Nice Gold Chris I'm up in the stringer district very good gold out there but a lot of trash . It's nice when you can find an old good working area that time forgot .
I live in Japan and I'm going to try my luck here. So far the few pans I've done are negative on yellow. Next I'll be crushing some rocks to see if there is at least a small amount locked up inside. Just ordered your book on Amazon.
@@ChrisRalph - No doubt there are many significant epithermal deposits yet to be explored in Japan. Judging by some papers I've read, that country is gold rich and surprisingly under-exploited.
Just bought your book, “Fists Full of Gold”. My girlfriend is big into prospecting, and she now ignores me in favor of reading your book. Thanks a lot, from Carson City, Nv. 😉
Coming to Las Vegas in early September. I would love to bring my Garrett atx and prospect for a couple of days. Thanks for another great video as always
Hi Chris, thanks for the book and all the videos that you do I am going to subscribe to that magazine you write for. I just took some of my gold and bought a ARB element 12 V refrigerator to mount on my truck which I am currently equipping to do long expeditions out into the wilds of California. I have a cheap metal detector from big five but I am looking to purchase a better one and I am still looking at Jeff Williams suggestions and I will also check out the mine lab model. I have still not made a decision and it almost seems like I need more than onetwo or three. But the main thing is getting out there and having fun out in nature. Thanks again, You are an inspiration
Each tool has a specific job. What kind of gold? Relics? Location? Wet, dry, underwater? I own three detectors. The SDC 2300 is my favorite. Mid summer in the Creeks.
Get one good detector and learn on it before you buy more. One of the favorite places of So Cal. prospectors is the area out near Randsberg. If you do go out that way, be sure to stop in at the prospecting shop in Red Mountain across from the old site of the Owl Garage. Say hello to the owner, my friend Dan, at the shop as he can point out local places to explore for gold in that area.
No worries - I get a fair number of questions for people that do not have English as their primary language. I did not know if you fell in that category, but you clearly do not.
My best friend and I 😊both love your videos and both of us bought your book😁🤔 he’s in Nevada 🤔 I am in Oregon we received our books on the same day 😜 🤔 I don’t read or spell well at all ☹️in fact it hurts my eyes 🥺🤔my friend will help read some of the interesting sections of your book to me🤔 we’ve only had the book for days now 👍😃🤔 it’s really inspiring us to prospect and locate different minerals on our property 😁🙏thank you so much🤔 take it from me 👌🤔FISTS FULL OF GOLD 😃 how are you can find gold in the mountains and deserts 🤔 it’s easy to understand full of so much information 😊 it will save you time and money. Whoever reads this ☺️🤔 if you are interested in prospecting at all😊 this is a wonderful book. 😊🙏🤟
Chris Ralph, Professional Prospector . Ya that sounds good. Let me know a time and place. I’ll need a little lead time, you know how busy I can get at the drop of a hat, but ya that sounds good.
That detector works very well ! Nice gold ! The terrain appears unimpressive. Who would have thought to find gold there ? Must be an up lifted ancient tertiary deposit ? Thanks for the adventure !
You are not fully correct in your geology, but close enough that I would only discuss it further with you in person (not on the internet!). Its great to finally be getting out into the field.
After finishing with a target I always re-check the spot with my detector to see if there were more than one target. Also, if you have a second target you nearly always get an odd response from the detector.
Chris Ralph please can you tell me somewhere I can Prospect in Rye patch or is everything claimed up is there a public area where a guy could come cuz I would hate to come all the way from Idaho just to find out there's nowhere for me to dig I'm a GPA member but I don't think they have one on the Rye patch
I bought your book. I'm excited to be thought some of your insight. I have a massively underrated UA-cam channel and your book should be a nice addition
Thanks Chris. A good video. I'm thinking of getting the Minelab GPX 5000 detector hopefully it will pay for itself. Make sure you have salt and mineral tablets with your water when you're in the desert. Cheers.
The gpx 5000 is a very good machine, but, you are detecting after the gpz 7000. It is done! Not a spec of trash left behind. You have to focus on areas that a gpz has never been BEFORE you.
@@DigDougDig Thanks for your comment. Yes truth stated. I think you're right and I think it shouldn't be a problem where I live. There are many locations still untouched. All the best. Cheers
mORE Mining Products INC - I detected this spot with a GPZ prior to this trip, and found gold with the SDC 2300. In highly uneven terrain it is tough to get the big GPZ coil into tight places. No detector is perfect for all situations.
Recently moved to Nevada due to my husbands work. We are interested in going to rye patch and was wondering if it’s still worth going to metal detect? Never done it before and we would like to give it a try.
There is still gold at Rye Patch, but its been pounded and pounded by other detector operators for more than 20 years. Its not easy, but then you have to be pretty lucky to stumble on a place where finding gold is easy. I recommend joining a local prospecting club, and I also recommend exploring some of the other nearby placer areas in the same region as Rye Patch. Take a look at my video on where to find gold in Nevada: ua-cam.com/video/N4SAsXKPDC0/v-deo.html
I have two hands, why shouldn't I use 2 detectors at the same time? I could have a small coil in one hand and a large coil on the other, or a vlf and a pi. Cut and splice the sound wires so that the left ear hears only the left detector, right ear only right detector. Does anyone do this, or is it too next level?
You have to actually listen to the detector. It would be like having an in depth conversation with two people at once. Additionally some detectors interfere with each other if they are too close.
wow ! hands down you have the most amazing knowledge , each little "hack" for me is another nugget lol, wont you come to coromandel in nz , i will happily carry all your stuff and work camera for you, great fun finding but you make it more fun learning the geology haha, also u wont find much covid
Hi Chris, new to prospecting and metal detecting, moved up to Wellington next to topaz lake can you point me in the right direction to find some shiny around this area? Been looking but I’m new to this new fun hobby thanks rob
I’m thinking of buying another metal detector 🤔 the one that you’re using in this video looks super sensitive 😎🤔 what would something like that cost $ 😅 and where should I buy it ? 🤔do you have a link on Amazon ? 🙏
I'm currently armchair learning by watching your videos. I have your book (picked it up last night). I was thinking I should get the Minelab Gold Monster 1000 (a VLF machine) to search for gold here in Nevada (from watching some of your other videos) but then in this video, you were using the SDC 2300, which is a PI / MPF machine.

