Metal Detecting Gold Nuggets GPZ 7000 - Equipment Anger Ensues

[@marjamada]

No pinpointers were harmed in the making of this movie (at least not on-camera). You asked about a pinpointer that works. I don't have one, yet, but the comparison I saw on YT of four or five showed that the Whites Bullseye TRX proved superior, mainly in that the sensitivity is all at the tip, not along the shaft. Operates on two AA or one 9V - I love that. Chirps and/or vibrates. Has the deepest sensing of the group tested.

[@Codethe_Road]

You find massive nugs, and all the other channels I watch run endless material for a couple flakes in a pan.. I think you got a pretty good spot.

[@index9749]

+respect for not hurting the cactus.

[@caseykelso1]

great time you have!!!!!!!!!!!!! be grateful and thank god for every day your able to do what you love....

[@USMiner]

+Eric Soprano Appreciate the compliment, but god didn't work the oilfield for years to save up and do what I love, I did it for myself. I do thank the flying spaghetti monster for good pasta though.

[@caseykelso1]

lol...i hear ya

[@brotherbrandonheterosexual4131]

You are a genuine treasure hunter

[@robs9499]

Fabulous nuggets! Congrats!

[@USMiner]

+Rob S Thanks appreciate it!

[@WalnLiz]

Top vid and great to see that no cactus thorns spoilt your digging of that nugget. I could well imagine the annoyance of probing that pointer with needles in ones fingers...the descriptions could become very colorful. Take care out there...Wal.

[@USMiner]

+Wal nLiz Haha yeah man, for every crazy poisonous spider and snake you guys have down under we have some variety of cactus, keep pliers in my back pocket just for needle extraction. Take a cactus over a Taipan any day though!

[@coldshot5555]

Small world...Hi Liz and Wally and Pedro...

[@Holy_hand-grenade]

Wal nLiz AZ has some different flora, but in Southwest UT, it’s usually the Yucca spikes and the caliche shards you have to look out for. That caliche can break into incredibly sharp pieces.

[@nathancossey8878]

Hey I saw on one area you were using the fisher goldbug & mostly you use your mine lab , was there a reason for that

[@DarrenCharron]

Those are some nice sized nuggets you found not bad for a days work.

[@jeffinphx517]

Good job, nice nuggets. I like that you get pissed and cuss.

[@USMiner]

+Jeffrey Harris Haha yes, a family channel this is not. I'm generally not frustrated, but that Nokta pinpointer drives me crazy.

[@amberbryeans114]

Jeffrey Harris i thought that too

[@KirksCORNER1983]

Do you sell any of these?? Pickers or nuggs??.

[@scottcomella2264]

Hollow spot probably an old, abandoned ground dwelling mammal. Once caught a ground squirrel that was stealing my silverware. Wonder what kinds of shiny objects those little buggers have stolen and buried over the last 200 years or so.

[@duanewhite3184]

I have a small coil works good for in-between rocks you should get one

[@andyamysarizonaadventures5450]

very nice..is that in Nevada or Arizona by chance?

[@MrCobill]

Jason, another great nugget find! Guess that GPZ is paid off by now??? Keep it up young man. Bill

[@USMiner]

+William Moore Yep, paid it off and then some. Didn't hit the 2lb mark with the GPZ but got up there close. Good luck out there with yours, find some big ones!

[@JayGoldNuggets]

Nice finds mate. Well done. Gotta love the GPZ. Good luck on your next outing. JG

[@USMiner]

+Jay Gold Thanks man, nice job on your latest finds too.

[@kevinfrench3034]

Sweet! Nice nuggets!!

[@TheIrongutz]

Felt your pin pointer pain but mine didn't survive the toss

[@Holy_hand-grenade]

LMFAO around 9:30. I sound just like that when I’m hassled by some electronic bullshit or insects etc. when I’m balls deep on a prospect.

[@beaueads4170]

Can I ask what state are you in here?

[@seekingtko3146]

Fantastic channel congratulations

[@dennisjamieson3328]

One handed with the camera moving around is touch to follow. I quess I should not have had that whiskey. Lol

[@garywhelton9304]

Nice gold . Just subscribed your channel and will be right along side when you dig the next nugget .

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

So how much money you got?

[@USMiner]

Lots, I'm retired and living in a fenced compound in Hawaii now with a helicopter, red Ferrari, and sweet mustache. I solve mysteries for fun and they based a popular show in the 1980's on my current life.

