Ive been back 3 times since and found a few more but didnt get video of them. Actually I found 7 nuggets in this small 10 x 10 ft area. A little patch of nugs. All the others were under the big one as I took off some material to get down to bedrock and there they were. I havent found anymore, any where else in the area. Just in that small 10 foot area.

The Infinium is a great machine, but it is designed for gold prospecting and diving secondary. If your not going to hunt nuggets the the Garrett Mark II might be a better fit.

good job...

looks like you have the potential to find more there given the lay of the land you showed panning around with the camera... good luck!

Yes many old tailings at this site as there were 9 mines back up in this area. I have been back in that old mine with nothing much there but calicium on the walls from water. Thanks for the tip about the toxins as I have had arsenic poinsening before. Lots of iron bits in the tailings as with all tailing I explore, but no gold yet in them.

Do you think the AT pro is better or the Infinium for Gold nugget shooting in Rye Patch area NV?

Thanks

@bearkat4160 It just goes to show they are still out there!!!! A metal detector is my next investment, doing the same thing with a highbanker or sluice or even a dredge is a huge more amount of work. With a detector it could get you into some good finds....

Man that must be such a thrill to find gold like that!

...if your survey of the cave pans out you could siphon the water up to 30 feet

~that would kill the cave micro ecosystem if it is always flooded, which must be consider in your bottom line.
