Australian Gold Detecting: 2.4 Gram Gold Nugget: Garrett AT Pro: Garrett Infinium.

[stefanattardo]

thats a .22 projectile

[aaaarrrgggghh]

hi there, nice vids and great taste in music :) just trying to find out if the Infinium is much better than the sea hunter

[NQExplorers]

@aaaarrrgggghh

Thanks for watching our video aaaarrrgggghh (LOL - great name), we haven't used the Sea Hunter, so couldn't comment, but love the Infinium, great value for money and lots of raw power - I think the two units are pretty similar. We have both the 14 inch DD and 14 inch Mono coil - next purchase will be the 8 inch mono for difficult spots or long grass and in creek gullies. Best of luck mate and Happy Prospecting!

[brindabellaoffroad]

Great video

[NQExplorers]

@brindabellaoffroad

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on the video Brindabella. GL and HH mate.

[brindabellaoffroad]

@NQExplorers no worries you make great vids i rarely make it through prospecting vids 5 mins long because they get tedious but your vids are entertaining front to back keep it up. cool 'fender too.

[XXsilentsnipe357XX]

8:48 is a .22 caliber hollow point bullet

[WorkNBedrock]

Congratulations on finding that little golden beauty. There isn't anything better than hunting for buried treasure. It's like being a kid again.

[NQExplorers]

[NQExplorers]

@OkdiggerMark

Thanks very much for watching and commenting OKdiggerMark, appreciate your input mate. G'day from Australia and Happy Hunting!

[betadoctor]

@ 8:25 .. that is a so called 'Minié ball' .. early french bullet. wiki it for more info ;)

Cheers !

[NQExplorers]

@betadoctor

Thanks very much for that Betadoctor, the next time I find one, I will know what it is! Best wishes mate, thanks for watching and Happy Hunting.

[magpie307]

Well done Mrs NQ with the gold nugget, nice find, some nice relics coming up with yourself, like the small bullet, i think it might an old musket bullet just like the twin ring i found and can't identify but will get there one day lol. Great video mate keep them coming and good luck on your next outing mate.

[NQExplorers]

@magpie307

Thanks for watching magpie307, that little 'bullet', well I thought it may be a bullet, maybe from one of those tiny pistols of the time? I will measure the calibre and see if I can futher identify it. Thanks for that, off to watch your latest video now. Happy hunting.

[NQExplorers]

@magpie307

More info on the little bullet Magpie307, Janhyooz (Ian) has just found a similar item on his Isle of Wight video and identified it as a Minie bullet. Thanks for your help mate and HH.

[magpie307]

@NQExplorers

Thanks for the info mate HH mate.

[robsue]

A good trip, a nice caravan to rest in and loot to take home. Well done.

Love the Dingoes song.

[NQExplorers]

@robsue

LOL thanks Robsue, we had a great time, after a big day out the comfort of the caravan is appreciated - we have 'gone soft', used to sleep on the ground once LOL. Love that Dingoes song too - pity we couldn't had squeezed more of it in. HH mate and best of luck.

[robsue]

@NQExplorers We too always camped using tents but last year, bit the bullet and bought a van. Slight regret - not getting an off road axle but I'm sure we'll trade up one day.

[AmericanCoinHunting]

Cool digs NQE

[NQExplorers]

@AmericanCoinHunting

Much appreciated Dave, thanks for watching and keep entertaining us with your great outings mate. HH and best of luck.

[DiggingNorway]

persitence persistence.... you are real goldrush-treassure hunters thats for sure. respect!! so cool to find relics from old goldminers :) great video, HH!

[NQExplorers]

@DiggingNorway

Thanks for watching DN, best thing about the old goldfields, if you are not finding gold, you can go relic hunting and there is always something interesting that comes to light. Best of luck on your next trip out and HH.

[crampoable]

great to see mrs NQ find a bit of the yellow stuff,  enjoyed the hole video.

waiting for the next one.

cheers crampo

enjoy your adventures & good prospecting

[NQExplorers]

@crampoable

Thanks Crampo, hope to get more out there on the next trip, Mrs NQ's leading the way now. Happy prospecting mate.

[Ringo853]

how many hours in total please?

