"ALWAYS AN ADVENTURE"

I enjoyed your video's... Ive been mining in western WA for a year... not a lot of bed rock here or at least it is eight foot down to deep for me to dig...LOL so I been hitting gravel bars with not much luck but it is fun.. thanks for the vids I learned a lot.. That thing is a monster... Congrads.. How much did it weigh? I never new that a gold bug was so good. Im just trying to get into detecting. I live in Northern california and the old timers found a 54 lb nugget like 10 minuts from my house. so im trying to find some gold.. Buddy Replied: That's a 3.2 gram nugget(50 grains) We have some good sized gold on the claim, it's just hard digging to get to it. You should be in some pretty good gold country in CA. When you get your detector, give a holler if you have any more questions on detecting or prospecting. what coil are you using? Is the gold bug hard to use? what a ugly detector Buddy Replied: Well, my detector may be ugly, and the old guy runnin...

Lynx Creek, and surrounding area, located just out of Prescott, Arizona, was discovered around 1863-1864. The area was a major gold producer and is filled with interesting mining history. The area has a huge drainage system and each spring run-off and summer monsoon flooding has a tendency to move material around, replenishing small flakes & dust of gold. This makes the Lynx Creek Recreation area a perfect location for the novice prospector to get started. Try shaking out the grass roots and moss in your pan, or sweep the cracks in the bedrock. You are almost assured to find "color" and small flakes. The gold at Lynx Creek is in the form of real thin small flakes, and there is plenty of "super dust", pin-point little pieces. This makes for an ideal place to perfect your panning techniques. I have always said, "If you can pan gold at Lynx Creek, you will be able to pan anywhere in the country". Good luck and Happy Hunting! There will be more inf...

The snow and rain slowed us down some out at the claim. Good to get out again! Buddy

Amazing waterfall caused by Az snowstorms. We plan on going back tomorrow and cutting samples around the bottom of that waterfall area. Above the large waterfall Small Waterfall We had to hike up above our claim to prospect another area. This photo shows our digging holes filled with water run-off. WE were not able to get out to prospect for a couple of months due to the AZ snowstorms. Cabin Fever set in so we chanced a day out yesterday, Feb 2nd. What we came upon will amaze you at some of AZ's Natural wonders! Enjoy the videos and remember Chris is filming the videos and trying to hike at the same time! Ha! Buddy.

We recieved a question from a Youtube user and wanted to share our response as an educational prospecting tip! Hi , I've just purchased a Gold Bug Detector and have been enjoying your Videos and would like to ask a few questions . Noticed you use the small coil , do you use it all the time or just mainly in bedrock areas ? I will be detecting Bushland here in Victoria , old Aluvial sites . My detector came with the 3 coils so what would you recommend I use ? Any other tips on using the Gold Bug would be greatly appreciated . I have just ordered Zip Zip by Larry Sallee and also Advanced Nugget Hunting by Heydelaar and Johnson , they look like good books . Keep the Videos coming they are great , regards from Down Under. Is your detector an original Gold Bug, or the new Gold Bug 2? I use the 3" coil exclusively. Less tiring for searching the hillsides, and gets down in the tight areas of bedrock after we have prepared our dig. One tip I can give you is to use a board, 4' x...
