I love your videos and positive vibes. I live in the Colorado Springs area and enjoy the knowledge I'm gaining watching your videos. I've been starring at the Union Park area myself. You should do a video on purchasing a claim.
Gabriel Navakuku don’t purchase. Stake your own. Who would sell a good profitable claim? No one. Go to mylandmatters.org and you can search current and past claims. A 20 1/2 acre claim is only about $200 a year in fees.
Awesome. Lol I'm sorry and I'm a new guy to all this and dont know the lingo but yes. The process of staking a claim is definitely what I was meaning. I definitely appreciate the link Mr. River.
Thanks Gabriel, much appreciated! You have to be very careful when considering buying a federal or patented mining claim. A vast majority of all federal mining claims you see for sale are likely not worth your time or money. Hobby level claims can be found but you really need to know what to look for or consult with a knowledgeable claims researcher such as myself. I will consider doing a claims research or buyer beware type video in the future.
Gold Fever Is Real ! I worked for a small CO underground gold/silver mine when I was a lot younger and my boss had full fledged gold fever. We would be out driving the roads to Cripple Creek or Central City and have to seemingly stop every 10 minutes to inspect the road cuts and chip away samples with rock hammers. He was quite the character and well liked in CO.....funny to remember it now.
Right. Colorado is know as a fine gold state. Most prospectors here will never find a flake as big as the one I detected. Now if you put your mind to it and know where do dig, pickers and nuggets can be found :)
I'm impressed that you keep digging in the same spot, there is so much noise. I feel like I need to watch it again to try and hear the difference between all the sounds. Do you think that all those noises meant that heavy material was collecting there?
Highly mineralized ground can be a real challenge to detect because of all of the seemingly endless chatter/targets and noise. We call this "hot ground". You have to train your ear to decipher sounds and ignore the chatter. I have had targets that sound just like rusty tin, turn out to be gold. In fine gold county you have to dig them all!
I get distracted by the loud noises and by the time I find something, I forget there were other noises...so you always re-detect the area after you find something or do you have a different strategy for making sure your dug all the targets?
@@sarahsaathoff4648 I do check my hole after I dig a target, though sometimes after a piece of trash I forget to check the hole again... I have found 3 pieces of gold in 1 hole before.
It could be iron or a variety of minerals and conditions. Wet clay or soil can even give false signals on a VLF detector. The loud rocks I found are hematite and magnetite which are very iron rich. The 2 pieces of ore that I found contained iron, lead and galena all of which are conductive.
Wow, wet clay or soil can give a false signal? That is interesting...I wonder if that could mean bedrock in some instances...like the water is pooling on bedrock, therefore the clay stays wet?
Sensitivity 10/full. Ground setting mid/normal. Would ground balance often. Super noisy ground but it seems like it I dumb the machine down more, I rarely find anything.
Exactly right Minin! Determination and persistence pays off. I/m always tempted to tune down the machine in hot ground but when I do, I usually don't find anything.
Bro try to put the ground reject to 0 from 10 and if the sound never change it is usually gold or lead..but if will sound boink2c not zip2x it's hot rock..believe you me😉
Keep after it Bob. There are some fancy detecting headphones that allow you to change the tone and pitch sounds. Best of luck out there and Thank You for Your Service.
Sweet finds, congrats! Kenny
It was so exciting, thanks Kenny!
Great find! LOVE your enthusiasm and passion! It makes me yearn to get out there searching for treasures!!!
Yeeehaaaaaa! Wooooo hoooo! That initial burst of of joy is unbeatable! Come on out!

Great video thanks for making, know any good mining clubs to join in Arizona or Colorado?

Will you make a video of crushing and panning that mineralized quartz? I am super interested in what might be in that rock!
I can do that :) Found another very interesting piece of ore that didn't make it into the video. That one will be really exciting to split open!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp this would be cool to see
I will look forward to that video. I turned on notifications! I can't wait. I'm super curious.
Way to keep at it! Very cool and yes positive thinking is the key! Plus luck,:)
Positive thinking definitely does go a long way. If my mindset is not correct, I don't even bother detecting.
@@ColoradoGoldCamp Too true! That goes with many things in life!

+10 for perseverance!
Thank You Jack! It's not easy. So many days without finding anything, and then finding this small nugget sure was satisfying!!!
Way to keep after it!
NICE----Many don't realize Colorado does not have lots of nice size gold.

That is amazing for Colorado Gold!!
Thanks Zuri. Those pickers and nuggets sure are tough to find here!

You totally rock.
Thanks Man! Some have said that I must have rock my head ;)
Good job man
Thanks man! It was a fun one!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp Looked it!
Right on! Good video.
Thanks Rob!
Why do the rocks make noise? Is it iron?
It could be iron or a variety of minerals and conditions. Wet clay or soil can even give false signals on a VLF detector. The loud rocks I found are hematite and magnetite which are very iron rich. The 2 pieces of ore that I found contained iron, lead and galena all of which are conductive.

Great stuff, keep bring that gold home! Gonna do some of the same this weekend!
Nice! Good luck out here Doug!!
Do you run full sensitivity in that sort of ground or back it off?
Sensitivity 10/full. Ground setting mid/normal. Would ground balance often. Super noisy ground but it seems like it I dumb the machine down more, I rarely find anything.
Enjoyed watxhing
Ryan is that you? 😅 I legit know YOUR doppelganger man!😂
Hard work and determination is what it takes to find those kinds of peices with the gold bug 2 in highly mineralized gravels ☝️
⛏⚒✨
Great work

Bro try to put the ground reject to 0 from 10 and if the sound never change it is usually gold or lead..but if will sound boink2c not zip2x it's hot rock..believe you me😉
Thanks George, I will give it a go!
Liked and subscribed🎉😂🎉😂🎉😂
Man my hearings jacked up from the 50 CAl Machine guns I used in the Marines. I litterally can't hear that tone. Kinda sucks but I refuse to quit.
Keep after it Bob. There are some fancy detecting headphones that allow you to change the tone and pitch sounds. Best of luck out there and Thank You for Your Service.
Nice
Where mane?
Those hot rocks have a different sound. The "chatter" to my ears and gold does not.
Absolutely Bob. Gold and lead give off a solid, quick and tight "zip, zip"
Sweeeeeeeeet
🙌
How can you say giant Anti-Flag at the same time
I'm not sure what you mean?
@@ColoradoGoldCamp i dont know either so dont feel bad
I use a minelab it discriminates GPX5000 it’s the shit
Nice. Hoping to get my hands on a GPX soon!
I wish to find gold but I couldn’t go out side
