black sand that can cause falsing. Yes I can do a comparison one of these days for you

[@mawi1172]

Cuter than a b.b., that's for sure. I'll bet the desert is blanketed with man's artillery.

[@boscotom3508]

This is nice thanks this helps especially finding them small tiny pellet bb balls love it, I love learning from the best and I know your one thank you!. Another question what is good metal detector that finds gold but in cheap price?

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Glad it was helpful, but there are really no cheap detectors that will do a good job finding gold nuggets. Good ones start in the 800.00 range new.

[@mawi1172]

I've heard stories of seemingly normal looking rock like that in the desert turning out to be big chunks of covered over gold. Covered with age, pateen whatever. Its amazing!

[@williamevans6522]

I think there is quite a bit of manganese stained nuggs-"just another black rock" classified as "Leaverite". Not.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

I see the lead mine is producing well these days again eh. Good to see the gold giving itself up to you though. Getting that one piece home and then to crush or not to crush is the real question eh. Tough call. You may have to do a coin toss my friend. Well now, the day sure turned around for you today eh. I am sure your Mrs. will be impressed too eh. Take care eh !

What is your thoughts on the L.D.M.A claims, and is it worth the price to join, i am a beginner in metal detecting and need advice to the areas i can go that have good people in groups, do you have outings where we can pay you for training and hunting gold as well?

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

www.patreon.com/nuggetshooterjournals, an LDMA membership allows use of GPAA claims as well and they have many good claims, but remember club claims are for educating yourself about how and where to find gold and learning to find new areas on your own is the goal.
