- It was a bit on the windy and chilly side in the Arizona desert this day, but it was a great trip none the less. Hunting nuggets in a hot rock-strewn area and lady luck was with me.

The gasp when you found that nugget is what it's really all about. Excellent video @Nugget Shooter Journals
Thanks my friend, I was actually expecting trash by the sound so it surprised me lol
Hey Bill, this was a really great video👍🏼I enjoyed your story about Lou and digging trash also liked the camera angle showing your view of the coil and how you navigate the hot rocks. It also was showing the speed you use while moving the detector.👍🏼
Good work. Its 29 here this morning, it will be a while before I get out for gold again. But the days are slowly getting longer....
29 that’s almost a heat wave !!!!!
Brrrrrrr, but we are seeing 30s in the morning now, but 70s later in the day, perfect
@@NUGGETSHOOTER good detecting weather !!!! Merry Christmas guys !!!!
Nice nugget Bill. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Enjoyed watching and seeing you pull that nugget out of the ground. Thanks for sharing, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Take care.
Thank you Shawn and Merry Christmas to you and yours
Great video and information. Makes me want to fly down to Arizona from Alaska and give it a try and thaw-out at the same time....Keep up the good work.
I enjoyed this video and found it to be very educational as well as motivating as I’m down here camping off Vulture Mine road and there are nothing but hot rocks everywhere! I’ve got a VLF and a PI and I’m just learning my machines close to camp before I venture further out.
Good for You Bill that looks like a lot of fun and a good Day. Merry Christmas !
It was! Merry Christmas
VICTORY!!! Great job at explaining the hot rocks.
Thank you Ed

Merry Christmas to you!! Looked close to a grammer, amazing how many I see out swinging that don't get under the bushes, you earned that one . Good job.
Merry Christmas Randy
I am from a small town Oracle at Learning a lot about hot walks which I just in inquire with him in his place I was never detecting come back to some of my old places and you gave me the background to look for gold better than I have before I want to thank you very much for your shows and I do like how are you sure everything is just fine sincerely David
Great nugget Bill. Really enjoy you videos and stories. Be safe and Merry Christmas to you and family
Thanks, you too Tom!
I love watching your videos. Being an Arizona native myself and now living in South Dakota I decided to try it out. I got the same metal detector last week, the cover you have and the amp. I haven’t found anything yet, other than old bullets and a couple pennies. Hopefully I can find things like this! Be safe!
Good hunting Dave!
I haven't heard you that excited before! Great find!! Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas
Congratulations!! Patience pays off!
Indeed it does

Nice find! I’ve got a NOX 800 that I hunt the wet sand with. I recently picked up the 6” coil and a Burro pick from Bunk. I joined the GPAA and am looking forward to doing some nugget hunting.
Bill is on it!
Yahoo the SDC!

Yep they sure last a long time
Nice nugget looks cool. Thanks for the info Bill 👍🇺🇸🍀😀⚒

One reason I never stop looking is that every one is unique in shape and size,true marvel of nature's creation.Drawback is ,they do not grow back and don't grow up.Keep at it, regards George
So true George, thanks for stopping in
Fruit cake yes fruity dude
Hi Bill. Thanks for your videos. After 40yrs chasing opal( underground mainly) in Australia I've just bought a 2300, to go chase Gold!. Went to Tucson gem show for many years, love your deserts! Take care

@@NUGGETSHOOTER Thanks Bill, same to you!
Good job on cleaning up on that nug, that’s a real neat piece of gold for sure!
It sure is Jason and I was happy with it
Awesome nugget there Bill, when I seen where that coil was under the bushes I was pretty sure it was about to get real! Merry Christmas to you and Tammy !
Steve
Thanks Steve and Merry Christmas
Woot nice one! Claimable wow!
If I had the money that’s the detector I’d be getting !!!! Nice Gold
Thank you Jeff
@@NUGGETSHOOTER Just subscribed. I've been watching Jeff's videos and he'd love an SDC
Great video and really nice setup! We just purchased a detector and it’s extremely addicting, Take care and Merry Christmas.
Thanks, you too! Good Hunting...
Nice nugget Bill. Looks a bit like a locust tree leaf in autumn. Always good to see a pro doing what he loves to do.
Thank you Mark

