Metal Detecting Hard Rock With Gold Bug 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 бер 2019
- In this video, I try out the Fisher Gold Bug 2 Metal Detector on a rock outcrop to see what it picks ups.
The rock is mainly made up of gneiss and mylonite with igneous intrusions. There are small and large veins of quartz and pegmatites that cut through the rock.
The rocks contain iron minerals like magnetite along with silicates and sulfide minerals.
The detector found many targets which is likely due to the high amounts of iron in some of the rocks.

thank you i learned you more
🤣🤣🤣👍👍 hellow Every One..Little Dun Hurd....Ha ! ..Keep Going Bro.👍👍
That spot looks really juicy!
You need to wrap the cable around the arm. Can't have it swinging loose like that. It should be kind of tight around it or you will get a ot of false signals. Hope it helps you out
Love my Gold Bug 2
Ken in Oregon
for what your doing i would run the machine in disc mode all the time you wil loose a small bit of sensitivity but less hot rock problems
Good to know, thanks for the tip.
Turn the bottom far left switch in the up position. Your material is super hot.
I was out yesterday and I every 2 seconds the damn thing was finding a hot rock
I tried this, it would still sound of but at a lower pitch. Lots of iron minerals in the rocks including magnetite.
If I found that....I'd be a MF to any Forest service officer. Lmao ,They would hear the ringing of my pick throughout the Willamette valley.
Great informative video, thanks!
Loving this. Thanks for the knowledge. I’m getting a gold bug 2 for gold nuggets.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video, I hope you find some good gold with the gold bug.
When you hit those targets use the iron disc to check if its iron or mineralization between precious metals
You probably learned by now that you should turn your iron discrimination on...
As there is iron in the rock...

There is a method I have GB2, and I have a lot of problems with hot rocks, and I don't want to waste time with that?
I think you should detect all the (were water would flow) downhill, the loose soil from your spot. Can use a small plastic garden scoop so you can see if you've got your targets, then detect handfulls from that, by the process of alimination. Either do this till you see the target or until it is a small amount and pan out later. You should get a better idea of what's up thereby what's weathered off. The reverse is used to find mother loads. Thanks for your videos. I see gold !
vai ter que comprar uma bobina toda vez que fizer uma caçada.
Looks like a great spot, i just purchased the gold bug pro so im watching different vids on using detectors. Thanks for video 👍
Hope you find some nice gold with it, good luck.
That's a nice handy tool you've got there. Did you try splitting a sample and view the fresh surface with a jeweler's loop?
Not yet, a jeweler's loop is something I have been meaning to get for awhile. I have collected a few quartz and pegmatite samples that were cleaner then the surrounding oxidized rock.
Also, the stone I found at 9:25 holds a large fractured cluster of almandine garnet surrounded by a matrix of amphibolite. The amphibolite is the dark rock I refer to in the video as mafic because it is made up of hornblende and amphibole minerals. They also hold many garnets but this is the largest one I have found so far. I've seen these rocks at rock shops and minerals shows. I'm hoping a acid will help clean up the oxides so its easier to see the garnets in the stone.
@@GeoForge Garnets are a good sign. It would be really nice if there was a showing of "mariposite green" in the mix. If there's an area close by that was home to a quarry at one time...a place like that would be ideal for learning the in's and out's of prospecting. Those are a favorite of mine, when available.
Geoforge you should wrap your coil wire in tight wraps along the shaft, any slack in the cable to lead to ghost signals and just poor performance, not to mention that the more the cable moves the higher the chances that over time a break or loose connection could develop.
I did that shortly after filming this video. Thank you though.
Let say if I want to detect alluvium gold deposit, how far (in term of subsurface depth) can the thing detect?
I'm not exactly sure. I have not had a chance to use this detector very much and i'm still getting used to it but, I know that its detection depth is going to be impacted by a few things, the size of the target, the type of target, and the ground your detecting in will all be a factor as well as the coil size you use. Bigger targets can be detected a deeper depths while smaller targets may go undetected unless they are closer or at the surface. You can find UA-cam videos out there that have demonstrations of depth tests with this detector.
If you don’t want the hot rock you discriminate
I tried it with discrimination, it still will sound off but just at a lower frequencies at some points. This was my first time using this detector.
Get some dynamite ha ha jk.. I’m thinking about gb2 or mini 1000 what made you choose the gb2 .?
I choose the gb2 because it was what I could afford at the time and I got it on an ebay auction. I heard a lot of good things about the gb2 especially with the 6 in coil. I wish I had the time to learn how to use it better. It picked up a lot of targets as seen in the video. Most of it was probably iron mineralization but a few sounded like they could have gold potential. I have yet to break up the rocks to see what's inside. What is in abundance in these rock are what seems to be monazite sands and molybdenite in near by rocks. Jeff Williams has some good videos on the gb2 you should go check out and I think he might compare it to the mini 1000 or maybe it was a different detector.
I think the way to get ground balance for mineralization density is on ground where there it's known there's no gold. You're trying to tell/teach the machine what a quiet place looks like in comparison to an area that has gold in it. It sounded like beginner's lucky strike on pay-dirt with the first try. There goes another rich guy!
