- G'Day! I hope that you're having a pleasant start to 2023. Ok! Here is my first 'Stage 1" of finding a patch of gold nuggets in new country. We call it a virgin patch because you'll be the first person to find gold there ... And what a joy! The last new patch I discovered, I found one bullet in a month of detecting ! That'll spoil you rotten, you won't be able to detect the Ole Boys workings ever again ;-) So this video attempts to put together the major ideas that I've been talking about over the past year ... It's really a synopsis of "How to Prospect", I try to cover any important points you'll need to know if you have-a-go in the bush. I'll put some 'Cards" in soon, they'll point you to my other videos that go with the talking points more in detail. Oh, I better give you the link to the chap I referred in this video, "Part Time Prospector", he's done an excellent video on how to use Geoview:

Ok OK! Many thanks for watching, I appreciate it ... I'll try to answer each and every one of your Comments. All the best, Prospecting 101

I told you to check out this channel mate
Not bad hey.
Impressive Jeff Williams is watching a great ole goldie from Western Australia 🇦🇺 👏
Thanks Jeff ... I was just saying what an anomaly you are, most geologists aren't prospectors, much less hard-rock miners! You're the whole package Mate ... When is Discovery going to come a-knocking ??? Cheerio ...
Thanks very much for the shout out regarding my video about GeoView. Much appreciated!
Love your videos, keep them coming.
Hi PTP ... Thanks for your Comment ... And I'm happy to direct traffic your way because you're doing great things! Like ... We don't need another channel of $20 nuggets being dug up right? hehehee Cheers M8 ...
Always a pleasure...Cheers mate 😁👍🍻
Thank you! Cheers Ryan ... Appreciate it Mate ...
I have to say that you have made great improvements since I watched your first video, cheers Rob
Thanks Rob for the encouragement ... I actually plan to go back and re-edit my early YT videos ... Some of my best footage is in those first few videos ... It deserves better! Cheers Mate ...
Another great informative video again my friend
Nice
*One word three times- Exciting exciting exciting 😮😳👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻*
Awesome video,awesome discovery and I can’t wait to see the next Episode!
Ta Ms Glenda ;-)
Thank you.
Andy
One day all this info will be useful to me. For now I'm just thankful you are sharing it all.
Hi HD ... Thanks Mate ... I wonder when 'that day' will arrive? When you retire and go bush, happily chasing the shiny stuff ??
@@prospecting101 I'm too young to wait for retirement. You'll have found all the gold by then 😂.
I'm really hoping to get it done next year. First time around I wont have much time and will most likely be a complete disaster, but learning as much as I can now so I have a small chance of success.
AWESOME" PIECES! HOT TIPS! Cheers from -2c Idaho!
Brrrrrrrr JD! Hope your panning hands don't get frostbite! Cheers Mate ...
The Fountain of Knowledge that is Prospecting 101 on show again. Thanks for the refresher course so that information sinks in. I love your videos and cannot wait for the next instalment. Happy New Year to you. cheers. 👍👍🍺🍺🍻🍻🤑🤑
Thanks Robert for your kind words ... I hope to get Stage 3 out soon! Cheers Mate ...
Great video as usual
Cheers Bruce
Thanks again.
Great stuff
Awesome stuff
Love the information 🙂
Chunky stuff mate👍👍👍
Great content. So informative! 👍
Thanks 101👍🏻💛
That’s a fantastic start to the New Year GG. It’s just a pipe dream for me that I’ll get out there one day. But I can still live vicariously thru your videos. Thank you again.
Hey Kev, I'm happy to entertain you, hope to see you out bush one day soon ... All the best Mate ...
Top video. I still find it hard to concentrate on the theory side of things but as soon as I see that ground I know that the practical out in the field is the satisfaction of having put in the research. Cheers 🍻
Hi Steven ... Thanks for your Input Mate ... You know, doing the research and finding some 'hot' info ... It feels like finding a patch! Especially when you get out on the ground and the rocks all come together just when the numbers do. Last year, I pushed through three kms of thick creek in a numbers chase, and 100 metres from the high ### the ironstone came in, then the quartz ... Then WHACKO! Nuggets straight away!!! Bring on 2023 ;-0
Boomski another excellent video , those two massive nuggets at the start are beautiful .
G'Day Kayne ... Mate check again, there's THREE Monsters at the beginning, I'll try to get a better photo ... It's from the 1980s so not easy to scan/photo ... Cheers ...
Terrific video and intell... you've put in a bit of work. Thank you for helping newbies like us. Many thanks.
Interesting!
Thank you Mr Gold, great advice & tips on going bush, monster nuggets we dream about finding. Cheers Kev
Hi Biggest Kev, thanks you for your Comment ... There's got to be heaps more Monster out there waiting to scare/thrill us huh? It's a massive country! I saw some big slugs found around Norseman last year, I've never been there but looks like rough country ( thick trees) ... Ok! Cheers M8 ...
