Metal Detecting Gold in Western Australia 2019 pt 2 

Good on you mate, remember to dig every target even when your brain is saying it cant be gold its too loud, recheck your hole after removing target because gold is sneaky and will hide under rubbish deeper in the ground and if its got your name on it then of course you will find gold, Dunolly is a great area to start so best luck out there, have fun and l look forward to the results, cheers NM.

What kind of detector is he using in the video?

It happened in an instant and took me a while to process, an after thought based on the colour was metal burning up as it entered our atmosphere, l have seen different metals burning blue/green in the fire and thought that might explain the bright green l saw, how awesome it would have been to catch that on film, however fortunately l did catch one mysterious night event l will soon upload, l mean really weird for me being out there in the bush with no clue as to what l was seeing, l look forward to an explanation and glad you enjoyed the vid, cheers NM.

Gidday Ben, half way back to the fields and should be detecting by Friday, sure is a tough game mate, you gotta love it, we will attempt to raise the ph up the pole again so hopefully should have a signal for texts and attempting to upload tonight also while l have ceppy, stay well mate and talk soon, cheers Russ.

Thanks Troy, all the best mate, cheers NM.

Great you enjoyed mate, it felt a bit like the early days too, l couldn`t believe it, you just have to keep looking and stay positive, thanks for the great feedback, hopefully one day l will find the source but is probably the carrot that keeps me going, you just got to love the challenge, cheers Russell.

That's why going back over a patch at 90 degrees can uncover more targets, sweeping through the length of the nugget this time instead of across its narrow side which is easier to miss, cheers for the comment, NM.

will be great when they open the borders and l can get back

Good to hear mate and glad you enjoyed, gotta love the challenge, cheers NM.

Your welcome Kevin, after months of solo in the bush its great to share and better still next trip with the lad, cheers mate, NM.

Glad you enjoyed mate, l reckon the nuggets come on the bite just like fish, tight lines, cheers NM.

Thanks mate for that great feedback, it is an adventure and cant wait to take the lad along next trip, really glad you enjoyed and cheers for the thumbs up, NM.

@@TheNuggetMagnet No Probs at all, thats 2 thumbs up now. ;) Enjoy your night

Thanks Robert, lm sure its the positive vibe being sent that keeps those targets appearing, really glad you enjoy the videos and keep that positive energy coming, cheers mate, NM.

Glad you enjoyed Brian, those flies are always stealing the spotlight, cheers mate, NM.

A lucky start but can it continue? glad you enjoyed mate, cheers NM.

@@TheNuggetMagnet I'm sending the good spirt your way again'... Just to be sure. Trick is desifering the signs.

@@done1012 Good on you mate, l definitely saw signs of a possible gold deposit from panning samples, anyway with you guys watching l have more eyes and ears to help with the hunt, keep up the great vibes because lm sure they make the videos, cheers NM.

Couple of clunkers there that just happened to be in my path, it all comes back to luck, cheers mate, NM.

Thanks Tony, its still in the cleaning process and should come up nice, cheers Russ.

A lot of luck in finding this patch, it was on the way and an area l wanted to test out the new coil knowing there was deep ground in there, thought l might jag a big speci, did not expect a patch and it was great to get filming straight up, glad you enjoy mate and appreciate the feedback, cheers NM.

Thanks mate, a couple of nice clunkers starting to show up, very deep ground and l bet full of small nuggets down low, maybe more clunkers real deep, really hope you get something out of the uploads that helps in your search, cheers NM.

@@TheNuggetMagnet I recently found a 20.6 gram specimen was pretty cool I have a little video of it and also had a 8gram day panning.... I don't know if the air is just funny out here but it is really hard to get the 4500 tuned in always chatter , I've started to turn the threshold down that helps

@@bedrockbennett1827 Nice pick up, that is cool and 8 grams in the pan, fantastic, you need those days and are well deserved, the chatter sounds more electro than mineralisation, mineralisation comes and goes and is ground specific, usually in patches whereas electrical will affect entire areas and is much harder to escape, there are places on this planet where electric fields will make your hair stand up so if your not seeing overhead power lines or radio towers and the problem is not just in that one area then go through the elimination process starting with power cord, connections, leads, etc, because there will be more gold where you found that speci, keep up the great work and best luck out there, cheers NM.

