Metal Detecting Gold in Western Australia 2019 pt 2

Thanks Troy, all the best mate, cheers NM.

[@placepages8071]

great video mate and good insight into your day prospecting. thanks for the honest commentary. Fantastic!

[@novabigstar1509]

Love that you saw a day meteorite, a rare occurrence to see. When I was a kid I saw one come through the clouds a drizzly morning prelight hours when I was doing my paper route. An amazing moment we rarely experience! Looks like you are getting on some bigger pieces too! Thanks for the great content! Regards

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

It happened in an instant and took me a while to process, an after thought based on the colour was metal burning up as it entered our atmosphere, l have seen different metals burning blue/green in the fire and thought that might explain the bright green l saw, how awesome it would have been to catch that on film, however fortunately l did catch one mysterious night event l will soon upload, l mean really weird for me being out there in the bush with no clue as to what l was seeing, l look forward to an explanation and glad you enjoyed the vid, cheers NM.

[@silverlicious2086]

Nice little haul. Always cool to see an eagle and a bonus meteor. I was in the state of Wisconsin the last two weeks fishing and spotted 6 bald eagles. Huge majestic bird. Looking forward to your next video. Good luck!

That was an absolutely brilliant episode Russell. Almost like your early vids. I'd bet the reef is exactly where you think it is because that is something you are so good at; knowing where the gold is! Loved everything about this vid, cheers for the share :)

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Great you enjoyed mate, it felt a bit like the early days too, l couldn`t believe it, you just have to keep looking and stay positive, thanks for the great feedback, hopefully one day l will find the source but is probably the carrot that keeps me going, you just got to love the challenge, cheers Russell.

What a hunt! very nice. Enjoy watching you guys pulling ore outa the ground.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Good to hear mate and glad you enjoyed, gotta love the challenge, cheers NM.

[@random4969]

A few experienced gold hunters been telling me you can't find gold with a cheap metal detector bt I've seen some ppl on KZbin find good gold with cheaper brands, mine cost about $159 lol bt it has pin point, today I'm going to Dunolly in Victoria it be the first time to really test the machine, watching vids like yours teaches me things, if I am lucky enough to find anything significant, ill certainly let you know 😇

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Good on you mate, remember to dig every target even when your brain is saying it cant be gold its too loud, recheck your hole after removing target because gold is sneaky and will hide under rubbish deeper in the ground and if its got your name on it then of course you will find gold, Dunolly is a great area to start so best luck out there, have fun and l look forward to the results, cheers NM.

[@nightwaves3203]

The shape and the way it radiates back the metal detectors signal is what makes a difference. I think the flat thin ones can give bigger signals back at times more than a long one. It's been awhile.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

That's why going back over a patch at 90 degrees can uncover more targets, sweeping through the length of the nugget this time instead of across its narrow side which is easier to miss, cheers for the comment, NM.

@@TheNuggetMagnet I recently found a 20.6 gram specimen was pretty cool I have a little video of it and also had a 8gram day panning.... I don't know if the air is just funny out here but it is really hard to get the 4500 tuned in always chatter , I've started to turn the threshold down that helps

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

@@bedrockbennett1827 Nice pick up, that is cool and 8 grams in the pan, fantastic, you need those days and are well deserved, the chatter sounds more electro than mineralisation, mineralisation comes and goes and is ground specific, usually in patches whereas electrical will affect entire areas and is much harder to escape, there are places on this planet where electric fields will make your hair stand up so if your not seeing overhead power lines or radio towers and the problem is not just in that one area then go through the elimination process starting with power cord, connections, leads, etc, because there will be more gold where you found that speci, keep up the great work and best luck out there, cheers NM.

I will have to learn about metal detectors, so I can piddle around like you people and get a few quid every month or so, at least it would keep me off the streets and out of mischief, maybe one day I would be as compontant as you are , I would do it as a hobby

[@mrtracyut]

If possible can you explain more about your thoughts, like when you said that’s the noise I like to hear, it would be great to understand more about why. To me they mostly sound the same. Also explaining your cool more and your previous detectors and what eventually led you to this coil/detector. Where to buy? Where to search? How to go a out permits etc. I love your videos!!

