Be sure to watch until the end for bonus footage! 🤪
Very nice collection there ! Excellent clip at the end too 👍🍺
Thanks a million for stopping by! You are truly one of the top inspirations that helped me get as far as I have on my gold dreams. I hope to run into ya one day and at least shake your hand!
Loved your video. My husband and I hunted that same area for 8 seasons, averaged 3 to 4 ounces per season. Ended up with a little over 2 troy pounds of gold. Our largest nugget was 1-1/4 oz and we know there is a lot more gold out there. So we wish you the very best in your adventure!! Mike and Connie they'll know us in camp.
That’s awesome!! This is my rookie year but I know there is more out there! Thanks for tuning in! More to come! Good luck out there!
Hey wayward they call me back country crew. Bcc for short. Your a good man. You are i know i am weve all had bad times and hurt. I appreciate this video. I live in arizona i got the chance of maybe a hour to metal detect today before it got dark one target besides all the hot rocks one of the oldest pieces of lead ive found lol i havent found the nugget yet ive only been doing it for a couple months but im determined i live in the brushy area which is very limited but im almost finished siding a house i framed and i think my truck and i are going to drop off the mountain into warmer and more open ground. Once again i appreciate your effort and the thought of the inspiration that was a video i wont soon forget. You showed me what i thought was out there still is. Ive done pkenty of placer with my biggest from two to four grams and alot of the fine. You take care time i go to work sir
Thanks for the kind words. I’m glad you got some inspiration from my video. It’s still out there somewhere. Best luck and thanks for tuning in!
IT is VERY powerful finding Gold! My biggest find near Coloma was 4.7 gram... My first piece ever found was just outside Quartzite... Great times!
It sure is. That ole Quartzsite will always have a bit of my heart. Best luck out there and thanks for tuning in!
Just amazing fam. Nice au indeed. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out!!!
💪💪 gold luck to ya out there!
Fantastic budy. I live in Black Hills South Dakota . Panning an metal detection ever since i was a teenager. Im 71 now and still Prostecting. Look me up when you get back up this way.
Howdy! I’ll look you up for sure! Thanks for tuning in! Best luck up that way! 💪
Great job brother you put your heart and soul in to it. Love every minute of teared me up
Thanks for stopping by! Haha sorry about the teary sections. I’m not good at faking feelings or even hiding them and in turn, words often come out with a bit of my soul stuck to them. I often hesitate to post content because of this but I’m getting more comfy with it. It’s raw and it’s real. It’s me. I put so much effort, energy and passion into everything leading up to any given thing that I find in this world and when that moment happens, it’s the truest feeling of happiness in this life for me. There isn’t even a monetary value in those moments. My soul just feels free, complete, accomplished and most of all, alive. Silly moments of happiness so grand that when you think about it, controlling human emotion should suddenly feel more impossible than seeing what I’m seeing in my hand at that moment in time. Just wait till I really catch one on film in the raw! You’ll see a man just go all kinds of silly! Hahah! I had to trim that clip at the end because of language and a few minutes of me walking circles. I couldn’t put y’all through it all. 😂🤪
Good luck to ya out there! 💪⚒️
That's awesome man proud of you good job
Thanks! Check out my latest video to see a little bit of what kinda gold I’m into this season. Thanks for tuning in! 💪
Man congratulations on your hard work. That is freaking awesome
Thank ya, and thanks for tuning in! 💪
Good set up you have there fellow Arizonian.👍👍 My son is in Rapid City.🤔🤔 Nothing like a well used detector.🤔🤔😂😂 Nice looking gold in the pan. A lot of nuggets with good size. 😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
Thanks! You should see the pile now! I landed a 2.52 Troy ouncer last November! 🤯 Thanks for tuning in! 💪 Best luck!
Very cool video mate! Thanks for sharing your story. I’m living in a similar situation in Western Australia and loving it.
I’ve had the same experience about a month ago when I had my best day prospecting with my Minelab detector.
Enjoy your time and good luck with your endeavours. Peace out ✌️
Awesome! You’re in the motherland! Gold luck to ya over there! Thanks for tuning in!
Love the content and dedication, this is for the upload you got my sub!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy! Best luck out there 💪
@@waywardwoodward oops I thought I put "thanks for the upload" not this is for the upload 😂 I'm such a goober I, need to proof read lol
@troyrager1352 no worries!
Live the life reap the rewards. I’m not just talking to the gold you find. Well done brother great video!
Thanks for tuning in! 💪
Awesome gold! 1 year..quite the journey! You’re spot on about gold fever, I’ve been burned up with it for a decade now. I actually teared up with you on those big nuggets-they represent so much more than the gold itself! We watch the same channels, and I was inspired by those folks too! Subscribed and following! I’d say you’re nailing the content! Maybe I’ll see you ‘out there’ one day, I’ll certainly be watching for your videos..
