OVER 3 OUNCES OF GOLD IN 3 DAYS METAL DETECTING! GPZ 7000

[@Sailor376also]

Take it from someone who did it. DO NOT kick dirt sideways with your foot. The inner knee ligaments will no put up with it.

[@mikekazmark8227]

You are exactly right on that one. I jacked up my knee the same way. Everything is fine then all of a sudden Ahhhhhhhhhh! Takes a long time to heal - often comes back and limits your fun.

[@cowboygeologist7772]

I always do that. Thanks for the warning.

[@nancyhillyer8359]

What a great piece of advice. I have a bad knee and can appreciate the hint. Very nice of you.

[@cerealaugher]

HERNIA

[@derangedgaming3781]

Just don’t tie your shoe strings ever, it actually strengthens the ligaments in the knees and makes the ankles much much MUCH stronger.

[@rmkingyeti]

You'd never get me to leave if I was finding gold like that.

[@godforever27]

Must find more lol

[@krafty65]

$1,300 a day for fresh air and exercise... not too shabby! If only they were all that way, hah! Great video, thanks!

[@garyssprinklerrepair]

The video might be over a year old but it still makes your pulse pound when you see that shiney stuff. Thx for taking the time to share with us.

[@Rameus]

I hope you keep your adventures on the down low. You are finding size able gold people would literally kill over. Stay safe and protected my friend!

[@kikoredog]

dum shit thing to say when 250k people have seen it now kinda not on the DL

[@denyspoyner4150]

Too late, unfortunately someone has already robbed him - he said so on another video. Can't be to careful nowadays, giving away location etc. will entice criminals.

How does trash such as the coil of wire wind up that far down? Was the land used for something previously?

[@cool-qm2zc]

Maybe a dumb question, but what is your digging tool called? I need something strong like that pick you've got. I've got very hard ground where I'm at. Thx in advance from your newest subscriber in good old AZ! My blood pressure was very high watching you pull up all that course shiny!

Does anyone know how does the fisher gold bug 2 compare to the GPS 5000/7000 detectors. I can't afford a GPS and want to go with a fisher goldbug 2 as a start. Thanks

[@RJMoser]

So, what do you do with it after the day is done? Clean it, and then sell it or melt it down and get all the impurities out or what? Either way... a very interesting video... great exercise, outdoors, you are your own boss but what about the critters running and slithering around out there... lol?

I wonder how many fines are in the material you move out of the way to get the biggens

[@jeffb8257]

@@USMiner Thx brother....

[@terencewood5992]

Hi Brill Video and Great Finds, watching this has just inspired me to buy an ALDI Special detector at under 50 euros!! As Im in Andalucia Southern Spain I felt paying any more would be pointless as only expecting to find left overs from the Franco Years!!! and spent last hour digging up dry rock solid dirt underneath an Iron Plant pot stand!! I will say no more but please more vides like this.

[@ericlaird7508]

Dude,you are rocking it! no pun intended,man look's like the way to go!!!

[@dantheruggedman5485]

Do you watch the gold market and sell or just save it? What’s the best way to sell and not get ripped off?

[@USMiner]

I sell most of my gold, mostly to collectors or to sellers who specializing in selling to higher end collectors. So I generally never get less than spot for mine.

[@dantheruggedman5485]

Very cool videos! Thanks for explaining that.

[@chrisbusenkell]

what is the orange wand-like metal detector? where do you get those from and how useful was it to you?

[@adamosgood]

This looks really fun, I’d love to do this!

[@photofire100]

Chris, the wand like detector a Pinpointer, made by various metal detector companies. The most widely used is the Garrett AT Pro Pinpointer. About $130. It makes coin shooting and relic detecting much faster and easier.

[@williamh6253]

What kind of detector are you using?

[@aztecworrior79]

Hey us minor how much was that Gold Detector you got there?

[@KowboyUSA]

You dig better with your boot than I can with a shovel.

[@dand33911]

That's like an $8000 detector. I was curious how you were finding nuggets in bedrock.

[@derangedgaming3781]

You can actually pick them up for 1200-2500 depending on where you get it from

[@godforever27]

Minelab equinox 800 iq is a good metal detector with gold mode for 800$. I am either getting that one or a whites goldmaster. I like the minelab more because it is 100% submersible so I can go diving and detecting for gold and silver jewelry.

[@davidleslie1963]

Well that is very cool nugget.. I just started metal detecting and I'd love to go there where you are!

[@williammawk1720]

I am sure he isn't going to reveal that.

[@scottishwifie14]

Do you ever pan the material that you dig out to see if there is small pieces of gold in it. how small a nugget of gold can your detector detect thanks

[@USMiner]

I used to test pan nugget patches more, but often there just wasn't much else there. I still keep ziplocks in my pack to put dirt in if I think a place looks in need of test panning though, and if it looks good I'll bring the drywasher in later, but it's rare. The detector in this video can detect pickers down to about 1/10th of a gram, though shallow. I have another detector that will find smaller.

[@USMiner]

+J Dean Thanks man, good luck out there with your detectors. I used (and still use) the 45 for years and I still love it. If you are just starting out, make sure to have a lot of patience. It took me hundreds of hours before I found my first nugget and plenty of times I got to the point I was thinking about stopping. But the nuggets do come eventually.

[@XxMiDNiTERxXAoD]

Hey where did you buy that shovel pick to get that dirt out ?

Wow! So cool. I need to stop going to the same ole spot in NV where I hardly ever find much. The largest I have ever found with my 7000 is 1/8" wide, 1/4 oz. I would pass out if I found something like that.

[@USMiner]

Yeah man, don't be afraid to do some exploration. It can be a test of patience, but when you find a new spot there is nothing like it in the world. NV has some big stuff.

