- You can find a lot of gold fast with a metal detector. But you need more than just luck. Finding your first nugget with a metal detector is tough - being successful takes knowledge and skill. I did this video to impart to you my decades of experience finding gold. This is part 2 of two of a series, so if you want to learn to find gold with a detector, be sure to catch the other part as well. Part one answers the common questions new guys want to know (see it at: • The Complete Training ... ). This second group of 5 topics in part 2 - these are more of things I think you should know to be successful at finding gold. Finding gold is a skill and what you know - the secrets and tips you learn - make a big difference in the amounts of gold you will find. But the work is worth it when you make a big discovery.
Here are the topics discussed in this video and the links to the full videos I did on them:
1. keep your coil close to the ground and listen for faint targets. Check out this video - • Successful Nugget dete...

Great Video Chris. I have a Gold Bug 2 and deal with hot rocks all the time. Unfortunately, I don't have a meter, but rather listen to the sound. A gold nugget is a quick blip (mostly faint), while a hot rock has a whinnying echo. Some targets are close to both, and that's when I use the Discrimination mode. Trash is usually hot, loud, and long. I notice that surface target are generally trash. If it's down a few inches the nugget odds seem to increase. However, I have found a steel nut down about 2 ft. Thought for sure it was a nugget. LOL !! Thanks for sharing this wealth of information !
Yep - trash is USUALLY nearer to the surface, but not always. I have found some deep trash and it always is a heartbreaker!
Fist Full of Gold is very good and covers most all topics of prospecting. I bought it a couple of years ago and I am still learning from it.
Thanks for the kind words on the book!
Congrats on 80,000 Subs !!!!!!!! Great Job and I like the video too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's ok to talk to the TV just as long as it's not talking back !!!!!! LOL
Thanks so much!! The TV only talks back and answers me once in a while.......

"ONYA CHRIS"A PERFECT ENDING FOR NUGGET HUNTING.. CHEERS MATE🇭🇲
Thanks much!
Another great video Chris! The needed continuation of the "Table of Contents" that the Part 1 offered. I'm certainly looking forward to doing the "homework" that you have provided. Seen some of those videos already, but you can bet that I'll gladly watch them again, while greatly anticipating the ones that I've not seen yet!!!
Glad to hear its helpful.
Cheers Chris, great viewing. Looking forward to heading over to the States next year to see the different types of ground compared to here in Victoria, Australia. Hope to do some detecting with my GPX4500.
Best of luck to you. Certainly good gold in Vic.
I really needed this video. Thank you and greets from Austria!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm very new. I love the river, but the ancient placer is what's exciting to me. I have severe anxiety, and get overwhelmed with hot ground. I have detected large flakes, but them damn old timers got all the sun bakers! I keep trying! Thanks Chris, I'll keep hope
Keep working at it - its a skill that takes time to learn.
Thank you sir! I'm no spring chicken, but I've been around for awhile. I seen the wall come down, that was a long time ago😁
@@au_gmentedreality im getting there too. Everything seems to be going faster. Just enjoy all that you can. Gratitude enriches one more than anything else. Finding gold is just icecream on the cake.
It was meant to be.... I had your book in my "saved for later" cart on Amazon. I would have bought it a few weeks ago, but I spent too much lately and wanted to wait a few weeks. I decided time to buy. This morning my monthly Amazon reward points were applied to my account. I move the book to the cart and checkout, it adds tax and right to the exact penny it matched my reward points available. I'm not one really to believe in coincidences. Thank you for this video, pulling the detector out again with a new set of educated eyes and ears.
I think you will find the book helpful.
Awesome Stuff, Cheers🍻👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cheers Chris 👍👍👍
Cheers, my friend.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks Chris, I'm waiting for the rains to stop here in Placerville and then I'll hit where the fires of last few years have opened up new places to detect...Still using my Tesoro Super Lobo with a snake coil...Course today could be a Ninja day while the roads are dry...always love your shared info.
I waiting for the rains to stop too. Is it ever going to happen????
As always good content thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks again!. I used to use my detector and i used to go to the river to hunt treasure and gold. I like the thought of it more than gettingvti do it it seems. Riding a bike and fishing seem to take my time up now. Hmmmm
Looking forward to the weather changing soon.
