That plastic soup ladle is a brilliant idea! Will be way quicker than doing little handfulls. I was using a plastic plate also last time I went detecting (good for scooping up decent amounts of dirt to pass over the coil).

do you have to do it in an area with particular kinds of geology? or could someone go into the bush anywhere and find some?
-
nice!
about $250-300?

this movie is so good that when you lick the nugget to taste and see if its real....thats funny ! I am going to start tasting my nuggets as well.

I need a gold detector that will pick up fine to micro fine or pinhead flakes. Thats all we've got in our canyon. Any suggestions on what kind i should buy? I would like to not empty my wallet either... around 500 mabey...

you cannot do this as a dependable source of income because gold nuggets are very rare. Over 90% of gold in the world is from microscopic particles up to 1/8'th of an inch. Gold's average concentration in the Earth's crust is 0.005 parts per million. This is compounded by the fact that you are only able to look at a depth of a few feet max with a metal detector. Also you never have a guarantee of how much is in any particular area or if there is any more there at all.

Another great video! I gotta get me one of them digging tools it sure beats carrying a shovel and a pick. So that 3.9 gram chunk is worth about $125 us (a good day's wage). Do guys in Australia do that for a living? it sure looks like you could and it's fun as well as healthy too. Sorry, one more question, every hobby has a down side, so what is this ones? bugs? knee problems? too much fun?

Nice one. I just spent a week in Vic with my new 4500, came home with only a 0.2g nugget from Manuel's Reef in Cays. Will hopefully get down to Vic again in the future months and find some more before you detect it all ;-)
well done im moving to inglewood soon to live and have an old sd 2000 in the cupboard might dust her off and give it a burl.