Thanks Joe 👍
Yes Sir Re Bill not Bob haha
Nice Bush Nugget NS... Love That Beer Story Hope that was The Best Coldest Beer Ever LOL 👍🏻🤠🇺🇸
It was until I saw the nugget lol
LOL ! 😂
Well done very nice to see you get a reward of gold
Thank you kindly
Spify for sure Bill LOL Thanks for the video !!
Any time!
Sweet Nugget !!
Wow, great looking nugget.
Thank you! Cheers!
That was a nice size gold and u will b finding bigger ones so good luck on the next hunt
Fingers crossed!
Nice nugget Billy… Congrats!!! I wish I could scrape alot of the hot rocks out of the way in my area. Most are just to big. But I will try the other machine and this should help. A couple things.. 1) I received my cover and scoop in the mail the other day. I guess the post office finally found it, or someone returned it… So now I am out only one other package they lost… 2) It is never a problem when you scrap your scoop across the coil. Anyone who ever complained of this is a moron! If you never mentioned it, we would have never known. 3) The wind too is never a problem… Again you cannot tell. One time when you were doing some coin/relic hunting maybe a year ago there was some wind noise but that was an extremely strong wind day. 4) It is always great to see the better shot angles when you move your camera around. Never is dizziness a problem. Again, if you didn't mention it, would have never had the thought…. … Maybe more morons out there… Hahahah… Keep the videos coming when you can. They sure are great and enjoyable… One of these days I'll get out there on a hunt with you. I will let you know how Colombia turns out. If I don"t get robbed and loose my all equipment first… It should be ok…. And Merry Christmas to you and Tammy too...
Great news on the cover etc. I hate when the shipping company screws up, Thanks for the kind words my friend and good hunting
Both the spot and the machine are tried, tested and true eh. I do miss the "Woople Pop" the monster makes. Kind of fun eh, LOL. That first one is really something to get excited about for sure. Damn the lead/iron mine eh, LOL. You got your gas paid for and some extra to boot. Well done and the seasons best to you and yours my friend. Take care eh.
Nice find
Nice nugget there! About the BBs- all we need to do is convince the bird hunters that gold bbs work the best.
You got that right! What a plan, I am on it
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! just subscribed
Thanks for subbing!
Nice piece of gold!
Yes it was!
Merry Christmas shooter it's been windy here in the Missouri ozarks to have a nice. Chistmas
Merry Christmas
Beauty!!!
Junk, junk, junk, hot rock, NUGGET! Fantastic Bill
Thanks Bill and Merry Christmas
When you find a flake (or preferably several in a small area) would that be a candidate area for some drywashing?
...and talk about the mods to your detector (specifically that piece of PVC to make it sit level).
yes that would be a good spot to sample with a drywasher, I will show some options on stands soon
Merry Christmas to you after that fine
Merry Christmas
go my first 1/4 oz nugget today with the garrett atx thank you for your recommendation
Very Nice!
Great video so entertaining
Glad you enjoyed
Nice nugget Bill!
Thanks Glen
At least I know that I am not the only one that gets nailed on my hunts. Lol. Nice gold Bill. Woot Woot!!!
Yeah Rocco I get nailed a lot as well lol
That’s gotta be .38 g or better on that nugget very nice one congrats and I couldn’t hear any wind at all so the mic cover works great so did Lou keep the nugget or did he give it to you later? Great Hunt thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks 👍 and he kept it lol
Now yep i agree with that cheaking any thing that sound hard hits hard on sound very well can be gold yep
Spiffy aye ??? 😂
I thought i was the only one who says aye ...... aye ? 😃
Nice nug👍🏻
Naw, I got me a bit of Yooper in me lol
Here in California I’ve had good luck detecting in the burn area’s after all the undergrowth is gone and again after the winter rains has moved the soil. Feel a little guilty that I’m taking advantage of a disaster, but after I find a nugget the guilt goes away. Have you detected burn area’s in Az and have you had any luck?
A question if I could. My brothers property up in the Sierra foothills has an old gold mine on it. It’s the old Calaveras river that was volcanically diverted and now is uphill from the “new” river. It is dug into the side of the hill and was an operating gold mine way back in the day and includes an arrastra along with rusted out mining equiptment. Im going back and forth between the Equinox 800 and the Gold Monster for seeing if i can find anything. Don’t really plan on hunting coins in some park but perhaps checking the property for who knows what besides the mine. Any thoughts? Thank you.
The Equinox is best for doing both types of hunting and the Monster is best for hunting gold only
@@NUGGETSHOOTER ok thank you for your response.
Between this one and the GM 1000, for someone new that wants simple and easy to use what are the major differences? I for sure like the way this packs up as I travel overseas quite a bit and would love to use in the Balkans..
One is a VLF (gold monster) and the other a Pulse induction detector. Price differs greatly as well. The two detectors work very differently and send an email for more info