@@prospecting101 G'Day Mr Gold, you're welcome, yeah the wife & I are heading down to Hopetoun next month for a holiday, I'm taking the detector and the pan. I'm currently waiting on a reply from lease holder, fingers crossed. Cheers Kev
Great info matey. Love your format.
G'Day Guy, thank you for the Comment, I'm happy you like what I'm doing ... Some people say I type too much .. .And make the viewer read ... But hey, this is heavy stuff right? ;-) Cheers Mate ...
Kudos Mr P!
Holy cow jeff Williams visited your video , spose he wanted to see huge gold 😄
Hi Kayne ... Yes Mate, the mighty JW had a splash! That chap is very special as most geologists are not prospectors, ... Much less miners! Plus he's been in the video biz a long time ... And his editing skills shine shine shine! Cheers ...
Great tips and results .I can be amusing to see detector operators running across ground were they have found nuggets before .
Absolutely GR, the 6000 has changed the game! All patches are new again ... Get out there Mate ...
Bloody beautiful looking gold, great video with all the info and knowledge. Bring on stage 2. Cheers Dan
Thanks DT for your as-per-usual support ... Appreciate it Mate ... Cheers ...
Nice work once again
Thanks Au Buster ....
I'm off to Sandstone on the 26th for two weeks. I have done all my study and have loaded my gear so fingers crossed... 🤞🤞
Hi Knight ... Good luck Mate! You're tougher than me, I'd melt in the heat that is usual for SS this time of year ... Cheers ...
Wow I could only imagine how exciting it would be what beautiful specimens Thanks for sharing
It really is Mandy! I hope I find another Big Patch soon because I'll record every moment ;-) Cheerio ...
Very informative as usual.
Cheers for sharing your years of knowledge with us all.
So nice of you Craig to leave your fantastic Comment ... Thanks Mate ...
Cheers for your update & great info with what to have with vehicles, parts, food, first aid, sattlelite phone etc Then depnding on which state you want to look for gold you have to have a fossickers license or prospectors and the fees differ from state to state. Like any hobby it all takes money, time & effort, knowledge and the will to stick through it.
Great tips mate
Thanks Greg for your Comment ... Glad you like my info ... And hope it helps you, just one little bit makes it worthwhile ;-)
Another great video. Always looking forward to seeing the new ones and learning more about our amazing hobby.
Thanks mate
Many thanks for your kind words Mike ... I appreciate them Mate ... Cheers ...
Good to hear from you mate ,hope Christmas and New year was good,what a great video,a steep by steep, approach, keep up the great work,very interesting,, thanks 👍 again regards David chalk
Thanks, you too Chalky, I hope my "Stage 3" does our Hero Mr.Cash proud ... To be released real soon ... Cheers Mate ...
Another brilliant video, I see we have to learn some new terms and phrases, we are sitting in our tiny cottage in the Cotswolds ,waiting to sell my landrover and be able to get to Oz to try this, my wife bought a goldmonster , and I have a Garret sea hunter for the coast, cant wait, thanks for the inspiration
Great content once again, cheers, best wishes for the new year
Thanks Sharyn, same to you ... Thanks for your Comment ... Cheers ...
Nice to see how it's done in other areas. Bit different where I am, how ever , similar, in that research is everything. Thanks for posting these videos.
Thanks TE Au, appreciate your perspective. Mate give us an idea of the difference ... Might want to visit Up There one day ... Cheers ...
@@prospecting101 e mail, and I'll send some photos of the ground, very different country, terrain. But still similar in a lot of ways, but not possible or practical to drag a chain around.
I have a couple of short clips under top end gold, will give you an idea.
Get some nice gold here, but patches are difficult to find, would love to share some ideas with you, show you some tracks on trilobite. Get some advice lol. Most ground I'm working has never had a detector over it.
looking forward to your next video.....
Always the best content 👌
Thanks James for your kudos ... It's nice to be appreciated Mate ...
@prospecting101forgold your a legend mate 👏
thats some nice tips mate
Another top notch vid mate. Keep it up 👍 loving the content and has help me out so much can’t wait to get out and find my own patch!!
Thanks 👍 Ryan ... Your name is out there somewhere, plastered on a nice lump ;-)
Hahaha when you showed us pulling the chain I wondered if your wife was going to come into shot attached to the chain🤣 just kidding.. married men pull invisible chains their entire married lives.
Did you checkout the early Malcolm Douglas vids I recommended? The late 60's early 70's stuff? Thanks for a great vid looking forward to seeing the slugs in part 2
Hi JL, many thanks for your Input ... Yea the Ole Ball n Chain gag huh? Some guys have their better half scratching the ground for them, forget the chain! hehehee I'm just catching up now on Comments ... So I'll check Malcolm out ... I've seen him of course, a real trailblazer ... Cheers Mate ...
Fantastic videos thanks so much for all the hard work in putting this together.
Glad you like them A, and appreciate the kudos Mate ...