[NQExplorers]

@Ringo853

Hi Ringo, thanks for watching. Do you mean how many hours detecting in total?

[Ringo853]

@Ringo853 yes please

[1963Willo]

Another terrific video NQ and Mrs NQ. Loved the opening song it sounds a different version from the original version.. Well done Mrs NQ on that nugget a terrific find and a testimony to your detecting skills. Surely there is more there! GL and HH for your next adventure. Stunned at how hot it was - I was in the Tully area but it was only in the high 20s last week!

[NQExplorers]

@1963Willo

Thanks for watching and commenting Willo, that is the original Dingoes version of 'Way out West' (1973). The temp - back on the coast, as you say, high 20s, middle of the Cape, high 30s, but cooled down a little at night so sleeping was possible LOL. Fortunately the humidity is still low so the first storms are some time off, the fires in the tinder-dry grass are the threat at the moment. Best wishes and HH mate, keep up the great finds and videos!

[TreasurDiggrNY]

Thanks for sharing your week in the gold fields, great setup with the defender and the camper. Congrats on the finds NQ, congrats to Mrs. NQ on the nugget score, very nice, great video. GL and HH.

[NQExplorers]

@TreasurDiggrNY

Thanks for watching and commenting TreasurDiggrNY, much appreciated. Well our setup is hardly 'roughing' it, sure a lot easier than the Old Timers did it in the goldfields during the rushes. HH mate and best of luck.

[madsonicboating]

brilliant video mate thanks for taking us along on your adventure!! that footage makes me want to sell up and over lol...except for the 38deg C !!!!

[NQExplorers]

@madsonicboating

Thanks for watching from "Over the ditch", you are welcome to come over any time, but not sure if they will let anyone leave until the Rugby World Cup is over LOL. HH mate and best of luck.

[PacificTreasureHunt]

Wow.. Agate hunting, gold hunting, relic hunting.. wild animals.. couldn't ask for more!

[NQExplorers]

@PacificTreasureHunt

Thanks for watching PTH, appreciate you taking the time to comment. HH mate and best of luck.

[fluoridekid]

It's an enjoyable experience watching your video, especially when Mrs NQ find gold, big congratulations to her, of course. She's the gold lady, whereas from now on, you're tha button man :) Love the agate hunt, in fact I love doing that myself. What more could I ask for, wildlife, scenery and delicious finds, well done and thanks for sharing, can't wait for your next video. Good hunting and stay safe :D

[NQExplorers]

@fluoridekid

Thanks for your comments Flouridekid, much appreciated, we are going to try to put up some more gemstone fossicking as there are areas here for topaz, agate, sapphires and even the occasional rare diamond. More trips planned so will do videos whenever we can. HH mate and best wishes.

[fluoridekid]

@NQExplorers Brilliant!! Whilst I have a great passion for metal detecting, I have another for what you call 'Fossicking' and your reply has got my pulse racing. I'm sat on the edge of my seat, fingers on the keyboard just waiting to see what you manage to find. Whilst I envy you being in Australia, I don't fancy the heat, snakes, crocs, spiders or anything else seen as being dangerous. HH :D

[dogahog]

As always fantastic vid! Nice find by Mrs NQ beautiful country over your way with plenty of history.

[NQExplorers]

@dogahog

Thanks dogahog, beautiful country for sure, but so dry now and I reckon the fires, when they get going, are going to be bad this year, but that means better detecting next year LOL. HH mate and best of luck.

[MichaelSwan66]

Nice nugget Mrs's NQ congrats :) wonderful trip thanks guys for taking us along :) neat match box tin and pretty agate's and wonderful to see all the wild life :)HH!

[NQExplorers]

@MichaelSwan66

Thanks for watching Michael, tried to put the whole experience into this vid LOL. HH mate and best of luck.

[garbageguru1]

Excellent outing mate! Hard to top gold and wildlife! Saw a fellas video where he used a grader to get below where the miners hand dug and found some BIG nuggets! Gotta be some laying around waiting on you to find them! Amazing the old guys found as much as they did with the way they had to do it! Can't get over those big rigs with all the trailers.At least they don't have to back up one of those monsters! You and Mrs.NQ make a great team! Sorry the shoes fell victim to the terrain!