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Great comment, that noise l liked was a LOW/HIGH signal or an inverted signal as opposed to a HIGH/LOW, a LOW/HIGH indicates a deeper target which is a more exciting dig and normally a larger target, so l know l am about to get some good footage and a nice nugget, hence my favourite noise, the reason for the new coil is later technology, Rohan at Nuggetfinder Coils who l have never met but is always there to help recommended this coil, its 2" wider giving me more depth and with new wiring techniques proved to be super sensitive on the smaller pieces, l get a bit heavy handed with that edit button imagining people just want to see gold, l can start to throw in a bit more info, cheers mate, NM.

[@mrtracyut]

TheNuggetMagnet wow thanks for the quick and informative reply. You certainly live in a great area for this hobby. I used to live in Perth when I was in the Army. Now live in Abu Dhabi. When I return to Aus I want to take up this amazing skill you have. I know it’s not All beer and skittles but it seems very interesting to me.

@@2Qwk2C Thanks. Thats bad news for me though. No way can I justify that kind of money. Where I look a piece the size of a dime would be a once in a lifetime find. Almost all are barely big enough to detect. Still, a really good detector keeps praying on my mind.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Gidday mate, l haven't used a whites so couldn`t say but forums and reviews usually give up a fair bit of info, research what they are finding and at what depth and that will give a fair comparison, you can also get lucky with secondhand 4500,s and 5000,s, heaps cheaper and excellent machines, happy hunting, cheers NM.

What you really need to do is sort what you're going to be looking for. Maybe, for those smaller pieces of gold a MineLab SDC 2300 would be the way to go. Second hand they can be quite reasonable.

Great video, Russell. Excellent footage and your audio for the video for picking up the detector signals is superb. Perhaps a silly question on my part , but would a bandanna sprayed on the outside with high percentage deet (or whatever alternative product) be helpful for reducing the flies under your headnet? As always, enjoyed your very informative and entertaining running commentary. Grats on the beautiful gold. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Thanks mate l can never be sure what the camera picks up but it definitely hears better than me, l do have fly repellent but ultimately you just have to ignore the flies, spit out the ones that make it into the net and stay focused, between the flies, heat and isolation its no wonder there is still gold out there, cheers Russell.

@@TheNuggetMagnet Cheers mate. I’m retiring in 2 weeks and hitting the road permanently In The hunt for gold and a different lifestyle. Always been a country boy and lived the bush so gonna make it my home. Living in Queensland at the moment but WA is home for me so heading back that way around august. Who knows mate, maybe we’ll bump into each other one day. Live your vids. Good luck with your hunting NM. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Stay safe.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

@@newby2407 Thanks David, glad you enjoy mate and hope you have a safe drive over in August, keep your eye out for my white camper, cheers mate

[@spotlobac7694]

just goin through some of your old vids & were herein about copper meteorites green tracers , i love it how about that questionable UFO ? iv seen some weird shit myself , its ok.

[@dieselboy53]

Are you from WA?

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

No mate, l have to drive over which is starting to get a bit boring, its a long drive, cheers NM.

[@1979yoshimitsu]

Hey mate, awesome videos! I think you've given me the gold bug! Can you tell me what sort of safety equipment you bring out with you? Also do you camp out there often? If so how's your vehicle setup,? I'm in WA and I'm thinking of getting out there next year to have a crack. Cheers

[@MrStrokeIt]

What size is the coil .. Cheers

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

17x13 Mono, cheers NM.

[@dingydate]

HOW good did that speckie turn out , nice .

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Not bad but will probably see the inside of the dollypot one day, main priority is get my truck back on the road

[@dingydate]

@@TheNuggetMagnet A big problem with the truck.?

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

@@dingydate Timing chain kit, new shocks, wheel bearings, the tracks can be brutal

[@dingydate]

@@TheNuggetMagnet Is the T/Chain kit just a 100,000 klm,replacement thing, or a break down ? the other sounds like wear and tear .mate.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

@@dingydate In between, l can hear a noisy guide in there and without pulling it apart to find which one l ordered a new kit, chain, guides and tensioner

[@archiedavis7407]

Hi another great vid I'm seriously thinking about coming to western Australia next year for a month metal detecting for gold could you tell me what permits I'd need etc

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Sure mate, google "DMP" and search for Miners Right, its all you need, cheers NM.

[@edwardhardy6101]

What’s the biggest nugget you’ve found and I’m taking it that the detector is set not to make noise for iron ore !