@@TheNuggetMagnet thank you I will go through the dector I've been wanting to get a new coil and that nugget finder is a hot item it's just a little big for what I do

@@bedrockbennett1827 No worries, the 14" in the same range would be just as deadly, its hard to go past a Nugget Finder coil, hope you get it sorted, let me know, cheers mate.

Gidday Russ, a couple of beauties amongst that lot, l reckon that place is full of deep gold, it could go down metres, it makes for good video anyway, maybe an even bigger coil for next time, really glad you enjoy the hunt, cheers Russ, Russ.

Thanks Dave, l appreciate the feedback, sometimes its a shame l only get the one take, now the flies, well l could fine tune that video, cheers mate NM.

Thanks mate, l can never be sure, that camera has better hearing and vision than me, glad you enjoy the videos, cheers NM.

Thanks Nigel, cheers mate.

Thanks Mel, glad you enjoyed mate, 2017 pt 2 had a nice one in it too, cheers and stay well

Thanks mate, l have found an interesting place already for next trip so you never know, really glad you enjoy the uploads and cheers for the positive feedback, NM.

Yes mate just the grip, l must have been a bit rough with the plastic ones so this has worked out well, stay well mate

That's right mate, its the great escape to the bush, an exit off the fast lane, time goes even faster out there but at least there are no honking horns, cheers mate, NM.

Glad you enjoyed Gordon, the low/high signals do get the imagination running but still l enjoy even the smallest finds, cheers mate, NM.

Good! Then you can come with me the next time I get there. I'll find the nuggets and you do the digging. I can't swing that gear anymore. Regards, Chris.

Yeah that was a beauty, down deep and had the feel of some real old gold, glad you enjoyed mate, cheers NM.

Thanks Jay, l appreciate that great feedback, l was so lucky to find that area and get good footage of those deeper finds, l am always happy to share what l see, glad you enjoy mate, cheers Russell.

That one was worth pinching, hope you enjoyed mate, cheers NM.

TheNuggetMagnet Agree. Sitting there waiting for you. Your videos are great and remind me what I miss....the chase.

@@KT-ki2nv It is addictive so l hear you, really good you enjoy the videos and cheers for the great feedback, NM.

Thanks Tyrone, lt takes a bit more time and a third arm would be helpful but always good to have close at hand, glad you enjoyed mate, cheers NM.

I found a bit over the years but nothing big, l reckon thats what keeps me coming back, maybe oneday, cheers mate, hope you enjoyed, NM.

Agreed, way more sensitive on smaller and deeper gold and just for the record, viewers and especially patrons invested in the new coil to see better videos so thanks to everyone, l love it, cheers NM.

Absolutely. Watch NM here, (including his older videos), and WestOzAdventures, they use the Aus$10,000 GPZ 7000 and the GPX 5000 worth Aus$5000 and of course Minelab Gold. All these guys use these machines because they definitely pay their way :)

@@2Qwk2C Thanks. Thats bad news for me though. No way can I justify that kind of money. Where I look a piece the size of a dime would be a once in a lifetime find. Almost all are barely big enough to detect. Still, a really good detector keeps praying on my mind.

Gidday mate, l haven't used a whites so couldn`t say but forums and reviews usually give up a fair bit of info, research what they are finding and at what depth and that will give a fair comparison, you can also get lucky with secondhand 4500,s and 5000,s, heaps cheaper and excellent machines, happy hunting, cheers NM.

@@TheNuggetMagnet Thanks bud.

