Overlanding Arizona’s Gold Capital | Wickenburg to the Bradshaws

Exploring the abandoned mining regions of central Arizona with a tundra, Tacoma and land cruisers. Prime overlanding with a bit of gold metal detecting in between some good four wheel crawling!

Dude, you are such a breath of fresh air in this “overlanding” community. I love the history, I love the commentary, I love the peace, and your pups are cool too. This is the stuff KZbin was made for, not like so many other wayward channels who have fallen into the pit of consumerism. Thank you.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Really happy to hear you say that because I’m trying to move in a direction from all the other channels spewing garbage no one cares about. Just putting out content people can enjoy without shoving products in faces. Appreciate that support

[@basebalful]

Another awesome piece of work son. But really, couldn't you find some more challenging roads then that. 🤪Are you kidding me. Nasty country, now you know why prospectors grow old fast. But you pulled it off. Good to see Bailey show up just in time. Love ya Pa...❤

[@Whitedogoverland]

It was rough but sometimes I need to get back out into that kind of terrain to remind myself what it’s all about. I know you know all about that. Love you pops

[@scottyocum7652]

Thanks for all the history you provide of the areas. You should have 50K in subscriptions, keep it up, it will happen.

[@Whitedogoverland]

One day… thank to you and all my other loyal subscribers. I appreciate you all.

[@dhu1042476]

Gotta' admit..You are persistent. Don't change that. Feeling ya on the side by sides, anything for bling, but they faded off. I enjoy the channel, the history, The Pup, your attitude and am waiting for the " YEE HAW " nugget.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thank you as always. Maybe soon enough I can share my experience finding that first nugget, fingers crossed!

great trip, love gold prospecting 👍🍺I was a member of gold prospecting of America for years went to Stanton back around 07

[@Whitedogoverland]

Getting ready to join the gpaa! ive got the gold fever, absolutely addicting.

[@KC-7mm]

Great job on your filming and editing. I will say my favorite part is the history you give on the areas you travel. Hearing the history of these remote areas really draws me to see it and experience it in person.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Really happy when my subscribers enjoy the history. That’s my favorite part and the reason I do this. Thank you!

[@KC-7mm]

@@Whitedogoverland glad I found the channel. I appreciate your approach to it. Can’t wait to finish my build and get out and explore what this country has to offer.

[@kenmarapese9085]

Excellent vid! Our Sunday morning sunrise in Kofa looked just like yours!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Kofa is killer where did you guys go?

[@kenmarapese9085]

Went north on Castle Dome Mine road from the 95 and ended in Salome. The Sonoran is looking just beautiful from all the rain. Dig your vids!@@Whitedogoverland

[@4wdAdventurz]

Another solid one, dude 👍🏻.

I could be wrong but I believe ruby is closing its gates this June 2024. Thank you for documenting it so well so that it is not forgotten.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Are you talking about the ruby down near arivaca? Bummer to hear that if so…

[@markshietze4783]

❤ Aawww , what a good doggie 😊

[@toddhoffmaster6057]

The Equinox 800 is a great metal detector but it has a learning curve. It isn't one of those just turn it on and go detectors. If you can find shotgun shell shot while looking for gold, then you are doing good. I have not taken my 800 out yet using the smaller coil to look for gold yet. I just bought myself a Tundra crewmax TRD and went up Redington Road with it and it beat me to death. Guess I need to put a shell on it to help soften up the rear springs. Dropped tires down to 33 and it helped a little bit.

[@Whitedogoverland]

I certainly wasn’t ready for all the tech this machine packs in, but slowly learning through some good tutorials. Would definitely like to learn more from someone with experience if you’d ever want to meet up and get out on some claims? The main road up Redington is in worse shape than I’ve ever seen it. I’d suggest buying a portable compressor to drop tires down closer to 20-25 if possible but that does all depending on how much rubber you’ve got! Someone once told me every 10 psi you take out of your tires is equivalent to $5k in suspension. It’s crazy what softening up those rubbers can do.

[@toddhoffmaster6057]

@@Whitedogoverland it is an ‘08 with 35’s and a 2” lift. This was the worst that I have seen it. I will try dropping it even lower to 20psi and see how it does. Whenever you want to get together to learn more about the 800 just let me know. I am retired now, so I can go any time.

[@Whitedogoverland]

@toddhoffmaster6057 sounds like a killer rig, would love to check it out, I don’t often come across many other built tundras. Curious how I can get in contact with you off of KZbin. By chance are you on Instagram? Facebook?

[@jawaring]

Hell I own one of those SxS's and I whole heartedly agree with ya! The big packs of them with lights and music... obnoxious 😄

[@Whitedogoverland]

Not all, but most… lol

[@Ontheroamagain]

Awesome! 🤙🏻

[@rickmontelongo4230]

Beautiful can’t wait to go out there and visit Arizona out in the Mountains I was in Red river New Mexico loved it except for those Aholes in there side by sides razors 👎🏾 hey your sunglasses were did you get them 🤙🏾

[@Whitedogoverland]

Red river is so cool but man the traffic on that trail is just insane. It’s a good one and done type ride. I got them from some shop in california. Loved the classic Toyota design

[@rickmontelongo4230]

@@Whitedogoverland thanks 🤙🏾

[@AdventureSquadOverland]

I need some good too 😅

[@mikecoker7456]

Glad I found your channel,different type of overland content is great. What canopy do you have on your Tundra?

[@Whitedogoverland]

I try to mix it up from the norm so I’m glad you enjoy! It’s a Flippac camper

[@Joshua-vd8zp]

Awesome vid! Going to go explore the area for the long weekend! Any GPX files you may be willing to share?

[@Whitedogoverland]

If you’re interested I’ve got all my routes in detail with gpx and onx files on my patreon!

[@FernandoGarcia-qu7zt]

Bro, do you ever get worried about Mila getting bit by a rattlesnake or anything? Just curious because I am barely getting into overlanding. Just got a tacoma and I want to take my dog with me but wildlife worries me lol.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Yes and no, she’s been snake trained and I take her to work every day (I work on ranches) so she gets a lot of exposure to snakes. I would definitely recommend doing a snake avoidance class, they really do work.

[@williamkianka]

try boulder Utah lots of trails

[@Whitedogoverland]

Heading to Moab in the fall!

[@MyVantasticLifeVoyage]

There’s actually a hog season there? Like they want em?

[@Whitedogoverland]

Javalina, we refer to them as pigs out here but they’re technically in the rodent family.

[@lostarrowoverland4067]

You didn't read your history lesson fully. It's the guys that sold the gold miners their equipment that struck it rich. It's a great hobby all be it an expensive one. Keep exploring you'll find it ...

[@Whitedogoverland]

Love that, no kidding though! Those were the smart men