You are certainly right about them nuggets being more than just gold. They were the confirmation of my dreams and the feeling stuck in my soul. I was hesitant to post with the cryin, but in the end I said to myself “that’s what it does to ya man, so show em”. I think anything over a gram should really get a persons heart and soul to the melting point, it’s truly something to enjoy. Thanks for tuning in and I’m glad you enjoy the content! More to come!
Too cool and it's a wonderful thing to have something to be passionate about. Continue your travels and growth. Especially the most, keep sharing. No matter how big or small videos may be, the wealth of knowledge that can be passed on to help others , extremely valuable. That's what is missing from today's generations. The sustainable things are not being passed along because people don't sit and talk and share anymore. Keep up the fine work. Please!!!
Thank you for the kind words, and thanks for tuning in! I’ll keep ‘em comin!
A lot digging to get that result 😮😊thanks for the look see
You bet! Dig it if it beeps! Stay tuned, more to come in the next few days!
TREMENDOUS" AWESOME WORK! New sub from Idaho! KEEP IT ROCKIN' jd
Thanks for tuning in and thanks for the sub!
Love the passion mate …well done ..my wife and I prospect and live in outback Western Australia..any bit of gold we find is appreciated and loved ….
Thanks for tuning in and thanks for the kind words! You’re in the motherland! I really hope to make it over there one day.
Thats fantastic stuff mate!
Thanks! And thanks for tuning in!
Amazing how well you have done!
It sure is! I’m just gettin started! 🙃 Thanks for tuning in!
I subscribed! Good luck to you with the GPX 6000!🍀
Thanks a ton! I was really hoping to meet you folks today but my ole Jeep had other ideas for me. 🤦🏻♂️ I wanted to get some autographs! 🙃 Another day! It’ll work out in the end though. Thank you folks for all you do for everyone! Y’all made my hectic transaction a smooth breeze!
Anyone else reading this comment… you get the hot details fresh off the press! Fancy new GPX 6000 coming my way! 🙊 Stay tuned!
@@waywardwoodward Thanks so much! Again good luck to you in your gold hunting adventures!🌵💪🍀
Congrats in your discoveries and success on finding that AU. Not for nothing, you deserve it. Enjoy it.
Go all the way. Go all the way. It's your life, live it.
Go all the way. 🖖
🇺🇸🙏❤♻️🌎☮💯
💪💪 Thanks for watching!
Great video.
I prospected in California gold country with my best friend and partner for years. We used a couple of 4" dredges w/ hookah gear. Then my friend got stomach cancer and passed on, so I lost my passion for prospecting. Didn't seem the same anymore.
Fast forward a decade and I found myself living in a RV in Arizona and have thought about picking up a detector, the Minelab 1000 to be exact.
The problem is, desert detecting is a completely different animal than underwater dredging and it's something I know very little about. Sure, I watched the usual videos on the subject and even reached out to a couple people with questions but got no reply. My biggest concern was dropping a grand on a detector and never seeing a return. Seems most of everything I watched was people finding what I call specs. It would take thirty or forty of them to even make a pennyweight let alone an ounce. It just seemed out of reach.
Your video is an inspiration and I think I would buy the detector if someone spent a day or two showing me the ropes and what to listen for.
Finding gold without water. imagine that! If you're near Q maybe we could meet up for a day. Half the year I'm between Yuma and Havasu.
I don't care about your secrets, I'm just reaching out for experience.