@@roysterfutrell8889, I have a GPX 5000 and a trusty old $50 detector I bought from Kmart over 15 ears ago. So far my $50 has found a couple thousand dollars more stuff than the GPX. What you really need to do is sort what you're going to be looking for. Maybe, for those smaller pieces of gold a MineLab SDC 2300 would be the way to go. Second hand they can be quite reasonable. Plus they're a great detector. As for the Whites and Garrets etc, I don't know much about them. As Russell said, you really need to check them out here on the tube. Good luck mate :)

Gidday Andrew, still here in QLD and waiting for the WA border to open but its not looking good, l think its going to be a no show this yr, glad you enjoy the vids and look forward to making more, cheers NM.

Thankyou mate, all the best to you, cheers NM.

I love them low/highs, glad you enjoyed mate, cheers NM.

Great comment, that noise l liked was a LOW/HIGH signal or an inverted signal as opposed to a HIGH/LOW, a LOW/HIGH indicates a deeper target which is a more exciting dig and normally a larger target, so l know l am about to get some good footage and a nice nugget, hence my favourite noise, the reason for the new coil is later technology, Rohan at Nuggetfinder Coils who l have never met but is always there to help recommended this coil, its 2" wider giving me more depth and with new wiring techniques proved to be super sensitive on the smaller pieces, l get a bit heavy handed with that edit button imagining people just want to see gold, l can start to throw in a bit more info, cheers mate, NM.

TheNuggetMagnet wow thanks for the quick and informative reply. You certainly live in a great area for this hobby. I used to live in Perth when I was in the Army. Now live in Abu Dhabi. When I return to Aus I want to take up this amazing skill you have. I know it’s not All beer and skittles but it seems very interesting to me. A good bit of Aussie history I reckon we need to keep it going. Thanks again.

@@mrtracyut No worries, always happy to share and l enjoyed your question, cheers NM.

Thanks Greg, its a learning curve but what a great coil, shouldn't be too long before it feels natural, cheers mate, Russell.

Thanks mate l can never be sure what the camera picks up but it definitely hears better than me, l do have fly repellent but ultimately you just have to ignore the flies, spit out the ones that make it into the net and stay focused, between the flies, heat and isolation its no wonder there is still gold out there, cheers Russell.

That was a nice little patch, cant wait to get back

Thankyou, slow and steady over a small area listening hard for the faint signals can pay off, glad you enjoyed mate, cheers NM.

@@TheNuggetMagnet i hope u will fine big gold nugget someday,thanks fr sharing yr video..

Cheers mate, an episode with 2 clunkers, yeeha, glad you enjoyed, NM.

@@TheNuggetMagnet that meteorite would have been awesome, there's been a bloody lot of them last few months.

@@goldmagnet Might have been space junk re-entering, it happened in a flash but was awesome, caught some other weird phenomena one night also, will share soon, cheers mate.

Thanks Swen, glad you enjoyed mate, congrats on your nice 4.2 grammer, hope you enjoyed your trip, cheers NM.

Thanks Tommy, all the best mate, cheers NM.

Thanks Peter, glad you enjoyed, The WA goldfields consist mainly of stations and most mining leases are staked on the stations, access is still possible by 40e permits, lease holder permission and pending leases, l stay off the smaller lease holder claims and focus on the big company leases when they are pending, l look forward to my first detect in Vic, cheers mate, NM.

Glad you enjoyed mate and cheers for the comment, NM.

Glad you enjoyed mate and l really appreciate the great feedback, cheers NM.

Glad you enjoyed mate and should have pt 3 on the table soon, you know its just luck, some even say they have your name on them, its just getting out there and giving it a go, you stay safe too mate, cheers NM.

TheNuggetMagnet I know all about it being luck, l do loads of detecting here in the UK, Bit of know how involved, but mostly luck 👍

Hi Samuel, l have on occasion depending on the type of ground, close to a reef l would and clay deposits when l found nuggets, the gold in the pan at the start of my 2019 season videos is a good example, it was a clay deposit, cheers mate, NM.

@@TheNuggetMagnet what is the title i can search for?

@@samueldavis843 Heres the address for that one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uJBKiroxLus.html this will be the place l am heading next season to continue testing.

