I can say with certainty after watching hundreds of videos through the years, just watching a half dozen of your videos, I wasted my time with "most" of the other videos...your a wealth of information... thanks again, Chris..!

Chris, my dad taught geology and took me out with him prospecting. Your Nugget detecting ... is useful and fun, thank you, Jon.

I bought your book Fists full of gold and it’s worth it’s weight in gold ! Thank you for all your wisdom n wealth of knowledge much appreciated!

Great information! I'll definitely be watching all your videos to help me find more nuggets. Thanks for your service to our prospecting community.👍

Nice summary, Chris. Thanks for putting it together!

Nice videos, about time somebody does videos explaining the nuts and bolts of prospecting. Hope to see more. Thanks!

Most excellent talk Chris !!!

ive met some very stupid people when it comes to gold prospecting "ur 2 foot long wire gold with crystals is not gonna sell for anything over troy ounce value" an exxageration but you get the point. thanks for the great vid once again! very imformative!

Excellent many screen shots taken 🥂👏🥂🖖

Once again, thanks Chris!!! The Heart of a teacher and it’s much appreciated. 😎🙌🏻

Fantastic information. Especially valuable. Thanks! 👍

Very interesting Chris, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Yep, I have the book and it is a great tool...

Cheers Chris👍👍👍

Thanks teacher 🤠

Thanks for this Chris. I can't wait for the next bunch of videos. I'm just waiting for the snow to melt around here to get out in the field. Of course, today's snowstorm is dumping another 20 cm, so the wait will be longer than previously expected. I'm stuck with a Garrett AT Max for now. I can easily find little chunks of lead with it, practically slivers, so I should be able to see any gold more than 1/4 gram at least a few cm down. But I'm not sure how it's going to handle the ground up north. We'll see.

Thank you, Chris: a very interesting video: we (as young prospectors) need to know theese kind of things for better prospecting :-) Could not find you on Facebook...

I do that for a hobby, have a whites Gmt , had a little luck, it's so hard to find, but thanks for your video. !!

Hi Chris i really appreciate what you bring to us, in didn't see your video on discrimination i bought a fisher gold bug

Just learn and you answer some of the questions I asked on your last presentation.Gracias

Thank you 🙏

Chris, always a wealth of information !!!! Do you happen to have a series of DVD’s that give this series of information? Trying to watch these as well as having distractions sometimes make it difficult to be able to absorb everything you are showing us. Everything seems very important and I don’t want to miss anything. I have seen several different videos with many different styles. I can’t thank you enough for sharing all of your experience with all of us. MANY. MANY. THANKS. MY NEXT STOP IS AMAZON FOR THE GOLD BIBLE written by you.

Howdy Chris, as always a great presentation and enjoyed as well as learned. Will be good to see you in 2020.

Good info

Im one hours drive from the famous historic gold Town of Barkerville. Located in Northern B.C Canada. It was the second biggest gold rush north of California in the 1800s.

Good video Chris

Great video ! I would be nice to have a in person class on detectors

Your name Prove your Works, NiceOne.

All these people who find a pound or two, I think my dowsing rods are malfunctioning. Then there are the lying types who panned a half ounce off the top of the dredge tailings beside the highway one afternoon. Is that so? Quite a story. I've been running stuff at about a half gram a bank yard, and then I find out it's 750 fine 😕. I appreciate the advice on where to look for that easy hard cash though sir. A fortune for the trouble of stooping down! With a little luck, I'll be a hundredaire!

if you're curious to know where I'm going to start prospecting. My city is called Cristina MG, Cristina is a small city in Brazil, where I live is not like São Paulo, or Rio de Janeiro. my city is famous for good coffee plantations with good scores. I'm just sharing information.

even in a remote desert area that didn't get nearly the amount of traffic as other places, I still dig alot of trash. Only thing I've found so far lol.

Hi Chris, I’m new to this and am finding prospecting quite interesting. I’ve just ordered your book, contacted our local prospecting group in Utah and am researching detectors. I am aware of the Goldbug 2 and Goldmonster 1000 and am most likely going to get the Goldmonster. However, during my research I came across the QZ 80 made by Vogel (no relation to me that I know of). It’s pretty pricey but seems to be among the most superior products, based on the hyped advertising, which is all I can find about it. Have you had any experience with it, heard of it or know of anyone who has?

I’m wondering if I’m throwing nuggets out? I’m in highly mineralized New Mexico mountains and I’m exhausted from digging so many holes only to find junk or rocks. I’ve brought home a ridiculous amount of hot rocks but lately I’ve been tossing all rocks - many look like that clump you showed. But they are more like a pumice rock - mostly yellow but some reddish. I’ve crushed some and got nothing but I’m new to everything. So my panning might be all off too. I know I’m in gold bearing area but my geology is terrible and I’m a slow learner...😖

Chris, greetings from Australia. I have an inquiry that I'm hoping you don't mind helping me with. What can you tell me of those strange looking detectors that are nothing like the conventional metal detector?. They're rectangular in shape, have a long "nose" type antennae at one end, with some having two, and also sporting a pair of what we used to call "rabbit ears", like was used for early TV sets.. They have what looks like a post handle at the bottom, and the unit is coupled to an electronic box that's clipped to your belt. They range in price from a few hundred dollars, up to well over a thousand dollars. They claim to scan an area of 1500 square metres and can detect Gold down to 30 metres. Also the front panel of the hand held unit has separate LED indication for not only Gold and Silver, but for precious gems and diamonds as well. Supposedly good at locating undergroud structures, as might apply to Archaeology. AKS is one such brand. Apparently to find Gold, or whatever else, you need to walk along with the unit pointing straight down, more or less in line with your right leg if you're right handed and vice versa. My curiosity was piqued, so I thought that as a professional, you may have come across it and can tell me if it's a good or not. It can be found on eBay, but I'm a little skeptical as to all of its claims. It sounds to me like a potable version of ground penetrating radar, but I'm no expert. But finding precious gems, including diamonds, Hmm!. Many thanks for sharing all your videos. They're very informative, and you've convinced me to go for the Gold Bug Pro, as an entry level detector. Thank you in advance, cheers...

Chris do you have any insight on prospecting in NorthWestern Washington

Any advice for determining whether or not an area has already been searched to death by other prospectors? How would one know whether it is a popular spot or not? Cheers.

Why does large coils not able to find smaller targets close to the surface and why does the smaller coil not able to find bigger targets near the surface?

Could I use my half an ounce Krugerrand for practice and learn the sound ?

Garrett atx pro good for gold?

With your thumbnail pic, I took a 🔎 to it sideways & upside down and I can confirm that faces, people, & a hillside can all be, somehow seen embedded within the crevices of the large golden nugget. My guess is beings that obviously pre-date us, on a much smaller scale, became scorched by a higher intelligence. Bubbling even seems to have set in. If true, and yes the odds *would* be great, then would there be any added advantage knowing the true nature of the rock?

Which coil for which terrain?

Have you metal detected drift mines?

Did your friend find the big nugget here in the United States?

“Guys” aren’t the only people who are metal detecting. Just an FYI.

Gold doesn't grow back... except in river crevices ;)

going out metal Deteacting cost u moeny

Wish you could just get to the point.

Click bait... Lol. In your dreams. There ain't no gold, in your stream. You ain't got no, bling!