Howdy! Thanks for tuning in! I will say, it’s tough! You will find more trash than gold and that’s just a fact of metal detecting in general that most people don’t like to accept or don’t realize before hand. It’s no different than a relic hunter going out and wishing for Morgan’s and walking liberty’s every target. It just don’t happen like that unless you’re really lucky, or you have done your research to put you on that kinda spot, and even then I’d be hard pressed to see more glory than trash, but it does happen. I’ve had some stellar days I never could have imagined. Ole Q is covered in tin foil from camping folks over the years and it can be pretty tough some days. I called my monster the “tin foil finder 1000” down that way. But, the gold is still out there too. Some days I think I make it sound and look too easy though. As for the Monster, now is a good time of the year to find a used one and that’ll save ya a buncha money if you go that route. I see em for around $500 used lately. Never know, some of that old Cali ground in your head might yield some gold with a Monster. It took a whole year of solid work and extreme persistence for me to get where I have with mine. I spent more time researching and reading geology than anything, and I’d say that’s more or less what’s gotten me on the gold other than just hours and hours of being out there stomping and swinging the ground. Some days I even had to dig 4’ down and detect as I dug, just to find anything. But, with persistence comes more chance for luck. My biggest nuggets I had to dig for, but I found em with the monster. Diggin and detecting as I go. Down in Q area there is still lots of gold to find. I wanted to get back down there for some swinging this season because I just sold some gold and got the GPX 6000 but my Jeep may be too tired for the trip. I’m not sure if you have been over to Miners Depot in Q but that’s the place to go for gold stuff around town. They have club claims (I found good gold on em) for $20 and you might meet some folks who could show you the ropes on the monster. There’s usually someone kicking around on the Middle Camp claims with one and most folks are friendly. However, I will not encourage anyone to buy a setup, as I’ve done that and the people now blame me for their lack of gold, but the dang thing ain’t hardly left their rv or they haven’t swung anything other than the ground ten feet from where they parked for ten minutes and called it a full day. It takes serious effort, just as dredging, panning, sluicing or any other way of finding gold and the obvious stuff is just about worked out of most places. Sure is a lot easier on the back, but gold ain’t never easy! It’s out there though and I’m not the only one finding it. As I speak, prolly twenty nuggys have been pulled outa the ground already by a detectorist somewhere. Probably in Australia haha! The mother land! Most of all, it’s a rather cheap adventure and the time out there on the land is worth it all in my mind. I’m a fella who could only dream of having the money for dredges and stuff like that. Thousands and thousands of dollars into that kinda stuff real fast, plus permits and everything else. This was the cheapest and easiest way for me to try my hand and live a dream that itched my soul. Anywho, gold luck to ya in any direction you may take!
@@waywardwoodward As soon as I saw your nugget case, I knew the work you've put in. Moving boulders is work no matter if it's in a river or on land. Although I think the water is easier and helps. Rock nets, cables, wenches and a six-foot prybar were used daily. Then there's the time, lots and lots of time.
Little story for you. One day I was working a ledge about 20 feet deep. I had checked the dredge for color the day before and it was good. After being down there for about four hours my partner came down to relieve me and this is what he found.
I began to focus on a pocket and knew if I could get to the back of it, I would find bedrock gold. The ledge was a gravel bar that had been cemented together over time, with boulders the size of Mack truck wheels. I managed to drill through it with the nozzle and made a tunnel. When my buddy came down, I was in the tunnel past my butt and all he could see was my legs sticking out with the wall of boulders above me. He grabbed my legs and pulled me out. I wasn't stuck, I was lost. Even if a boulder had shifted and only pinned my arm, the only thing he could do was fill the dredge with fuel so my air didn't run out and go get help. In reality I wouldn't have made it out. Aw yes, the fever. I've had it.
Be careful in the holes and caves out there, it's not worth your life.
I believe I will go to the Quartzsite gold show coming up. Maybe Minelab has some offers. About the only thing I can fit in my motorhome is a detector and a rock hammer. I already have the hammer🙄
@@rvfreedomtrail4290 yep! It’s only awesome if ya live to show the gold! I personally don’t tunnel but I know lots of folks who do. Quartzsite up in Middle Camp it’s about the only way to get to the good stuff. Most of my time is spent surface swinging but when I get an area that gives a good sign of gold or I think there is more down deeper, I’m not scared to dig down a few feet and see what’s at the bottom. My last dig was 10’x75’ and I was down about 4-5 feet. The end clip on this video was a few days after I started the hole and I had just pulled the boulder ahead a few feet with my Jeep and a chain. Just dig and toss everything behind ya as you go, detecting along the way. Bucket off the overburden and just toss it behind. My back isn’t a fan of that stuff but it got me a bucket list nuggy so I can’t complain much! Now I’m just looking for the next spot that tells me to dig a big ole hole! Good luck at the gold show!
Dam buddy those are great finds I use an old tesoro silver Sabre and a tesoro myan metal detector I'm saving up for a minelab hopefully this year I will be able to get it!!!
Them Tesoro are good machines but not much compares to the Minelab these days! I love my Monster and upgraded to the GPX 6000 which is just insane! I highly recommend either! The gold will be waiting for ya! What state do you prospect?
@Wayward Woodward I just tinker around with them I'm in pierre south dakota we have some old homestead land that my great grandfather homestead in midland south dakota my parents live in flagstaff az I have never found any gold with my detector there but have pulled some out of the oak creek near Sedona az just panning I have also searched in Nevada and have found some silver ore out near good springs Nevada I love your agate videos I have not found any faiburns yet but have found some great teepee canyon agates!!!
@@aaronwickberg2663 awesome! I still need to do some detecting old homesteads and such. I wanna find some old coins! My detected gold came from Quartzsite Az and Havasu area but this season I’m gonna crack the code on the black hills gold. Good luck out there!
Your mission of inspiring is working . Your humble approach is mesmerizing.