Great info
dang you make it all look so simple lol ... i know it aint course your area is so much different than mine but alot of good useful info
G'Day Shane ... Thanks for your Comment ... So Mate, where are you? Alaska ?? Cheers ...
@@prospecting101 i am in northern nevada near the comstock load of virgina city
Another great video! :) cheers mate
You are a Legend one day mate I love to find gold like you I'm learn more and more with your videos thank you so much we are off to leinster this month ⛏️👍. Tony
Thanks Tony for your kind words Mate 👍 I hope you do well in Leinster, last time I drove past I was surprised by those humongous wind turbines ... I think they produce enough to power the mine ?? Cheers ...
And the town we are up at Leinster picked up a few bits end of the month going to do a gold course with gold talk in Leanora looking forward hopefully Learn more have a great Easter 🐰🐣👍⛏️
If that don’t get your blood pumping your pushing daisies…. (6 feet under) I went out Jan 1st prospecting on a creek it was raining for the first 3 hours then the creek flooded then the rain turned into sleet (frozen mushy balls) an hour and a half later it started snowing what a day lol still managed to get a few minus 40 mesh pieces per pan so it wasn’t a total loss but it sure made it difficult to prospect lol thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼
G'Day 48th ... WOW! You're one addicted shiner! I hope your specks relieved your pain heheheee Cheers Matey ....
Beautiful gold , that will get the blood pumping.
Hi Michael ... Thanks for your Comment ... Oh Mate! I couldn't sleep the night I discovered the Elephant Reef, I was up at 4am making bread! It's a different world, being on a good patch ... Cheers ...
Love watching your vids., full of great information and handy tips. I know you like to keep your finds and identity a secret which is also good advice "loose lips sink ships" was a saying during the war and after hearing that story about when the planes that were flying over head one time and that poor couple. Did the Police ever find the wife, I always wondered about the end of that story, sure hope they got the bastards, you can never be too careful in the bush. Not sure if I like the voice over app you're using though, it sounds a bit too cartoony for me but if that's all you've got, I can put up with it to gain a bit of your knowledge. Cheers mate look forward to the next vid.
Thanks CapBax, I appreciate your Input Mate ... As far as I know that poor woman was never found ... It's a curious story as there are many anomalies in the whole saga ... The main investigator was the officer that came out to my camp when Poppy perished, he didn't say much about Tombstone but would nod appropriately at my queries ... Oh and about my voice ... I'm exploring my feminine side heheheee ... Cheers ....
@@prospecting101 Cheers for the reply, Yes right out of Wolf Creek that sort of stuff. I thought it was a voice over app. of some sort because when I hear the radio playing in the background it also sounds the same but if you're coming out of closet that's OK, just watch out for those weirdos out in the bush. (lol) 😄
wouldnt this be the first video in the playlist rather being the 4th.
Ingredients for finding gold: luck, lady luck, miracles, and more luck😅
You have some great advice here I would love to visit down under for a hunt sometime! Well done do you sell any of your nuggets? 🍻
G'Day TT ... Thanks for the super Comment ... Where are you from, the USA? Bit different Down-Here, heaps of red dirt to see. Oh, I sell my gold through the mint ... Great service, honest too (in South Australia) ... Cheers ...
@@prospecting101 Yes U.S.A. I been amazed by your Australian vids very much! Thinking about a gold hunting trip to either Australia or Alaska!
Can I ask what your settings are for deep gold please..thank you
G'Day H2 ... Thanks for your Comment Mate ... Uh, I like my Z7 quiet, not screaming at me, I've found that a decent-sized nugget will give me a squeal when I have my Sensitivity on say 8 ... much like the Factory Settings. I tried the Sens on 15+ but was too noisy, and I re-worked that ground and heard some 1 grammers at around 18 inches (I think, sorry can't remember and didn't take notes) ... Hope this helps, everybody's different, actually depends on your hearing too ... Cheers ...
Yea that helps I get lots of small stuff close to the surface say .3 .2 .1at 100m but 1 gram at 18 inch never so I need to check my settings I think.. on ground with 100s of small bits but never any thing bigger or deeper and I think theres should be at lest a few there deeper down
New at prospecting. Could you guide me on what setting would be best to use with a 7000?
Thanks for your query ... Now let's see ... I use the Z7 on pretty 'low' settings, like using the Difficult mode, the Sensitivity on 11 and Audio Smoothing Off. It may be my own hearing but I don't like the Sens on high, like 18, I've found the deeper nuggets give off a subtle signal which I miss when the machine is screaming at me. But some people swear by the highest settings! Look, it's such a powerful detector that really, you won't miss much. Well, OK, the 6000 does get those smaller bits in that 6-10 inch zone ... So you never get it all. Check out some gold detecting forums for lots of different opinions. Hope this helps ... Best of luck ;-) ...
Here we go...2023 New Videos, Gorgeous Gold... YEE-HAW !!!
Thanks PR2 for ... Your enthusiasm! Cheers Mate ... PS ... Love your "Haul Video" for Christmas ;-) Cheers ....
