I have video where I call out a couple of the frauds by name. Maybe too aggressive but I thought I'd go for it and have a little fun. I have had folks comment on that video tell me that I am an idiot because those gold finds are real and I just don't understand. Good for a chuckle but I've had far more folks that agreed with me than disagreed. Maybe we can have some general prospecting chats together this summer.

@urcAnos 3 года назад

Better you can not say! For me the most important thing every time I go out to look for gold is to spend a few days in nature enjoying the landscape, (seeing deer, foxes, otters, newts ... it is a great treasure) disconnected from work and the big city. Many days you clean the paradise of garbage and a few you find nuggets, but overall they are all good. Greetings Bill great video of the best tutorials 👌

Good work sir, digging trash is a well known secret calling. 🤫 You gotta dig up, pick up and scoop up all trash possible. It’s a drag finding tons as you well know. No matter.. It’s a solid good practice and principle! Dig it up, put it in your pocket, take it home, trash it. Thanks much Bill ✌️PT

Enjoyed the video, thank you. As weather permits, I'll be shooting for placer on a grouping of claims that have long been closed. It's steep, mountainous terrain bordering a lava bed, so not the easiest area for an old man to traverse, but I'm going to enjoy being there. I've learned to pace myself and will be with family, so no mater what, I'll have found gold just by getting out there. 👍

@thesecret2 6 месяцев назад

i been metal detecting for about thirty years, i like it because its good exercise i love it because you can get out look at nature that surrounds you, even a few old coins maybe small nuggests every once in a blue moon,.. but i do know what your talking about,...

@cushmonavitch1 3 года назад

The number one pointer I give out is if your not in the right frame of mind, if your not committed to being patient or being slow and thorough, (fully knowing you may not find any gold), Your not going to find much. As soon as I learned that, it was almost like I cracked the code. If that day you don’t have the patience for detecting, just run the drywasher or stay home. Love the video, and I couldn’t agree more with your words of wisdom!

Very cool review--relaxed in the shade, like you're talking to me in the beautiful Sonoran Desert. Mouth shut and ears open. Very good points. Your videos taught me how to be better with my detector (Gold Monster). I've detected the Mojave Desert in California but now we are in Congress AZ and having to learn to read the soil and practicing on our own property within sight of the Congress workings. Great job.

@Kevin-ow3oc 2 года назад

A couple of your RU-vid peers turned me on to you and they had nothing but praise about you. I have to agree that just being out country detecting and enjoying the outdoors make it a good day even without finds. Gold is icing on the cake. The worst day detecting beats the best day at work anytime. That's an old retired guys version of a better saying. Thank you for the great videos Bill!

Excellently put! in your neck of the woods for 10 days. I’ve found little over three Penny weight. One of the guys in our group got a little over a half an ounce. No one has less than 30 years of experience running detectors. There were five of us . Actual time running the detectors was about 20 hours each

@zemetrius 3 года назад

i have agree with what your saying about loving it out there, since i joined the GSSN here in las vegas i have been going out to their claims as much as time would allow, i always look forward to going out there, its a complete opposite from what i experience here in the city. i always look forward to your video's, those who say the gold you find is small, has never seen or held real gold in their hand, the gold you have been showing in your video is awesome to see, who cares what size the piece is, gold is gold. keep up the great video's.

Great information love this video. Wondering if you could do a video on different areas to look for gold in the desert. Such as washes, side hills, tops of hills etc. and do you always need to be on bedrock to find gold with a VLF detector. Thanks i am new to all this and have been working washes and haven’t found a thing yet.

I've been watching your videos for a couple of months now. I really enjoy them. Thought I would leave a comment on this one since its a recent one. I just purchased a MineLab Nox 800 based largely on your recommendations and your videos. You videos are digital gold. I really really enjoy them. I'm next door in NM and was looking for videos for the desert SW. I lived in the Prescott area for a number of years in the 1990's into the 2000's. I did a fair amount of digging in that area. Still love that area and visit often, but I like smaller crowds even better. Thanks for the information and the entertainment. Looking forward to learning the machine and getting out there.

Thank you for the valuable information in all your videos. As of yet I am only a coin and relic detectorist, but I have a desire to hunt for gold with a detector as well. I plan to buy my first gold machine when I get my bonus in December and have decided to start with the Gold Monster 1000 based on the videos I have watched and the cost of the machine. I have enjoyed all the videos you have dedicated to this machine. Thank you, Bob from southern Oregon

@illmsg77 3 года назад

Great advice man. Living here in Henderson, NV and not being apart of a club or anybody with any knowledge of metal detecting its overwhelming. I guess thats the word for it.

@dave9351 Месяц назад

Attitude is everything and giving thanks for the small things such as seeing a roadrunner or a horny toad or especially a beautiful sunrise on a crisp, cool morning in the desert that is normally a foreboding place. The nuggets (when they are found) is just the icing on the cake. Back when I was a member of the Taft Prospectors Mining Group, I must have pulled a pound of lead bullets out of the Garlock Mts and had a blast doing it. You make perfect sense to me sir ! Thank you for sharing this video. Liked / Subscribed

I've actually found some gold and use my detector to find samples that had gold in it including a very small picker. I love the desert and I don't have a lot of energy to be out and it very long but I enjoy every minute I'm out. Hopefully I'll actually find a nugget with my Minelab Equinox 800. I am happy though that it tells me there's something in the soil you better take it! LOL thank you for being truthful in your videos.