Howdy Chris, nice finds, bought the eq 800 and been out a couple of times. How can I find out where to go in Northern Nevada to legally detect for gold? Is there a book, or website or something to put all this confusing stuff together. I live in Elko and there are tons of mines around here but I have no idea how to get started. Do you know of any local prospecting or detecting clubs?
Finding good places to find gold is work and research. There is no book because locations where it is legal to go changes from week to week as people go out to stake claims over areas that were previously open. Do your research to see if there are any clubs. I dont know of any but I really have no idea what is available.
@@ChrisRalph Hey thanks for replying. I actually was going to modify the question. I asked it before I watched the rest of the video. My mistake lol. Well I'm just getting out in the field playing right now anyways. Just don't wanna end up where it's not authorized. BLM land is good as long as there is no claim as far as what thier website says.

I have a question. I tried to as you privately on messenger. Sorry. I've heard about Rye Patch. I want to go there. Is there places set aside for the public there? Okay two questions. Is there still gold there or gas been picked over too much?
Hi Chris, I have a Gold Bug 2, and I'm considering getting a 2nd detector that might work better with the hot rocks etc Trying to decide between SDC2300, GPX 5000, White's TDI SL etc. Leaning towards SDC2300. Do you have any recommendation?
@chris ralph, professional prospector hey man, hope youve been doing well :) wish i was there, still in costa rica. hope to return soon and do some remote camping and exploration a few months.
Hello Chris, what kind of scale is that at the end of your video? I've been looking to get one that's (hopefully) fairly accurate that won't break the bank. I enjoy your vids, thank you!
I've not found any meteorites. There have been a very few found in the general region there where I was hunting, but very few. They are common in a few places like Gold Basin, AZ, but are generally pretty rare.
Hey I've just recently got into this mining 5 prospecting rockhounding thing quite by accident when I went to visit my daughter and Eastern Oregon right before the covid-19 and got quarantine that one turned out to be a silver mine and old one. I really love your videos let me say and I could use some assistance I've gathered some samples cuz I spent a month camping with nothing else to do some of them are quite heavy and I've done some preliminary testing but I'm in Oregon I'm really having trouble getting an essay done or a laser spectronomy. kind of hoping someone out there may be able to point me in the right direction thank you
Hi Chris. I am a subscriber and enjoy your book and videos a lot and have learned tremendously. I have a question, I have seen that some prospectors, carry large guns and weapons. You don't come across as a gun toading individual, and my question is not politically motivated, I just don't want to spend money and time on getting a gun and a permit. So the question is, " is it neccessary to carry a gun while prospecting and metal Detecting?
I own a 9 mm pistol and carry it sometimes. There are a lot more snakes in AZ than in Nevada where I am. I dont carry in California when I am prospecting there because of legal restrictions.
Hi Chris, I have a question . I have seen a PI detector on eBay for only $170. It is made in Ukraine. It sounds to good to be true and I can't find a review on it. Can you take a look at it, and let me know what you think? Thank you
Well, this is a change. Clear, concise, intelligent prospecting information. Thank you, Chris. I shall check out your book as well.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Always appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience, Chris! You've been a huge help for me getting started in this