[@ramonfino214]

@@USMiner that's classic 80s show based on life today lol bahahaha

[@lincolnthinking]

liked the find that dropped from under a larger undug rock down into the deep dug hole (o:

[@jaddy540]

One of the nuggets at the end looks like a puppy laying on his back. Even has tiny ear!

[@gregburgess6884]

Very nice

[@diegobrown19]

Hey there, great video and do you have any advice for someone looking to prospect in Colorado soon? should I focus on metal detecting or panning? All I have is a cheap 200 dollar coin hunting machine so I don't know if I should even bother with detecting...

[@USMiner]

+diegobrown19 Panning and sluicing for sure. Colorado metal detecting is hard and almost impossible without a good prospecting detector. Most of the gold in Colorado is fine to pickers, nuggets only occasionally.

[@maymay7850]

USMiner , so i live in valley springs California, i own a ace 400 will it work? And if you were me where in my area would u look on goggle earth for nuggets ????

[@thecsslife]

What kind of sound did you make at 0:47 lol

[@USMiner]

I'm a primal digger, what can I say.

[@evangelistpower]

Hi buddy nice find. Did you find these nuggets in Greece?

[@georgescott5293]

those pinpoiners are pretty aggrivating

[@DP-jc5uw]

Where can I get one of those handy little pokes

[@USMiner]

Doc's Detecting used to give them out, not sure if they sell them or not.

[@DP-jc5uw]

Thanks, Liking your videos. Loving my GPZ still trying to nail down settings. Keep shooting out the info videos.

[@pattycu68]

What state are you finding these gold nuggets??

[@KirksCORNER1983]

Yeah what state are you in??. Can't find shit in MARYLAND....

[@KirksCORNER1983]

Looks like Arizona or Colorado.

[@radrockitpsyence6739]

Good stuff. Kudos on hunt filming. Do you mention which State you're in ? May, 2018 / Thank or the tips and a hearty laugh (pin pointer)

[@ChippinFlint]

Suggestions on a metal detector brand/model-series?

[@ChippinFlint]

I see yours the GPZ 7000, but my goodness what an expense.

[@USMiner]

For gold I think the best value right now for a PI detector is the GPX 4500 which I also own and can confidently say it'd find 90% of the gold I found in my videos with the 7000. And for VLF's it's probably a toss up between 6 or 7 more or less equal machines, but for my purposes the Gold Bug 2 is still the best, it's discrim capabilities lag behind modern VLF's though.

[@kelvenguard]

HOW or WHAT do you use to clean your Gold Nuggets.. Thanks from ALBERTA CANADA

[@USMiner]

CLR mostly

[@hightechredneck3]

The camera interferes with the metal detector bud. Other than that, I love your vids! My wife and I are going full time mining in a month and a half. I've been mining part time for about a year and it's probably the best way to have true freedom.

[@Holy_hand-grenade]

Lol, what he calls underwhelming I would break rocks like a chain gang convict to get at. This guy finds some monster nugs, particularly for prospecting the Southwest US.

[@meradu2]

Nice Day for a hunt Happy Hunting to you

[@WesternadventuresTv]

Great videos there US Miner! I've only lived in Vegas 9 years, but have been wandering the desert every since, looking for weird stuff and trying to figure prospecting out. I've learned a lot about what to look for and have probably found every mineral out here but gold, lol! I have learned a Garrett Ace 250 isn't going to find anything by slugs and shells! I know I'm getting to some seemingly right spots, but I guess its time for a gear adjustment. I also own an audio company and am working on building out our post-production capabilities. If you ever want an actual camera man, hit me up, I'd love to learn from someone who knows what they're doing, since I normally go by myself.

[@USMiner]

+WesternAdventuresTV The good news is that any detector can find gold if its big enough or shallow enough, the trick is finding the rare spots that have nuggety gold. Check out my "How to Find Big Gold" vid for a couple rule of thumb hints to start with if you are interested in the things I look for personally when prospecting new areas. That said, you are right, the Ace 250 is not a prospecting detector and will be a tough one to learn prospecting with. Around Vegas proper you'll have a tough time finding detectable size gold, give AZ and CA a try if you can and try to get something like a used Gold Bug 2 or GMT for $300, they'll hit sub grainer size gold easily when you learn to run them right.

