  • any idea on how a chunk of gold that size is found in the middle of a desert area?

  • @farenht456 yes, it's basically geology.. there is gold in the underlying rocks being slowly eroded out over millions of years and concerntrated on the surface.

  • If I go to australia, can I just start doing this right away or do I need permission to do this?

    Btw, Love your vid's ;)

  • @BAAAASJE it is never so simple.. but there are many areas you can prospect without too many issues..

  • How long did it take you to find that thing. How many days/hours searching. I live in Colorado which has a rich gold mining history and with the price of gold soaring I'm seriously thinkin of trying some prospecting. Gold just jumped like $20 in the past couple days! Holy crapper!

  • Usually I find one decent nugget for every 5 to 7 days detecting.. they aint too abundant and I walk and swing for miles and miles to find them..

  • I hope you have GPS logged your finds, as these may come from a common source, follow the breadcrumbs. Nuggets on the surface (less than 0.5 meters) generally indicate that deeper investigation with more powerful equipment my yield more gold. Good luck.

  • that nugget pays for the metal detector. $6375 melt if not more because its a nugget.

  • @miskoe79 He is definitely not a fake. This is the deal he gets for living in Australia.

  • Except for the flanged button tektite I haven't noticed many meteor finds. Aren't a lot of meteorites worth more than their weight in gold? I guess it's hard to find them if you have ferrites tuned out, but do you keep a look out for unusually dark and iron looking pieces? If not, it would be advisable.

    I love what you do man, living the dream. Good show.

  • Fake

  • I am watching all your videos one after another, what detector are you using?

  • @zaqqaz22 cool,it just seems like there would be multiple nuggets in a small area

  • @SirSquishyOlly