Glad you enjoyed it and happy to help!
Nice shiney, hard to beat the SDC for an all round gold machine, good video, thanks again Chris..!
Its a great detector.
That metal detector is incredible. Even though you only got a little bit of gold, at least it is not gathering dust in the closet!
Its a lot of fun to do. I enjoy getting out there to search. I got more searching to do in that general area.
These are the vids I like to watch when you are getting gold good job
I'll try and do more of these.
Nice Gold Chris I'm up in the stringer district very good gold out there but a lot of trash . It's nice when you can find an old good working area that time forgot .
Some really big gold has come out of the stringer part of the Randsburg area. Hope you find some of that big stuff!
Ha ! Keep 'em coming Mr. Ralph
You are an advanced learning tool
Gold to Ya' !
Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Glad to see some desert chris, l hope to travel around the world again in 2 years, Nevada looks great to start with first, great video
Nevada is a great place! Best of luck to you.
I live in Japan and I'm going to try my luck here. So far the few pans I've done are negative on yellow. Next I'll be crushing some rocks to see if there is at least a small amount locked up inside. Just ordered your book on Amazon.

@@ChrisRalph - No doubt there are many significant epithermal deposits yet to be explored in Japan. Judging by some papers I've read, that country is gold rich and surprisingly under-exploited.

Lots of fun and I see you are doing pretty good....
Thanks I love your metal detecting video's
Glad you enjoy them.
Howdy,
Just acquired a metal detector, can't wait to get out and see what's out there.
Great vid definitely will watch the others.
Thanks, glad to know the videos are helpful. I do have a good number on metal detecting for gold.
Can’t wait to try it, my Mother in law lives in Nevada, good reason to visit. 😬
Best of luck to you. Have fun!
Nice little video. I enjoyed the diamond video too!
Excellent. Glad you enjoyed them.
haven't used an MD before thank's for a nice lesson today. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
They can produce a good amount of gold.
I got your book in a little coffee shop/book store in Bishop, CA. Great book!

Nice hunt !!!! Looked a little warm I’ll take two pieces all day any day
Isn't your nickname "2 nugget Jeff"? Today I only got one, but it was larger than those two combined.
Chris Ralph, Professional Prospector LOL !!!! Nice
Do you have a video on what to look for to find nugget/eolian placer patches in the desert? Thank you for all the teaching you have provided!
Not really and the reason there is no video is that it can vary a lot from place to place.
@@ChrisRalph thank you that figures with all of the variety out there.

Mostly in the northern part of the state. I'll do a video on that one of these days.

You have to actually listen to the detector. It would be like having an in depth conversation with two people at once. Additionally some detectors interfere with each other if they are too close.
Really enjoying the content. That said the perpetual sound emanating from your MineLab is not pleasant. Perhaps consider adjusting your gain?

Where can you Metal detect in Nevada
Places where it is legal. Your question is too broad. Join a local club and learn more about your area.
Why didn't you each hand of sand for additional gold
I think we have a language problem. that does not make sense.

iv seen gold in hot rocks
They have gold once in a while. Got to be careful in tossing out any rocks, but I gave this one a close examination.
The detector is extremely loud in the video vs your voice. It makes it very difficult to watch through the whole video.
I'll work on that.
That detector is noisy!
I had it turned way up so the viewer could hear it.
