You can on November 15 near Morristown

[@phillipjacobson4498]

Looks like a nice day! Love to see a walnut video I keep watching and hoping!

[@meMiner]

Those SDCs are great detectors. I should buy one for my wife. ;-)

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Yes may serve you well with all the moisture you deal with.

[@BB_46]

Nice job Bill can't wait to get out myself.

[@rrobinson14k]

Love hearing old stories 6-7oz in a weekend that was one to remember Roger

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Rare as frogs hair these days

[@whimsymaker]

awesome combination hunt and a story!

[@chadjelliston5652]

It’s nice to know even a pro like you will make a 12 Mike hike for no gold. It makes me feel better about all my gold-less hikes haha. I’ve walked some serious hikes for some new spots and have found zero many times. That’s the part of prospecting for new spots I guess. Cool video glad I ran into this older one.

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

Enjoyed seeing you find that nugget and listening to another great story. Wishing you the best. GL, HH and take care.

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Cheers and thank you for watching and commenting

[@aaronbazor2604]

Bill, thanks for the tips and stories of hunting your backyard. I'll look for a walnut Nugget next week and be grateful for the smaller ones we might get! Aaron

[@Smithsgold]

Nice Nugget

[@CAMO-hb8wc]

I like using a backpack while metal detecting, I carry a half gallon canteen and a 12 inch gold pan in it with tools, plenty of room to spare \m/

[@TomokosEnterprize]

That new wash is treating you well Bill. What a great story of the galena and chunky nuggets. A fella could sure get used to days like that eh. A nugget for your troubles and some great stories and chat. Thanks a bunch fella !

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

You are very welcome as always

[@JonathanReidmakeendlessmoney]

Nice one Bill!

[@lj7862]

If I add a reset switch to my battery cord will detect all default out my ground balance history?

[@11sbrown]

Been waiting for more stories like that Bill, thank you! Gold is great but hearing these stories is just as good. Brownie

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Thanks so much for watching and GH

Gotta bring my camp chair so's I can listen to more gold stories at the outing.LOL

Nope, found the area this year scouting...

@@NUGGETSHOOTER That is encouraging was the nugget area around Gila Bend a small placer area ?

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

@@dennyanderson4750 Oh you mean the area in the story, no it cam from an area not listed as a gold producer Denny.

[@mmmfun77]

This is so cool! I'm going to go to Cave Creek and try my luck. Been learning to pan for gold using paydirt. Thank you Sir for being my encouragement here in Az

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

You are welcome

[@Coinhoardin]

Where in Cave Creek are you gonna go? I just moved to Arizona in August just before the Anthem area, and where I used to live in California was gold heaven (Oroville) so now I've been thinking about beginning the process of looking for areas and gathering equipment.

[@mmmfun77]

Nathan Kaopua oh my goodness. I grew up in Los Angeles. When I was in school at Loma Linda, I would go off roading checking out the old gold mines! Cave Creek has many , many areas to look for gold! Within the ‘Golden Triangle ‘ are great places to go and there are a lot of them..... Googling the Golden Triangle you can see the large area of Az that is mapped, fertile with gems and precious metals... One of my patient’s I saw years ago owns a lot of land filled with such soil. He is an actual prospector. He found a way to sift the soil and separate the different kinds of gems and precious metals with the help of European technology. At that time, years ago, he had lawyers and was in set up mode. Always wanted to know how profitable it was! He said his daughter and son in law were metal detecting in the Bradshaw Mountains and found an old barn. They found old coins, two were gold! Treasure is out there

[@elonmust7470]

Lol pay dirt.

[@MetalDetectingwithCZkidd]

Nice Hunt.

[@chrisanderson9249]

Thanks for taking us along Bill. Question on a budget will the Bounty Hunter Tracker iv detect gold nuggets or pickers ? Thx in advance.

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

I have never tried it, but the issue would be in the hot soil and if it will be stable with enough sensitivity to hear targets.

[@robmart8255]

Wow extreme desert ring toss. Only in az. Nice find

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Hahahahaha good one Rob

which places to find gold in Baja California

[@pkgoldopalhunting]

nice work boy

[@willdetect3705]

I just held a 1.5 oz nugget in my hand someone found, It was exiting I can imagine what it must feel like to find one in a crack like that!!!! I bet that was a rush for you finding those that day!!!! Keep up the search Bill!!!!

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

It was a hoot Marty

[@jamesgazdzik1793]

Looked at superstition mountains before closed to mining. With metal detector. Found mostly junk but lots of agate and domes for polishing. Now e

[@jamesgazdzik1793]

Now with new mtal detectors might be easier. Superstition mountains is out I bet. But very interesting place to explore. Best was mogol rim areas dead Indian stuff but against law now. Lots of pottery chips. Worl

[@jamesgazdzik1793]

Worth noting

[@mikefurness1598]

I need to get down there with you again! Always enjoy doing a hunt with you. Good to do it vicariously through these videos but more fun doing it in person! We always seem to have a little fun doing something whether we find gold or not!

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Yep, I dreamed Tammy got a 3.7 oz nugget last night

[@RayHabyan]

Most everywhere in Arizona is claimed, do you jump the claims or do you get permission to hunt them?

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

There are open areas if one knows how to find them and more than you think. yes I also have private claims to hunt as well as club claims.

[@RayHabyan]

@@NUGGETSHOOTER Thank you for the reply. The reason I asked is because when I moved to Arizona years ago, a claim owner was on trial for murder in Phoenix. Someone was prospecting on his claim and he shot him. The outcome of the case was that the court upheld 1863 mining laws that allow one to protect their claim and acquited the guy. I think that was the year of the laws but, it was around that time. So please be careful when searching.

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

@@RayHabyan been at it here for 30 years and never jumped a claim by accident or a purpose. Just got to do research and be sure.

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Thank you

[@lotharschiese8559]

Audio, Left channel not working, can't hear detector. Love your adventures!

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Let me check

[@warrensidney5063]

A question: I notice when you use a PI machine, you seem to dip the coil down and lift it as you pass over the target. But when using the Monster, you sweep more level and side to side. Is this a normal sweeping motion for a PI machine? Will you demonstrate your sweep method with the PI machine in your next video????

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

When listening intently and trying to pinpoint I do that yes.

[@timmynorfolk7817]

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a walnut that small

[@randallalan4221]

Love your streak-tester/blower tube! I found a few of those porcelain insulators in a WW1 training camp...now I just need a plastic straw. Thanks for the idea :>) Ha!

Hey Bill. Did you spend time up in Pittsburgh? The way you said samich for sandwich is the way a lot of Pittsburghers say it.

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Nope, just picked it up from my Grandpa I think long ago

[@mstreasureseeker814]

Do you or do you know of any metal detecting paid trips, outing, vacations or adventures that anyone could go to this coming Thanksgiving within Arizona? Bill do you create metal detecting trips?

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Not off hand, laws have changed some making it difficult to offer paid trip. I think there are still some doing it though.

@@NUGGETSHOOTER At 32 years old, I've yet to do the first step into finding gold. I've lived in some pretty good areas in the past, & had plenty of thoughts (Gold Fever with Tom Massie) but I was worried about other stuff like cows & trees. I have a little place in Curry Co OR that I'll get back out to some time soon hopefully.