[@Ful-OGold]

Hey mate are you still kicking? Love your videos

[@kaynef6637]

Sweet sweet yellow

[@buddymac3993]

You dig for gold you find the gold maybe,do you fill the hole after.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

yes

[@Davi.b]

Hey bud, avid supporter, I'm presently in ceduna, I'm hoping to get across border soon, would you guide me as to where I can legally detect as a starter, IVE no major experience would apreciate the guidence

[@bobcatman3844]

do you find structure and detect that area or do you just detect around until you find some gold

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Great question, l am always on the lookout for structure, a small hump in the distance, certain types of rock and hilly country but at the end of the day its walking the beat into areas only accessible by foot, then you are on the lookout for Ironstone outcropping, Pisolite and Greenstone, cheers NM.

[@vk6xcj]

Hi what an awesome morning for you,, wonder what detecter your using,, love to know which town you are near as I'm a newbie to this... I've never camped remote before as well so a little bit nervous. Really good video you have done :)

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Hi, that was a great morning, the detector is a Minelab GPX 4500, its old but still keen, l usually hunt out pending leases around Leonora or ask for permission to detect as long as l tell them what and where l find gold, a GPS is vital in most of these areas for safety, but great fun, exercise and experience, stay safe out there, cheers NM.

[@jeffevans3193]

Mate, do any aussies work or are most rich from they're diggins?

[@lianeisme]

You have a new coil from your elite 14 inch how are you finding it. Do you use the same settings as your elite

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Exactly the same settings except the volume is higher to accommodate the wind, l find it way more sensitive and cant wait to take it for another walk, great coil, cheers NM.

[@peterobrien7465]

Great video as usual. I detect over here in Vic . Are you on a lease or a station ? I know its all alot different from over here . Thanks for videos keeps me motivated .

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Thanks Peter, glad you enjoyed, The WA goldfields consist mainly of stations and most mining leases are staked on the stations, access is still possible by 40e permits, lease holder permission and pending leases, l stay off the smaller lease holder claims and focus on the big company leases when they are pending, l look forward to my first detect in Vic, cheers mate, NM.

[@rustyhooks1645]

Hi nm great video once again new to detecting and i am trying different coils can you tell me what size coil that is please

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Sure mate, its 17x13", mono Nugget Finder, cheers NM.

[@treebs9516]

another great video Russell. I see you run your setting in enhance. the pros including JP who detect meeka area a lot say enhance doesnt punch as deep as fine gold (5000) or of course normal setting. I notice you have your back panel set to sens extra have you tried this setting? it is suppose to be deeper than enhance (on 4500 and 5000) and fine gold (on 5000)?

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed, l will give it a go, l set up this way after mucking around on a faint target to bring out the loudest signal, extra depth is word of mouth so cheers for the heads up especially now with the new coil, cheers Russell

[@diocleciodamiao378]

there is a lot of gold in Australia?

[@b.c.2033]

Yeah mate not for you though

[@smileystevesfitness]

How do you go with the detectors over the iron stone? I can’t seem to get rid of the iron stone noise in my area any hints??

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

You will always hit noisy patches in areas but in general they should run fairly smooth, these are the settings l use and don't have to many problems, hope it helps, cheers NM. kzbin.info/www/bejne/goWsXoOpg9djhNE

[@christopherburnham1612]

I look at that dry dusty ,and can almost taste the dirt laden dust, the dry scorched earth and the vegetation, and I am homesick for the never never and th harsh comfortable climate, I wish I could kick the dry dust of God's country from my lips, maybe I am a tad homesick

[@reghillier615]

Cheers mate

[@dingydate]

A question, do you find the timber hand grip better, like a lot of things that top stops your hand slipping off [keep it clean} just wondering mate i see them for sale in a few shops now. cheers Chris.

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

I do mate, l kept breaking the plastic handles and so far this has stood the test, is it the wooden handles you have seen? always good to know where to get spares, cheers

[@dingydate]

Do you have your target vol, up for the small and deep pieces.cheers Chris

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

Yes but mainly for the wind, it can blow at the wrong time and faint signals can be missed

[@dingydate]

@@TheNuggetMagnet Yeh i can see how you could miss a signal , are you only running the earphones not speaker,?

[@TheNuggetMagnet]

@@dingydate Just earphones, blocks out a lot of wind