[NQExplorers]

@garbageguru1

Thanks for watching and commenting GarbageGuru. Well the gold is out there alright, and the big nuggets pop up now and then if you are lucky. Couldnt resist putting the Road Train in, I love 'em LOL. They are 50 metres long and when one is coming the other way - you just get off the road. HH mate and best of luck.

[EchucaDigger]

Great video, great hunt and an ass kicking from the mrs!! Loved it dude. E.D

[NQExplorers]

@EchucaDigger

Thanks mate, yeah she's giving me curry over that gold LOL. She's got the AT Pro under control in a short period of time. Love to go back out there soon but the wet isnt far off and the storms will start, then you cant get in/out, could be a longer than planned holiday - although on second thoughts thats not a bad thing LOL. HH mate.

[mkcooper02]

great find NQE look forward to your vids great opening song HH

[NQExplorers]

@mkcooper02

Thanks Mkcooper02, yeah love the old Dingos song, considered stretching out the start to include more of it, but the vid was already long enough LOL. HH mate and best of luck.

[tannyb1972]

Fantastic video...just discovered your vids and I am thoroughly enjoying them. Great job guys!!!!!



[NQExplorers]

@tannyb1972

Thanks for watching and commenting TannyB, much appreciated, more videos coming soon.

[NQExplorers]

@les122466

Thanks for watching and commenting Les122466, happy hunting mate and best of luck.

[GrizzlyGroundswell]

Now that is Temerity!!! Hey you two are rock stars! Gold Rock Stars! Hey you two are having way too much fun finding the gold and some really stunning relic finds! I found a button today but wouldn't you know it, I lost the darn thing! Tomorrow I will go back and try to find it!

[NQExplorers]

@GrizzlyGroundswell

Thanks for watching Chad, hope you get your button back LOL. You know we dug almost 40 buttons over a few days, and each night would count them to make sure we hadn't dropped any LOL. Best thing about the old buttons is they are all branded with a makers name, which gives them a real historical context. HH mate and best of luck on your next.

[AmericanCoinHunting]

Great videos & finds...Thanks for uploading & posting man.

[NQExplorers]

@AmericanCoinHunting

Thanks for taking the time to watch Dave, keep up the great videos, your setting the silver pace mate. HH.

[MrMrtiki]

some good finds

[NQExplorers]

@MrMrtiki

Thanks for watching our video and commenting MrMrtiki. HH and best of luck.

[hellsmetaldetecting]

Nice gold flake!! My dream is to just do this.. Travel to Australia with my detector and go for gold.. Oh well, im just glad im finding silver coins now and then! But gold nuggets!! Come on... I want that in my nature to!!

[NQExplorers]

@hellsmetaldetecting

Thanks for watching, love to have you out here, and bring your detector, lots of country to cover and definitely plenty more gold to find, HH in Norway and best of luck.

[moleman1961]

Nice hunt! Any Snakes?!

[NQExplorers]

@moleman1961

Amazingly, not a single snake spotted on this trip, unusual because September/October is breeding season and they can be quite active, although we always make sure we make plenty of noise in the long grass to keep them away. HH mate and thanks for watching.

[OLDGOLD1100]

Geat vid and I did watch it until the end lol. Nice bit of gold, well done!!. Thanks for posting.

Good luck for next time matey!!!.

[NQExplorers]

@OLDGOLD1100

Thanks for sitting through 19 minutes LOL, edited down from about 40 LOL. A few more videos from the trip in the next couple of weeks when I get the editing done. HH mate and best of luck.

[Donringpull77]

Another awesome vid m8,sweet finds. grats to mrs NQ finding the nugget, is agate worth anything? G'day from Hastings U.K. HH and takecare :)

[NQExplorers]

@Donringpull77

Thanks Donringpull77, well the agate can be worth quite a bit when it is cut and polished for jewellery setting, you can get very large and beautiful pieces further upstream, as well as "Thunder Eggs" and crystal geodes. Its always a good idea to keep your eyes to the ground out there, so much to find LOL. HH mate and best of luck.

[Janhyooz]

Hi Warren, great video as usual, mate, very entertaining, congratulations to Mrs NQ on the gold nugget. All the best to you both and HH, Ian.