@@ChrisRalph yes the rain seems to be like the never ending story lately. Im trying to not let it bug me. We need it. I dont have any major issues as some do. The snow melt will cause some damage too. I pray for those who it will affect. I have little to complain about. Im sure the storm will open up some ground for those who look for gold also! Mabe by summer? Best wishes to you and family. Stay safe.
Thank you, does the middle if the coil mark the spot?
Depends on how you point the target. The full length video explains it in a lot more detail - that's why I recommend you watch it.
I do a lot of back country travel from four-wheel driving towing my modified off-road teardrop trailer setting up a base camp and going into the backwoods for days I run across streams rivers etc. and I always wonder if there’s gold there but I have zero experience I like the idea of a metal detector I just looked up pricing and I see some for over $8000, I live in Northern California and do a lot of traveling to the wilderness areas every month if not even three times a month but what would be the best metal detector for someone with no experience and where would I go to purchase one I’m old fashion and the kind of guy that has to walk into a store look at it and buy it, I don’t think getting something super cheap would be a good idea because my motivation will make me good at doing it, It’s just a matter of what I call saddle time any recommendation would be great I really enjoy your videos it’s getting me motivated to try this but again I have zero experience I could tell you all about mountaineering backpacking but nothing about finding gold. 👍👍👍👍
Please watch my video on choosing a detector for yourself.
Have you done your follow up video and comments on the new version Fisher gold bug 2 you tried out a year ago ?
Are you talking about this one - ua-cam.com/video/dpkKh4iFOF8/v-deo.html - I have not done any more videos since that one.
@@ChrisRalph yes, I thought I heard that there would be a follow up video after some use. I’ve never gold hunted with a detector and like the specs on the gold bug 2 but know that all that’s new isn’t necessary better.
Its a comparatively minor refresh of an older machine. The basic detection circuits have changed very little from the original 1995 design.
💯💯Your Students From Africa ( Chris ) Keep Going Teacher🌹🌹🌹
Thanks, more videos coming.
I just went out on my first dig on a Clubs claim in Quartzite. All I found was a lot of .22 shells, some old sardine cans (the old-timers must love sardines) and some modern trash buried 8' under I believe an old push of ground. How I found it was someone dug into the side of this 8' wall of gravel and dirt? I'm not discouraged I'm going back tomorrow just trying to read the Land. I don't think they did a yearly push this year because the website says mother nature did it for them with all the rain? I'm not sure if anything significant was unearthed by this? So if I find a nugget great. I didn't have my hopes up for this year I started really late. It's fun anyway . Oh Another thing I found plenty of were big black flys found me 😮 they were really bad in the desert around the claims? Why I didn't know because back at our camper I haven't seen any all winter.
Best of luck to you in your efforts
small pieces of aluminum foil sound identical to gold. on the gm1000. in the ground.
The GM1000 only discriminates between iron and not iron. Not iron includes any metal that isn't iron like aluminum, lead brass and gold.
Keep trying and learning. ! Im a long time detectorist. I have a 24k but i can't seem to get out and use it!. The more you become familier with your detector the better it gets. You most get a sixth sense after a while. Everything Criss says is true.
👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
even with the gold monster gold is faint. i use the headphones. i keep trying. but has slowed things down. lately. have a good day
I promise that if you get larger pieces of gold, they will sound off loudly.
@@ChrisRalph i find gold here and there just have to find areas were we dont go. ,that takes a bit of research. have a good day
Thank you very muchhhhh, Chris Ralph!!! Greetings from Lake Titicaca in Perú!!!!!
You are welcome!
Wow lake Tittycaca in peru is ausome. Its history is legendary. I did a book report years ago on it. I amagine you cant just dig anywhere. There is tons of places in puru to look for gold id amagine.
All detectors will discriminate.
You’ve run a detector by sound that’s why headphones are very important!
Anything you can pick up with the magnet has the north and south pole no matter which direction it is
Which gives you to fields.
Gold silver aluminum brass lead only have one field.
Listen carefully it will sound like you’re going over cattleguard if it’s magnetic swing both ways and listen.
I already know what you’re going to say what if there’s two nuggets well actually two nuggets or more it’s not good because of derogation of the fields.
To make it simple they cancel each other out in the more nuggets the more cancellation you get!
You dont understand physics. It is not possible to have a one ended electromagnetic field. All objects induced to have a field have a north and south. Yes, targets sound different but the differences depend not just on the metal its made of but the size, shape, depth and many other factors. No, not all detectors will discriminate.
