hey i got gold fever and you wouldn't believe it
i'm not chasing gold and i don't want to leave it this gold detector has got me on the run
all around australia it's got me roaming i find a piece or two that keeps me going i'm a
gold detective once again having a bit of a dig with dave out in the gold fields this time i'm
out in kangaroo flat i've been out to this patch before we've got lots of small gold off here with
all of the previous minelab machines and i'm expecting that with the way the 6000s performing
i'm going to dig some more yellow stuff i've marked my targets again as i usually do let's
go along and have a listen to see if we haven't got some gold under one of these flags behind me
very loud target so it's probably a bit of junk but you never know when you're hunting for gold
let's scrape the top off here just gently back that way let's have a listen over it
we've moved the target we're still going to find it
and it's fairly easy down in that section there
trust the old scoop out again not in that lot
got the sound there so let's listen again still in the scoop
not there back into the hand again not there
okay i can hear something rattling around there we'll have a look and see
and once again i think been able to score ourselves another one of those magnificent
lead shots okay not the color i'm looking for but it's a good start in an area that's been flogged
okay this is the next target that we've come up on here i'm just going to take out the chicken
skewer again and just sit him off to the side and we're going to have a listen over
here it's a bit of a stick and things here so it may not be a target but let's have a listen
okay let's brush away i'm not still not sure whether it's even a target here
brush away the surface soil come from the other angle have a listen again
nope just a bit of our ground noise there we're going to brush that back again
still sounding quite faint there to me so i'm going to scrape it away with my foot again
give myself a nice flat surface to work on
hearing a nice little peak there could still be ground noise but
i don't think so
right back to the edge there nice flat area again having a nice flat area is going to mean that i'm
not going to have to have an air gap between my coil and the target let's listen again
all right we're going to take a little bit more out again
if it should get a little bit louder now if it's an actual target after this scrape that back it's
very small if it's something but we'll continue to try and see if we can't determine what it is
just take a little bit more out and point it into the pick break it up a little bit
like i said it's very faint and very small if it's there and it could just be a little
bit of mineralization but i think it's got a good chance of it turning into a target
let's have a listen again
you can hear that sound there this just goes to show you what a little bit of persistence is doing
digging that little bit deeper and the sounds got better again so i'm going to
continue to dig this has got a great show to be a piece of gold let's see how we go
you can hear now how that sound has significantly improved from what we were hearing just at the
very start very very faint wasn't sure if it was a signal i'm certain we're on to sound now
that's a beautiful little sound i'm going to clear a little bit of this away
be a little bit careful here i've got a few ants marching around as well they're all helping me dig
but down in here is where we should have some little piece of gold hiding for me i'm hoping
we hear quite a solid sound there from what we had to what we've got now is an incredible sound
i just got to check a couple of these bigger rocks just in case it's already in one of them
not that one back in the hole not there
sit amongst my hands here it's not that one throw him back still no sound in there back in the hole
you can hear that all encased up in a lovely little piece of clay here
i'm going to break this in half and just see what happens here
she's broken in half let's have a listen again so there's a sound in that part
no sound in this part i love it when i just get to break these out gently and see what they
actually are that's how i get crack again see if i can't break another bit off here something here
okay still there i can't see anything yet
uh oh oh have a look at this you can see just sitting on the end of that is my little piece
of gold it's my first little nugget off this area i knew that we were going to get some
gold here because i've had it before working with the best equipment the minelab gpx 6000
absolutely dynamite on small gold i'll put a bit of uh moisture on it make it brighten up
a little bit and gold digger dive it's only about my third or fourth target
out here in kangaroo flat a magnificent day and the gold is already coming up
okay after the success on that last target let's try another one up here i'll just come down and
have a listen i'm going to take out my little chicken stick again sit him off to the side
okay i'm not sure whether it's even a target again same as the other one we looked at but
let's scrape away with our foot clear the ground so i've got a reasonably flat area to work with
okay i can say quite confidently that's not going to be a target we're just going