[NQExplorers]

@Janhyooz

Much appreciated Ian, when she got the nugget, first thought was to stringline the site "Like Janhyooz" LOL. No string of course, just used some strategically placed rocks, to the same effect. HH mate and best of luck.

[farenheit1100]

Wonderful video again. Where else could you do it all in one trip, gold prospect, relic hunt, and hunt for agates? Watching the wildlife and the road train kind of reminds me of the old movie "Alice to Nowhere". Congrats to M\s. NQ on the nugget. I am sure she will find a good use for it. GL and Hh Hugh

[NQExplorers]

@farenheit1100

Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment Hugh, had to put the road train in because I like big, noisy things LOL. Thanks for your help with the Snider information. HH with your new detector mate and best of luck.

[Bentley240]

Great fun as usuall, nicely put together, thanks for sharing, Andy

[NQExplorers]

@Bentley240

Thanks for watching and commenting Andy, we visited an old WW2 radar site on the same trip so hope to have that video up in the next week or so. HH mate.

[Bentley240]

@NQExplorers Hi, your welcome mate, the radar site sounds right up my street, I look forward to it, regards Andy

[Bentley240]

@NQExplorers Hi your welcome mate, the radar site sounds right up my street, i look forward to it, regards Andy

[jacktreasurehunter]

looks nice and dry up that way. i heard their been fires already in qld. good to see you using pinpointer, i went out with 4 veteran detectorist a few weeks back, all doing the cup swing over the coil. none ever used a pinpointer probe, glad you found some gold. congrats

[NQExplorers]

@jacktreasurehunter

Thanks for watching Jacktreasurehunter, yep fires have started here, lots of dry grass from last summers big wet, once they get into that gulf country they will burn for weeks. HH mate and keep your great adventures coming.

[SuperJammygit]

what a lovely country,,you are very lucky,,well done on the nugget,, and ,im amazed how many buttons your finding,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,reall­y great video

[NQExplorers]

@SuperJammygit

Thanks SuperJammgit, I think we found close to 40 old branded buttons on the trip, dont know what those old timers were doing with their clothing LOL. All in lovely condition too because of the mostly dry conditions. HH mate and best of luck.

[Yulelah]

Awesome video and hunt ! Congrats on all your finds and good luck on your next hunt !

[NQExplorers]

@Yulelah

Thanks for watching our video Yulelah, over to your channel now to catch up on what we missed while we were away. HH mate and best of luck.

[IrocOn2]

Great Video Mr & Mrs NQ - a real adventure in the Aussie outback. A trip such as yours not only creates new memories and stories to be told and re-told - but for many viewers - brings back memories of trips taken in the near and distant past. I enjoyed the scenery - the wildlife - the humour and the fact that Mrs NQ is a force to be reckoned with on any Gold expedition you may be planning for the future. Well done Mrs NQ...and Mr NQ...keep watching Mrs NQ...and don't give up. LOL Cheers GL & HH

[NQExplorers]

@IrocOn2

Thanks for your comments Iroc, after day 3, I was following her around closely, quite the prospector she is (unlike myself LOL). Probably time she started her own channel LOL, HH mate and best of luck.

[PeaceHavens]

Brilliant - that road train and goanna bring back memories of our round trip in 1973 - our gold searches were out Southern Cross and Coolgardie way ... HH

[NQExplorers]

@PeaceHavens

Thanks for watching Ged, by the age of that old goanna, he was probably one you saw back in '73 mate LOL. Off to watch your latest now. HH and best of luck mate.

[OregonPepper]

I love watching your videos, you sure have a nice range of relics, gold and gems. HH

[NQExplorers]

@OregonPepper

Thanks for your comment OregonPepper, always nice to come home with something LOL. HH mate.

[silvervella]

It's good to know that the AT Pro can find gold in Australia,I'm glad that I purchased one and can't wait to get out into the goldfields in Victoria,congrats on the gold nugget

[NQExplorers]

@silvervella

Thanks for watching Silvervella, well the ATPro was a big success, with the stock DD coil, wasnt really bothered by hot ground or false signals, and it found the gold. Great detector, best of luck in the Golden Triangle mate and Happy Prospecting.