Is it legal to keep these nuggets? What are the laws like for doing this sorta thing, looking for gold and minerals?

Finally a realistic video without all the dam shuck n jive. You dig like a beast ! That's how I get er done too! Just get the gold out! Well done! Few and far between? That's ok when they are that size! It's kinda like ole Smokey's. "The Big Easy" patch. Rest in peace Smokey. Yup great job.

[@tonybeauchene5539]

Question; Anytime I see someone find and dig a nugget on camera I always wonder how did you know when to turn the camera on? How did you know you were going to find gold right in that spot? In order for this to be real you would have to keep the camera on the whole time you're out detecting, and then edit out the hundreds and hundreds of hours of detecting when you don't find anything????

[@USMiner]

Answered this in the other thread. Short answer is the camera isn't always on, there are times when you can be more confident it's a nugget due to particular conditions or familiar areas, and sometimes you just have to brute force it and deal with hundreds of hours of video with nothing but trash. I think it's easy for people to see videos like these and underestimate how much time it truly takes to make the finds and then put the videos together. Which is also why I couldn't come out with a new video every week, you have no control over what you find or when it happens, and KZbin unfortunately punishes content creators for that.

[@gregburgess6884]

[@kobki66]

do you think it is possible to find gold nuggets in Europe?

[@USMiner]

Yes, nuggets can be found from Scotland to Serbia, trick is researching and figuring out where because most places have no gold.

[@cohensgoldntreasures]

USMiner Ha, that’s awesome man! I’m going to look around for one - thanks for the help!

[@USMiner]

I got mine back in 2007 or so but it was made by someone who I think quit or died, I believe a guy down in Arizona named Bunk makes them now himself so you might check some of the Arizona gold metal detector dealers, they all know Bunk.

[@poptart8741]

ever dry wash any of your areas?

[@USMiner]

Pretty often. Sometimes it's nothing but nugget size gold and not worth drywashing, and other times it ends up being some ok ground. Oddly the best drywashing I find is usually not where I find the larger nuggets though, not always, but often.

[@Hockeymyk]

what state were you in for this vid? if thats ok to ask

[@furlong08857]

Great videos , which states in the usa do you recommend to find gold like this .

[@USMiner]

+Daniel Furlong Thanks, hmm well pretty much NV, AZ, CA, OR are the big ones for large nugget gold. Good stuff in almost all the western states though if you look in the right places.

[@furlong08857]

Thank, I haven't found anything but flour Gold around Louisiana . Such a small amount too.

[@USMiner]

+Daniel Furlong There is some nugget gold that comes out of Georgia and Louisiana, which is a bit closer to you. Not much in the way of public land out there though...

[@USMiner]

Georgia and the Carolinas I mean.

[@caseykelso1]

what state are you in????

[@andrewwhite1985]

Most likely like Arizona or Nevada. Google that spider I'm sure you could find where they are more commonly known.

[@scottjarvis6428]

What made you decide to detect there? is that an old riverbed?

[@USMiner]

It's a few different places but all were chosen from geologic observations both on maps, aerials, and in the field.

[@scottjarvis6428]

Okay Thank you. So I am learning that the key to successful Prospecting IS learning...using maps, USGS reports and the like. Cool. I appreciate the answer and Great vids!

[@USMiner]

Yeah, always keep learning, even non-gold related stuff can end up being useful if you always read about geology and connect what you read to what you see in the field. That and become as proficient as possible with the detector you use, know how it speaks under all possible conditions you encounter before you encounter them so you are never left wondering if you missed something, the confidence that you build will increase your detecting success.

[@minerken4503]

good work your making me tempted to get my detector out and Go i am not in a good nugget field and my garrett at gold does a decent job at picking up small nuggets because like i said not many nuggets wher im at. i have to ask tho what state are you in and did you claim the mineral rights? dig on man good job

[@USMiner]

+Ken Kissell Thanks appreciate it. I have to be extra careful keeping all my locations secret when I post vids online, people see them and try to track me down, I don't even post states anymore. Keep up the search, small nuggets are 90% of what I find too, the bigger ones do come!

[@minerken4503]

Ride on i do not blame you. I watched some of your more informative videos and learned alot quick thank. I know of some spots that need looked at i noticed that many of the nuggets you dig out are very root bound. And almost in the center of small sediment build ups witch are obviously thousands of years eroded and built up but after watching you do this i have some spots that need looked at. My only problem i have a garrett at gold and have not had very much luck with it always find trash or hot rocks not in a gold area. How ever i just picked up a gold claim here in gilpn county colorado i would be more than happy to have you up if your interestd or ever in the area.

[@USMiner]

+Ken Kissell Yeah Colorado is a hard place to nugget hunt - I haven't done it much but I've never got a nugget with a metal detector in CO, I plan on it someday. I have a claim on the Arkansas River by Buena Vista for dredging but it runs real fast and high most of the time.

[@minerken4503]

+USMiner ride on i gathered you had once joind the colorado gold club? i was considering joing? you just prove that it is really out there and if your interested go find it. makes me want to work harder when im in the field. do you ever let any one join you to your Arkansas river calim to go dredge with you?

+David McGiffert Thanks man, hoping to find some new dredging ground this summer out here, hopefully get some vids of the 5" running if so too.

[@wanderingwyoming5030]

Great information and videos. Have you had any success in areas where the ore/Mineralization consists of sulfides? Once again thanks for the videos. Always grateful for people who are willing to share their knowledge and experience.

[@USMiner]

Yes I have found some nice nuggets in areas with a lot of sulfide mineralization. The exception is when the gold is fine and only mineralized throughout the sulfides themselves. Nuggets can and do form with sulfides though, often with enough time they will turn into oxides but you will see the casts of their crystals still. Limonite after pyrite pseudomorphs, etc.
