    That ring is a cool rare find and the nugget too!
    I've dug .22 casings a foot or more deep that scorpions took into their tunnels and that's what I expected it to be.
    They sound good that deep too.
    I left the area Monday and hunting Gold Basin for a week or two while it warms up some up towards Alaska.
    It was great to see you again my friend!
    Keep digging ⛏ 👌

      @Jason D. What a find, indeed! Question is how did that ring get down into that hole so far into the ground… if we’re talking naturally, it would have taken, wow at least three to four hundred years? Probably longer. Maybe a ground dweller took it under ground for his own little keepsake… I think that’s the story here, but WOW I couldn’t believe he pulled that ring out of that deep hole!!

    I'd say that ring is local made of local gold which I'm sure could be tested without damaging it! Fascinating to think about the man's family and the matching slightly smaller ring that probably adorns the finger of a great grand daughter or grand daughter.

    I'm with you I think the pack rat took that ring down to that level. You did some crazy digging there. But you've got to keep digging until you find the target. They are disappointing when it turns out to be trash but part of the game. Great video and a good lesson Bill for those who give up early. You just never know what is making the detector sound off.

    Hi Bill, thanks for the video! 1) Would a pinpointer be of use to you once you are in a hole? 2) Is a "hot rock" a rock that sets off a metal detector? 3) Have you ever found a meteorite? 4) Are you hunting on public land, or did you need permission/a permit? I realize that I asked a lot of questions - whatever you can answer is great thanks.

    Hey there, i'm brand new to detecting/prospecting, but @7:30 you are describing the hot rocks and hovering your detector, i can't help but think of the advice i've been given which is to not dip the coil, but to keep it at a level point while sweeping. Indeed, if i dip my coil while sweeping i almost always get a 'target' sound. So what am i missing here? (Im not disagreeing with what you had to say, and obviously you are having great results.) Thanks for the advice!

    • @NUGGETSHOOTER
      @NUGGETSHOOTER  2 роки тому

      I always keep my coil flat while hunting and it will indeed false if coil is lifted at the end of a swing. Not sure what you mean. I do tip it when checking targets to better pinpoint.
