Finding your first gold nugget (Part 1) 

Mohammed Novalija Thanks Mohammed, I do enjoy sharing my experiences, especially passing on a little of what I’ve learnt over the years. So many people get caught up in how big the gold is, this video has taught me that many appreciate the skill and sense of achieve in finding small bits in heavily hit ground. Thanks again for your comments. :)

@@BKGoldDetecting There is a saying that I haven't managed to incorporate into my Life - There was a man who complained about not having a pair of shoes , until he met a man who had no feet. Don't allow smoke and mirrors to cloud the truth.

Thanks Gary, been surprised how popular this video has been, it’s not all about big gold. Best place to learn good skills is in an old area that’s been hit hard. Real challenge to find what others have missed.

Thanks….

Jori Thanks :) it takes time to consistently find gold. What you don’t see in my videos is the days or weeks I sometimes go without gold. It all pays off when suddenly out of the junk comes a nice piece. Or better still you find a patch. Many people give up before the point where they gain the confidence to thoroughly detect an area where they are confident gold SHOULD be. I am very big on looking for the signs of gold by observing the ground and any old workings. Once I am confident that all the signs are right I go over every square inch in a small area and am more often than not successful. Hope this helps and keep watching :) BK

Thanks Shirley, I am making a series of videos for beginners as this video has really taken off. Thanks for subscribing :) if you think of anyone else who may be interested would be nice if you can share the link :) BK

Very true, too many people walk away from the rich spots looming for new ground. Occasionally works but the old timers could sniff it out from miles away. I have had most luck following their clues.

Thanks Doug, best investment ever, it’s a Rhinorack Batwing.

Thanks Andrew, I will soon be making a few more detailed videos showing settings.

BK Gold Detecting thanks, that would be really helpful

Paul Lake Hi Paul, in my experience the best way to get your first nugget is to pick a small area and go over it thoroughly. Walking around is often non productive as it’s very easy to walk corridors that others have walked. I rarely go out without finding at least a few small ones by going over every inch of an area that should contain gold. Watch for more videos soon that will hopefully help. BK

@@BKGoldDetecting thank you for your sage advice, I'll do that next time I head out.

carol matthews Thanks Carol, can’t wait to get back out there once this is all over.

Thanks, been surprised at the response. Most of my WA videos show big gold and this one with just a few bits seems to have taken off.

Thanks Stuart, I will soon be putting out some more videos where I will go into settings a bit more. Thanks for watching BK

@@BKGoldDetecting awesome mate, cant wait 👍👍 Hope you had a Happy Australia Day too 🥳

Thanks Dan, I never wear steel capped boots, I use the ones electricians wear, they have a composite cap.

@@BKGoldDetecting I have watched heaps of prospecting vids and thought no way there wearing steel caps and never thought about "composite " boots, but thank you for your reply mate "happy hunting"

Definitely, a change of pace from my WA season. So much ground there that low and slow goes out the window. :) But here in Victoria I’m definitely a low and slow fan.

@@BKGoldDetecting I will find out in May as it will be my first time in WA for detecting :). Good luck to you over there .

Unfortunately detectors aren’t cheap. I did have a gold Monster for a while and in the right hands it will find gold. There are plenty of gold monster specific videos out there. Well worth a watch. Personally I would go for a second hand early series GPX detector if your on a budget.

@@BKGoldDetecting Thanks for that, I will have a look at them as well.

Hi Reuben, thanks for watching. I will soon be putting out some more videos where I will discuss settings a bit more. BK

Inglewood:) tbh it’s no better than most areas of Inglewood. Seems to be workings everywhere you look.

Darrel Ellis Ha Ha, didn’t realize I was a design guru. :) well I normally wear Katmandu or Mountain design shirts as they are SPF 50 and very cool in the hot weather. My pack is a Camel Bak, the one used my US military, very tough.

@@BKGoldDetecting LoL cool 👍 thanks

Like any hobby the person who sells the equipment makes money… the boat you buy for fishing, the caravan you buy for camping, the golf clubs for golf. I’ve had immense pleasure for many years out of the $10,000 I spent on my detector. The difference is I do pay for my fuel plus more, I never catch enough fish to pay the fuel for my boat. But then I’m a lousy fisherman. :)

Still here Glen, been a while since I’ve been out detecting. Hoping to resume soon.

In Queensland. Seeing it all before it's gone. Next week, we will begin to move across into the Clermont Regions. Thru to the far west to The Curry, then into the Gulf. We will be checking areas for the illusive specks of Dazzling AU = 79! We are Desporia Hebrews. And we use a Sacred Scrolls Numbers system passed on from Hadamn & Chavah.
