    Ed Coogan is a legend in the goldmining world...and there is no better metal detectorist, plus he is a war hero!
    I have the pleasure of spending lots of time with Ed and his beautiful wife, Kate. Two of the finest people you will meet. He is 92, now and we were out metal detecting just 2 weeks ago in Mariposa County with more trips planned.
    Thank you for this video.

      I'd give almost anything to join along some nugget hunting trips with Ed. I'm in Valley Springs, Calaveras County. I would even forfeit any gold found by me if that's what it would take. I do fairly well, I consistently find nuggets. But there is so much nuanced detail you only learn by being mentored by one of the greats, or making the same mistakes. And then, hopefully, you build on top of it. If that knowledge isn't passed on, who will iterate on it if you talk it home to the afterlife making the same mistakes Ed for sure made and I have and absolutely wil too again.

    • @goldnuggetsales

      Hi Steve, gold found like this carries a premium as most gold is microscopic dust and only about 2% is found in nuggets or gold and quartz. A piece like this would fetch 1.3 to 1.5 spot price.

    You can still take gold out of the rivers in California. You just can’t dredge them. There are still rivers like the American river and the Yuba that you can take gold out of legally. But you can pan and you can use a very small sluce. None of it can be mechanical, but you can certainly use a sluce and pan for gold in the rivers in California. As well as metal detect.
