I love this I've been hooked on the motherlode since 2018 I drove out from Boston lived in a van for 3 years living off gold , I not only did it but grew and learned so much and I have continued to repeat my Pioneering west and have found large specimen gold 🎉

Ed Coogan is a legend in the goldmining world...and there is no better metal detectorist, plus he is a war hero! I have the pleasure of spending lots of time with Ed and his beautiful wife, Kate. Two of the finest people you will meet. He is 92, now and we were out metal detecting just 2 weeks ago in Mariposa County with more trips planned. Thank you for this video. Rusty

@LearnTheWild 4 месяца назад

I'd give almost anything to join along some nugget hunting trips with Ed. I'm in Valley Springs, Calaveras County. I would even forfeit any gold found by me if that's what it would take. I do fairly well, I consistently find nuggets. But there is so much nuanced detail you only learn by being mentored by one of the greats, or making the same mistakes. And then, hopefully, you build on top of it. If that knowledge isn't passed on, who will iterate on it if you talk it home to the afterlife making the same mistakes Ed for sure made and I have and absolutely wil too again.

This is particularly interesting to me because I used to pasture my horse on the Harvard mine property. This was several years before they dug that huge mine pit that left an awful scar on the land. My guess is there is still plenty of gold in the Mother Lode, especially in the Jamestown area.

You can still take gold out of the rivers in California. You just can’t dredge them. There are still rivers like the American river and the Yuba that you can take gold out of legally. But you can pan and you can use a very small sluce. None of it can be mechanical, but you can certainly use a sluce and pan for gold in the rivers in California. As well as metal detect.

@koltoncrane3099 2 месяца назад

Ya idk. With Cali losing people and then having open borders you’d think the politicians would be like. Hmm. We need to increase tax receipts so let’s open up the rivers to dredging at least for a couple years. Honestly they could close down a river and just up it up ever five or ten years if they’re super concerned about the environment but still care about making money in taxes.

@koltoncrane3099 2 месяца назад

But then again taxes from gold is a drop in the bucket probably compared to big tech. Did you know rich people in Cali can invest 50 million in a startup and sell it for 5 billion dollars and have it all be tax free. They sell the company and make it a public company listed in New York stock exchange or something but they can get 5 billion tax free. If the company sells above that they can roll the money over into a new company. It’s crazy the tax loopholes that exist. I remember talking to a realtor about it in Utah. He’s like well the tax loopholes help real estate boom here with all the tech companies and moving workers. It’s kind of crazy though lots of rich people invest 50 million and sell for 5 billion tax free. It’s amazing cause you rarely ever hear of tax free income

Large gold nuggets will register as iron. Must dig everything. Tone is the key. Not The iron meter A good detector will hear the rigid edges of a dime.

@steveperry1344 8 месяцев назад

hello. so is the gold in this state combined with the quartz more valuable than the actual gold itself as a decorative piece or do they eventually process it out?

@goldnuggetsales 8 месяцев назад

Hi Steve, gold found like this carries a premium as most gold is microscopic dust and only about 2% is found in nuggets or gold and quartz. A piece like this would fetch 1.3 to 1.5 spot price.
