You Wont Believe The Gold Nuggets Found In The Arizona Desert Prospecting With A Metal Detector

Join me out in the Quartzsite, Arizona Desert , hiking, exploring, rockhounding, and mining for gold nuggets with a minelab GPX 5000 Metal Detector

Happy New Year Jeff & Lila 🎉 Thanks for stoppin by ! So come on, Lets go ........

Nice hit on that nugget Adam. Good info on what the old timers were looking for. It looked like you took that second nugget out of your tooth brother.😂😂 Great video.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥

Glad ya stopped by ⛏️

[@jonthebru]

Recently a geologist stated that only about 20% of the gold in the west has been prospected or mined. So there is still a lot of gold out there!

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Gosh , I hope so !

Leave alone the west in Africa it's virgin am telling you

[@Red-et2rd]

Wow another great video! Wish I could get my detector over one piece of gold. It's been three years now without one piece. I do have one quick question for you. It you find a few nuggets up out of the washes on the hill sides would there be any smaller gold with them. I have found a hill in Morristown on one of the claims that they have been finding a few nuggets. I was thinking of taking some samples from that area to see if there is some small gold mixed in. I have detected around the outer edges of where they were getting nuggets, and have only found a few bbs. Thanks Red

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

@@Red-et2rd Yes, there could be fines there too. Run 10 buckets of material to find out

[@andyamysarizonaadventures5450]

Nice nuggets! I'm glad that shaft had a fence around it ,you could loose your mule in that thing😮

I hate it when that happens Andy ! 🤣🍺

[@landofsaguaros8330]

Happy New Year Adam. great advice there too. I still think that anybody with a gold monster, or a gold bug 2 and or an SD2300 and a little bit of prospecting knowledge can go out and find a spot and remove some overburden and find some gold. Think smart, dig everything and you don't need a $6000 detector.

[@paraglidingprospector]

That’s amazing! Great find! When you find a nice nugget like that, do you tend to collect the surrounding paydirt to process and pan out later? I’d be so tempted to dig and dig around if I ever found a nugget! So far, the Gold Bug 2 and I have found nothing but scrap. However, I am able to find the smallest pieces of foil and birdshot at roughly 4” to 8” deep so I don’t think I’m terrible at using the thing. 😂 Great work! You’ve got me thinking about a GoldMonster 1000 now. Great advice on bringing a target nugget too. 🤙🏼

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

No, I never really take samples from where a nugget was found. If I found a spot with a bunch of nuggets, then maybe i`d come back with a drywasher if it were possible. As for the Gold Monster 1000, find a used one. Lots of closet queens in mint condition out there. Personally, I think Minelab needs to re-design the Gold monsters ergonomics, and coils.

Theres a lot of gold out there for people to find. More than I will ever get in a lifetime. Only a nugget head would get super paranoid about other people finding gold too. With that said, I do try to limit giving away landmarks on video, and we definitely do not always show all the gold found.