to leave that one just a ground noise let's move up a little bit further here
and i'll have another one off to this side here so we'll have a listen to
take out the chicken stick again throw him off to the side
absolutely clearly a target there possibly a hot rock there's a couple
of rocks on top of the ground so let's just move that away with my foot gently
got that sorted there let's have another listen
okay now move the target or the hot rock
i'm looking here i reckon there's got to be this hot rock here
just a highly mineralized piece of slatey ground there that's what's giving me the
reaction to the detector no need to look any further move on to the next target
all right almost say that one a little bit louder absolutely no doubt in my mind it's
got a very good potential of being a signal let's scrape this one away
sounds like a nice sweet sound sounds a little larger this time but
you never know let's scrape the top off and have a look
still got some more sound there take that up that way let's dig this out in here where if
it's down it's somewhere down in amongst this stuff a little bit of shale there's always okay
a few rocks that's a bit of gravel let's take it out have another listen
still got the sound in the hog i'll clear that back a little bit
take a little bit more down here and we should hopefully have this target out this dig i'm hoping
okay somewhere up in the top part there get in and get out whatever the target
is before the ants are march on to me not there back in the hole
still haven't got him yet back in the hole still got some sound down here
quite a loud sound but loud sounds can quite often be larger targets
and hopefully this one's gold not there no cigar on that one
it looks like i have found it let's just have a look in my hand here
looks like just all dirt there but i can see from this one that it's obviously got the formation
of an air rifle pallet to clean it up a little bit there for you
see just one small air rifle pallet just in my hand there uh not gold but
at least we know it was another target that hasn't been recovered from here previously
okay i'm still confident there's probably a ground noise this time
but we're going to have a little bit of a look anyway
it's clear a bit more back here i'm still hearing a little bit of a sound but nothing is giving me
a lot of confidence yet
now i'm almost cert we're onto a target here of some kind
i'll scrape a bit more back out here let's have another lesson again as i scrape an extra little
bit of uh soil off i'm going to find that the target should be getting louder if it's getting
louder i'm more confident that we're going to have a metallic object here let's have a listen again
that's a significant improvement on what we had before what was a very
iffy signal quite probably could have just been a ground noise it's actually
turned into something i'm going to dig a little deeper on now let's see how we go
absolutely certain now that we're onto a target i'm going to open her
up a little bit with the pointy end of the pick just dig it out
clearly the signal's out of the hole
i think it's going to be in this area somewhere around here and i'll grab me trusty scoop again
scoop it up
let's take the big ones out first not there
not there
kind of hope it might have beat him one of those
gonna try me big ones again
no sound in that one oh we're on to it again we have the signal in here now let's just bring this
up and show you what's in here before i break it up again just that little piece of rock
i've tested that over the coil and a sound that i've got coming off is in here so it's in a nice
compact little bit of our ground that's usually a good sign could be a piece of
gold in here let's break her open and see what we've got pull that one out
i still can't see anything yet cross this little one up
nothing there yet it's very small if it is uh a piece of gold but we'll keep looking
i'll break this down a little bit more and we'll head back to the coil i think
right where we thought we might have had a ground noise now this is going
to be extremely difficult to see but we could see a tiny tiny dot of yellow
on the end there i'll just put a bit of uh moisture on it again
just see that little shiny bit there there's going to be a little gold nugget in there will
only be a speck but this is the second one of this area we've been out here
for less than two hours now maybe just over two hours actually
have a look at that that is another piece of gold i'll break it out for you now
just breaking it out still breaking it out still now look when we broke that
up it's actually showing a piece of gold a little bit better in there now you can see
the actual gold color on it easily it's going to pull that one out with my fingers if i can
i'm not expecting that it's going to get much larger than that but if i drop that one down there
that is the second piece of gold whilst we're in kangaroo flat magnificent day just on the uh out
at the top of german gully actually very good little spot there'll be a lot more
little pieces like that there that's gold digger dave from kangaroo flat that's my morning detect
starting to warm up a little bit now so i'm going to head off and uh
head back in for a refreshing drink and get ready for my next adventure
