- What do you think about this? see, and tell us now.
- Did you end up with a minimum of two dwt per bag there me old china?
- Great great video. Someday i hope to be doing some prospecting. My wife loves the gemstones. I want to go for the gold. Thank you do much for a great video. God speed. B.
- Great video!! thanksJoão prospector - BrasilObrigado mate
- Sounds like "Herschel" character in the walking dead series =D
- great video glad I found your channel again
- This is a well made video>Thanks.
- Thank You !! I have been trying to look up the difference between the PI and VLF. Thanks for explaining it. Good Luck
- Great video! Thanks for making it!
- I love the part about finding a nugget the size of your ring. That is a beautiful ring. Glad to see you working in the light. Thanks for the tips my brother.
- three questions. 1. What state are you in. 2. there are ancient river beds 5000 feet elevation? Was that ground lower at one time? 3. why not process the gold onsite? Cant you dry wash it, or use a recirculating type sluice etc?
- Hi, I thank you for making these videos. And I have a QUESTION!! My grandfather except for being an old fart, decided to give me his Tesoro Lobo Supertraq. Is this a good metal detecter to find gold?? Or is this mainly just for coins???
- Adam - you're right in the ballpark of a Whites MXT (original model), or a Garrett AT Pro, these run at 14 & 18 khz respectably and are true gold machines. Something I have played with, but haven't been out west to test on the ground there is the Ace 350 (8KHZ) with the sniper coil - it works here on small nuggets, but this is mild soil (although salty) in Florida - so I can't officially say it works out west just yet. At 10KHZ is the Tesoro DeLeon which would give a target ID#. Good luck!
- I was searching for black sand at a local lake and I found a bunch. I also found five iron rocks. Could I find gold in those?????
- Thanks, Jack, an attaboy is welcome every once in awhile!
- What size coil are you using? it is better to use a smaller coil for gold or bigger a cause i want to get a silver umax and get a small coil... good idea?? cause i love to go to the deserts and the beach.
- what is your opinion of the tigershark metal detector?
- @erovegno : another traveling man of history.
- No, Lobo Super Trac is the full name of it (not my detector btw, but it found some nice gold in the wash).
- Hi flagold...I'm in 29 palm is there gold in 29 palms??? I think it would be fun to do. I love the video's thanks.
- Is there a detector that you would recommend for someone getting into detecting that isn't mega expensive ($600 or so) that would be good for coin finding and mountain placer? I'm in Montana and have a bit of placer experience. Thanks- Adam
- nice work, subed you and added to my site...
- from all those bags you took, how much gold did you end up finding
- Matt, if you lived in that area, would it be feasible to take out a small trommel, and the spiral wheel on site, and just camp and work it? Or is it too hard to get enough water to those areas? ~Kevin~ (Farmington, NM)
- Right now we are running sapphire gravel bags for cutting, since cutting the sapphires is by far the most lucrative thing we do (the opals are right up there too). I should have a movie on that coming up, and will try to run the gold bags when it cools off this fall.
- finally got a minelab eureka! wahoo! can't wait to get out and try... thanks for the fantastic videos and inspiration.
- im from pa where would be the best place tp find gold or sapphire or something like what kind of rocks would i find in pa land help ssend info to jacqueline19672460@yahoo.com
- @bradmoore8 : Since you are in Prescott, there is a Tesoro factory rep in Prescott that would be glad to help with a live demo on the soil - contact them for help. The Tesoro is a good workaday unit, about a 7 on the bang for the buck meter. Would be higher if it had some graphics or if the freq. was higher, but it's a lot of detector for the money - just a quick search of my own site showed several in the $600 range new. That's not bad at all for what you might find with it.
- Were you working in Arizona? I've alway's wanted to find atleast a picker with my Tesoro Lobo supertrac Just haven't found any yet. Thanks Brad
- @wotan237 - a lot closer to go to North Carolina, S Carolina, or N Georgia to learn than Nevada. Perhaps devote some time there learning to spot the likely holding places before heading West. Maine, and Vermont also have gold in quantity in the East. Good luck!
- Thanks Matt, your very helpful and I appreciate your quick replys back. I chatted with you a couple of years ago on youtube. If your ever out this way near Bozeman MT. I would be honored to meet ya and maybe do some prospecting. Your good people Matt, keep on keepin on!!!! Scotty in Montana
- Thank You for the video it is one of a kind. I have ametal detector and live in Lancaster , Ca. I have lots of mountains around me. But I did not know where to look at. Is black sand found where ever there is gold in the desert. Any help you can guide me too is appretiated. TNKXS for the vid
- What does consternation mean???
- Im gonna find me some Gooooooold!!! Nice Tutorial!!!!
- @ScootersBasement : I use the Gold Genie for gold and tilted back it also catches sapphires reliably. As for your earlier question (I can't get to that page for some reason) you want to hunt in lock, if the detector is unstable, go to ground, rebalance (pump it up and down a couple times) and leave it in ground and try hunting, if it is still unstable, go to salt, rebalance, and leave it in salt and try hunting. Very rare the MXT can't handle ground - remember to use the small coil. Good luck