This was my very first time using the machine and I'm still learning how to use it to its full. Its also very sensitive and a lot of the targets were probably iron minerals but yes, I would say I got a little lucky here. I'm not rich yet until I strike it rich. The real gold is in selling prospecting equipment.
*zip zip zip* Music to my ears!
You have a great voice for radio....
Thanks
16:35 100% Gold if you have a screen with numbers on the metal detector than watch if you get more 82 till 86 it's for sure gold
Gold would run between 16 and 28 with that machine with a very low or no iron content. That high number, is iron outright. Sometimes you can get a jump thats wierd between the 2. In the fields, I'll dig those. Near people or town, ill pass and leave it to excite someone else, probably an ear ring or steel nail, paper clip or something.
Are you going to dig anything? I may not be able to finish this video. I'll have to check back later.
I want to do some digging and this spot is definitely on the list. I'm a college student right now in my 4th semester, and I have other things to worry about right now and I've been busy. Even if I did some digging, I don't have any tools to process the materials to see how much gold or if any gold is there. I'm collecting parts and I have bought some parts to build a rock crusher. So I plan on doing some digging but it might be awhile longer before I can. Sorry to disappoint you but I have dug up other things such as crystals, and panned some micro gold in the past. Ill let you know when I dig this spot :)
@@GeoForge I understand what you're saying. Being a Treasure hunter I was going crazy hearing that detector go off and not seeing what the target is.
So, I couldn't take it anymore. I was all worked up waiting for the dig.
@@deanmayer6508 Trust me, I want to dig it just as bad. Definitely in the plans eventually. :) This video was my first time using this detector so I was just getting used to it.
This is not my account cuz my phone broke but I just got to say this is the most talented up-and-coming geologist / gold hunter I have ever encountered in my life
That is a great detector for finding nuggets. I have found a good number with mine.
I'm liking it so far for how little I've been able to use it. Its really good at finding hot rocks, still waiting for the nuggets lol
All you have to do even with basic tools is remove the samples with a hammer , put it into a pillow case or whatever and pulverize it into a powder with the same hammer and pan it out with a pie tin from the local dumpster, especially the weathered 'ore'. You don't need $10,000 is processing equipment to do that. If it's sulfides you can current test it to get an idea or send out a sample for assay.
That works or you can buy or make one of those hammer crushers which is just a open tube with a bottom that you put the samples into and then use another pole as a hammer to crush it. I've also been wanting to build a homemade impact mill which I could do for a couple hundred dollars
Your going about It wrong your settings were off watch this video metal detecting for gold using gold bug 2 -ask jeff the video should help you with settings..
This was my first time using the detector so mistake were bound to happen. Thanks and I have seen Jeff's videos before, I enjoy watching his video's from time to time.
@@GeoForge Good luck...
Blow it to hell with something that goes bang.
Are you just playing? Didn't see you crack open anything. ?? You bypassed all possibilities. Devide the rock..keep splitting till your sure. That detector is made for that ground. Watch more videos on how to fine tune on mineralized rocks.
That said, I liked the video. Any video is informative on detecting.
This was my first time using the detector and I still have to learn how to improve with it. I didn't crack open any of the rocks for a couple different reasons mainly I did not have the proper tools to break most of it out because the rock is hard, and if there is gold, it wont likely be visible which means the rock will have to be crushed down with a crusher. I have been wanting to build a homemade crusher and I made a deal with a company to help me make some of the parts. Its been almost a year now and I have not heard back from them in awhile. They are busy though at the moment but I imagine they will get my parts finished eventually. If I ever get the opportunity, I plan on collecting some samples from this spot, crushing them and showing the results. I am glad you liked the video, thank you.
Baja la sensibilytu sooooooton........
Esta fue la primera vez que usé el detector, pero sí, generalmente lo estoy ejecutando alrededor de 5 o 6 ahora.
Hit me up dawg I'll being a pick and a rock crusher....
Thats an AWESOME ASS SPOT huh? 👍 Hard to come by.
Yah I need to find one this summer...
@@coryondreako8227 Google Earth 😉
Yah I'm scoping some country in Wyoming rn
You trying to give us a lesson in geology or what
Tried my gold bug 2 out in a dry wash..it goes off on almost every rock...I get lots of faint zips then go up to iron disc and they go away but what I don't like is in iron discrimination it gives broken beeps...all the strongest zips turned out to be trash metal..will definitely drive you crazy and kinda discourage you to hunt for a nugget
I really like your adventurous spirit and nature. First and foremost do not ever even if you are offered millions of dollars do not ever Reveal Your Source location. You might want to consider getting a coil cover. Due to the fact of replacing coils are very expensive
slow down your camera movement thank you
You didn't dig one sample. Waste of time.
At the time, this was my first time using this detector, I was mainly interested in seeing what it could pick up. I have also sampled material from this location in other videos. I plan on sampling the rock eventually once I have my rock crusher finished and the rest of the tools I need.
Hearing the signals doesnt mean anything unless you prospect the area you got a response to. You learned nothing. And go slower with the coil.