It is mate and l suspect quite deep in places, l doubt l will ever be finished there, flies in my breaky are sultanas and in my coffee they are choc bits or as you see you can swallow them whole, some are only 3mm long and get in small tears in the netting from trees, it amazes me that something that weighs nothing can navigate with ease in 40 knot winds, l love em, cheers NM.

@@TheNuggetMagnet I hear ya, but define " l love em" on a scale 1 - 10. for those that detest flies, a solution is available...

@@fishpest2039 They are only tiny bush flies, they live in the trees and agreed they are annoying but not germ carrying, they love the camera and are always guaranteed, wouldn't be the same without them, but l prefer nuggets so 2 - 10, cheers mate, NM.

Your an absolute classic Aussie brother 😁 choc bits in your coffee 😋 us bushy's loves that kind of nutrients my favourite is cicadas on the fire doesn't take much to cook a feed when is plenty of bush food around and a bit of

Thanks wes, glad you enjoy mate, cheers NM.

Hi, that was a great morning, the detector is a Minelab GPX 4500, its old but still keen, l usually hunt out pending leases around Leonora or ask for permission to detect as long as l tell them what and where l find gold, a GPS is vital in most of these areas for safety, but great fun, exercise and experience, stay safe out there, cheers NM.

Hi Jackie, this year was bad for flies, it stayed warm most of the season with just 1 small break, good for getting out of bed but they are waiting, cheers NM.

yes mate, its just an old GPX4500, the coil is newish, its a 17x13" Evo, Nuggetfinder , cheers NM.

@@TheNuggetMagnet many thanks. Too heavy for me I'm afraid but would be good for a mate of mine. Regards, Chris

@@11111972cjb l use a hipstick which really helps but you could look at the Minelab SDC 2300 for weight, great machine.

Not many at all mate, they might hear me coming

Gidday Reg, if there is no quartz Alibrite will clean them up, it does affect quartz and the magnet being rare earth attaches itself and rarely moves, cheers mate, glad you enjoy.

@@TheNuggetMagnet Thank you I did look there but saw many others but I like yours a lot. Thank you I will check again.

@@laurieboyle3338 I bought mine at fishing world, try the second link l sent, cheers.

@@TheNuggetMagnet Thank you I will. I have learned a lot from watching nearly all of your videos Thank you so much.

Thanks mate, its 17x13" l replaced the old 17x11" to punch down a bit deeper, its super sensitive to the smaller targets and leaves me wondering how much l have left out there, great you enjoy, cheers NM.

Usually on exploration leases with a 40e, having some knowledge of the area narrows it down and l tend to pick up where l left off the yr before, cheers mate.

SF2020 S in wa you need an 40e form from the mine’s department before you can go detect on a live expiration leases to make it legal you can fill one out on line

I use a Minelab Detector, "Minelab GPX 4500" newer models have been released since, cheers mate.

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed, l will give it a go, l set up this way after mucking around on a faint target to bring out the loudest signal, extra depth is word of mouth so cheers for the heads up especially now with the new coil, cheers Russell

Exactly the same settings except the volume is higher to accommodate the wind, l find it way more sensitive and cant wait to take it for another walk, great coil, cheers NM.

No mate, l have to drive over which is starting to get a bit boring, its a long drive, cheers NM.

Check out the comps in "gold gem n treasure" magazine and you could win one, or start with second hand, nothings out of reach, glad you enjoyed mate, cheers NM.

Great question, l am always on the lookout for structure, a small hump in the distance, certain types of rock and hilly country but at the end of the day its walking the beat into areas only accessible by foot, then you are on the lookout for Ironstone outcropping, Pisolite and Greenstone, cheers NM.

lts amazing the different shapes they can come in, mother nature is a true sculpture, glad you enjoyed Joan, cheers NM.

Probably trying to dodge the flies, they really ramp it up right before the rain, cheers to Texas NM.

Sure mate, google "DMP" and search for Miners Right, its all you need, cheers NM.