Thanks a bunch!!
I thought for a reason you drove a truck.. I believe I am camped in some of the areas you enjoy.. would you be interested in talking? A nice guy I met here was chatting and your name came up... said you had a jeep! I may have blown my chance to meet u in the field, as I saw a jeep...I didnt want to invade someones spot.I have some things I wanted to talk to u about...and not where your best lucky spots are!.. I got the rav.. please say hello if you choose, I be great full. Happy Hunting..best of luck wayward.
@@creeksidechris3384 ahh ok! I’ll stop by at some point on my way through and say hello.
@@waywardwoodward my camp is south of the triangle...some locals said I should go down the road to get away from the traffic... I'm used to living on hwy 99 in oregon..it's got real traffic ..sirens all day.. I liked that spot ...seeing guys going out to work for the day..gets a guy excited... to try..
@@creeksidechris3384 heck yeah! It’s out there! There’s color just about anywhere in the area.
You seem like a good dude man you have a soft heart I hope you know God I would think you would with your good heart I am happy for you brother you are the real deal even though you got about 6500 worth of gold that's not what it's about it's just being out there and I know what you mean about people chuckling talking trash I find it in crevices but I have a nice old eureka gold detector and you have inspired me to get out there it's all knew to me but I have it in me because I live to be out there but think you sir very much for being the real deal
@@user-qv1qk7qi5t you bet! This is a bit older video from a few seasons ago, and I’ve done well since. I don’t show it all on here. Last season I landed a 2.52 Troy ouncer as my season best. That nugget video is on here in my gold prospecting playlist. More than anything, the time out there on the land is why I do it. Just living out a dream in my soul. Can’t wait to head south for winter and get this season going!
Amazing video!! Still need to meet up when u come back up north
"I live in a RV I traded for rocks" 😂🤣😂🤣 litterally laughed out loud on that one
I’m gonna try and get up that way in 2023 but I can’t say for sure. I wanna though! Thanks for watchin man!
Awesome video!
Keep following your dreams!
Do you recommend taping the coil edge to prevent dirt / black sand getting within? If so, what kind of tape?
Absolutely. Just the other day I showed someone how much black sand and such was trapped between their coil and the coil cover without it being taped. Electrical tape is the go to choice for most.
👍👍👍
Thanks for tuning in!
Alat yang bagus kawan,salam satu hobi dari Indonesia 🙏🙏
💪⚒️
Keep it to yourself I stayed in Arizona for a while there are some bad ones that will stalk you an take it. Be careful nice gold.
You bet! Gotta watch your back at all times. It’s been tough for me to post much gold content for that reason. It make people do some wild stuff. Thanks for tuning in!
Awaome
@@user-qv1qk7qi5t thank you and thanks for tuning in!
Congratulations. You’re doing a great job buddy. I’m not to sure about you hiding it out where anyone can stumble upon it or case you out from a distance with high powered binoculars. Let’s face it, you’re advertising it by putting it on UA-cam. Get yourself a safety deposit box in a bank or build a secret compartment in your trucks frame or something that’s impossible to find. Regards from Mario 🇦🇺
🙃 I ended up parting with most of it and got the Minelab GPX 6000, so its not out there anymore… or was it really ever out there? We may never know haha! I posted a new video yesterday with a quick adventure update, and a bit of new gold I found with the new machine!
Thanks for tuning in!
Great news. Cheers.
Bro, did you find all those Gold Monster 1000 nuggets? I live in the Urals, Russia, I went to the mountain streams but it keeps beeping and beeping. Is there any way to filter out the false signals?
Just about everything in this video was found with the trusty Gold Monster 1000. As for the beeping, it’s tough to tell what is causing it without being there to see it. Generally, I dig anything that beeps. If it’s too noisy, try running the machine in auto mode, that should quiet it down some. Best luck! I hear there is nice gold over there! 💪🕵🏻♂️
@@waywardwoodward Thank you so much, I've already watched a lot of your videos and learned a few things. Yes, a nugget called "Hare's Ears" was found 100 kilometers away from me in 1935 and weighed 3,345 kilograms
@@user-kt9jg7jm3t wouldn’t that be somethin! 🤯
You have a brother out here Woodward. We will meet soon.
Are you the fella that does the metal sculptures?
Awesome Woodward! I'm so glad I found your channel, I just received my Gold Monster yesterday and getting ready for heading your way for the winter! You restored my confidence and a whole lot more. I live in Utah and hopefully I will get a chance to meet up with you. Once again damn good video without all the BS! Good luck buddy your kicking ass!
@@rayon3383 thanks! Stay tuned! I’m getting ready to head south next month! Good luck out there! 💪
Fantastic! Maybe see you in Q. I'm in the desert a lot too! QMDC