Hi Bill was the pick a custom made?? NICE NUGGET YOU NEED A DANCE BILL !!!
Yes it was, a friend of mine makes them by cutting and re forming a shovel
Dont they have a detector that ignores hot rocks yet ?! That was a nice nugget , seems like it should have been louder...
I think it must have been on its side or straight up and down, I thought the same...
What part arizona were you working an have you detected near casa grande?
Congrats on nugget find & happy holidays. How do you determine if area in AZ might have gold? I recently bought some vacant land near Holbrook, AZ to use for camping / night photography / etc. I visited it briefly in November and found petrified wood on one of the parcels. I know that there are petrified wood, dinosaur bones, Native American artifacts in the area for me to look for and it would be nice to add gold to that list.
There are many books and articles online you can look up to see where gold have been found in Arizona, sadly Holbrook is not in the gold belt here due to its geology.
Congrats on that nice nugget Bill.
If everything goes as planned we will be moving to San Tan Valley in a month - possibly two. Were you originally from Chicago area or you just got the T shirt (seen in another video) ?
Thank you
what and where did you get your amp for speakers?
Doc makes them and I can get them for you if you want one. I will add them at my site
great nugget find! do you typically find them close to a bush like that?
Yes we do, many folks are worried about critters and don't check under the trees and shrubs.
@@NUGGETSHOOTER Thanks. You did a great job of pointing that out in the video too.
Hello broadher i like thank for sharing
Thanks for coming along
Friend William, it is always a pleasure watching your videos, especially when you and/or Tammy recover gold. Keep up the good work! BTW, was the "Lou" who nabbed that quarter ouncer you ignored Lou Garlinsky? HH Jim McCulloch
Thank you Jim and no it was Lou Roggio
Why does my GM1000 trigger deep (8"-12"+) iron targets as non-ferrous?
There can be a wide range of reasons including soil conditions and a hot rock near the target, I NEVER trust the VDI and I dig ALL target and have found many nuggets that shower to be iron as well. Discrimination simply does not work on natural targets like it does on coin/relic detectors.
Hey, Bill! I'm just starting to watch this video but had a question... is it true that the SDC can see right though the iron stone?
It will still hear Magnetite, but indeed it does ignore many hot rocks that a VLF hears.... Basalt and some other "Hot Rocks" are still hot as well.
@@NUGGETSHOOTER How would it compare to say a GPX4000, as far as hot rocks and iron stones go? Would there be any real benefit if I were to replace my GPX4000 with a SDC? Probably should of saved all these questions for one of your live stream, sorry about that.
@@metaldetectingforarizonago7685 they are two different technologies so work differently the 2300 is still a PI but is using MPF multi period fast technology so hears small gold very deep and it will outdo standard PI detectors in this respect. I still use my 3500 as well
🙂
More sdc video please
Where did you find your scoop with the riffles in it?
I sell them here nuggetshooter.com/store.html#!/Gold-Spot-Scoop/p/210212042/category=0
@@NUGGETSHOOTER Wonderful! I will go there now and order 2 of them. I'll also take a look around and see what else ya got.
Stay safe!
J@D
Can't wait to finally get a metal detector.
Have them in stock and thanks for watching
Looks like a leaf or a feather
Abrazos santa Claus 🙏🎅🎅
What's the best gold detector for around $1000.00 bucks..???
For gold nuggets the Gold Monster 1000 from Minelab hands down, and have them in stock
now wait a minute Bill, more sensitivity = more depth? I was under the impression that that wasn’t the case with metal detectors. If that is true I guess i better get back out to my old patches
The higher you can run the sensitivity (gain) and still have a stable detector is where you will get the best depth. Each place is different and I adjust my sensitivity right to the edge of the detector becoming unstable. Unstable can mean missed targets...
@@NUGGETSHOOTER
Thank you for clarifying Bill, I’ve heard you and kevin say that a million times before, just didn’t want others to get the wrong idea. Good job on that odd shaped nuggie!
It hurts when remembering a friend who passed away
Yes it does...
“Words of wisdom.” Thank you. Maybe doing more “Words of wisdom” or just “common sense” would be awesome. Merry Christmas
Great suggestion!
Love your explanation on hot rocks and the like.I do pick up alot from your videos keep going soon I'll know it all (NOT)
Thanks Dave
🌞💖💰💰
I thought rubbing or scratching the top of the detector was part of the experience. I am sure it would be irritating if there was no possibility of gold. Sound like prospecting music to me, feel the rhythm guys. One long shi two short shi shi
Thanks Jerrett
Hi Bill Question: Will just your hand give the SDC 2300 a signal?
No
Nugget is shaped like a jalepeno pepper.
Perfect, I love Jalapenos
Its a gody big ole thing for a machine to fold up compact seems they whould have made it small not so gody big but hey if it works ok but for me gold monster super light finds nuggs but hey it works right
Nlce.