[@johnhardin3426]

What about a Land Ranger pro? Think that will work at all? I DO have a great pinpointer called a deteknix and the scuba pto from the same company. They are really great and have great range. I have been unable to detect small flakes of gold with the Land Ranger Pro, but it does peretty well on bigger gold like rings and such. I think it would go as deep as yours did in this video with those size nuggets. Not sure. Opinion from you on that?

[@cheliae8560]

Wow! Thanks.

[@PhotoAdvanced]

great finds man :)

[@USMiner]

+PhotoAdvanced Thanks, you end up finding a detector, or still thinking on it?

[@PhotoAdvanced]

+USMiner After you replied I've been doing a lot of reading and watching. Gave up the idea to buy something for a few hundred as it will be a waste of money. I came up to the conclusion that I'll be getting the Gold Bug 2. I live in Europe and it's still cold here so I will wait till spring. I'm curious, is the GPZ 7000 as sensitive to small gold as the Gold Bug 2. What's the smallest piece you have found with it and at what depth? For deeper gold this machine is obviously a beast :)

[@USMiner]

+PhotoAdvanced The Gold Bug 2 is sensitive to smaller gold than the GPZ 7000. Smallest I've found w/GPZ is about 0.06 grams maybe 1/2" deep, with the GB2 I've found pieces that don't register on my scale. I paid $300 for my GB2 used with an extra coil so it was pretty affordable. I buy most my detectors used except the GPZ I bought new. Finding gold is hard, especially starting out new without someone to show you around, it took me around 500 hours to find my first nugget. Takes a lot of patience and 90% of people I meet give up on it so don't get frustrated too quick and enjoy the fresh air and exploration while out there this spring if you do buy a detector! Just giving some advice for the long road ahead. :)

[@PhotoAdvanced]

+USMiner WOW that GPZ 7000 is definitely worth the money. One day.. :D I appreciate your advice. I've thought about these things. I will try to look at it as an adventure, a chance to spend some time out in nature as well as finding some gold. Don't know if I can be as patient as you though. Keep making more videos. Maybe also some educational videos for noobs like me :)

[@USMiner]

+PhotoAdvanced That's the best philosophy to have, adventures are always fun even if no treasures are found! The best piece of advice I could give someone new (or give to myself if I could go back in time) is that you can't find gold where there is none to be found. The key to detecting success is 10% learning your machine well and 90% putting yourself where the detectable size (nugget) gold is. I approach prospecting like would Sherlock Holmes, pay attention to every detail no matter how insignificant and read and learn everything you can from history to geology, gold is a mystery in the ground, the location is the answer we are trying to solve! Good luck!

[@jaffyger]

Yeeehawwwww that their some nice gold lad well done

[@USMiner]

+jaffyger Thanks, appreciate it!

[@joerooney6724]

I wish I could complain about my pinpointer like that.

[@helenleary1327]

Great video ... but you need some new kit ... starting with a garrets pro pointer!!!

[@USMiner]

+Helen Leary Haha yes agreed!

[@blulight1170]

Always remember the desert is very very fragile........

Great, I live in sw FL. There ain't shit 2 do hear. Used 2 commercial fish hear but fukkin yahoos. From north shot that 2 hell , I've always wanted 2 go out there, I'm 62 its never 2 late but any who luv it!!!

[@donaldhofman296]

It's never to late to try, I'm 67 and I just started!

[@all_about-You]

I got the gold fever, but finding nugs like that. wow just wanna make me dig harder. great video's thanks for taking me along.

[@lynnreem8900]

I enjoy your videos, but I wish you would do less fast forwarding. The rapid motions on the screen tend to make me dizzy.

[@USMiner]

+Lynn Reem Thanks! Yeah, the dilemma is that people want to see the whole dig uneditted so that they know its real. But from the stats page I know people rarely keep watching when its a bunch of long dig time, so fast forwarding is the only solution I can think of so far otherwise my videos would be 30 mins to an hour long.

[@durans8180]

i get a headache with that forwardddd video

[@Jay-vr9ir]

Good score, now you can fill the holes in peoples teeth.Do this for 261 days at $800 a day , over $220,000 will be yours.

[@GPC179]

[@patprop74]

man, if you would only use a tripod and stop fast forwarding your digs! i would be a full time Sub to your channel . but all the jiggling around and the fast forwarding give me motion sickness.

Do you tell ad least the area you found it. If not I will unsubscribe this channel because that not helping any of us

[@jsjaaadventures3334]

no I can find it thank for the help

[@hubertcumberdale7984]

Go search for yourself you mooch! The fun of detecting is the adventure! Not for someone to hand feed you.
