So how in thehell do you turn on a shop vac in the desert?

I've watched many video's about finding gold and yours is the best. I am near a dry wash simular to the one in your video and can't wait to work it. I live in Calif. desert near several active gold mines and a bunch of retired gold mines. Hope I find something so I can catch gold fever. Thanks for the video, it gave me the best information in a way a person can understand the how and why of gold mining. Thanks again.

The price of your metal detector is like buying a used car!!! Ouch

Im gonna find me some Gooooooold!!! Nice Tutorial!!!!

Were you working in Arizona? I've alway's wanted to find atleast a picker with my Tesoro Lobo supertrac Just haven't found any yet. Thanks Brad

@bradmoore8 : Yes, just outside of Wickenburg on one of the Miner's Creek claims.

EXCELLENT INSTRUCTION…ONE OF THE BEST WHICH i'VE VIEWED. LOOK FORWARD TO CATCHING MORE!

very nice instructional…..I want to prospect for gold too, but im here in Virginia. Seems like a huge logistical problem to get out west. The gold here in Virginia cant be metal detected , I think, it has to be panned or dredged, and there isnt a whole lot. Ive been to contrary creek and came up empty. Thinking about moving for a month to Nevada and trying my luck. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

@wotan237 – a lot closer to go to North Carolina, S Carolina, or N Georgia to learn than Nevada. Perhaps devote some time there learning to spot the likely holding places before heading West. Maine, and Vermont also have gold in quantity in the East. Good luck!

SWEET! One of the best vids. Unlike most you like to share your inside secrets and skill. Many keep such good info to themselves.

How would you rate the tesoro supertraq at a rate of 1 to 10 10 being the best on all detectors that cost under $1000.00 Also I'm having trouble setting my supertraq up. I was out in the forest around Prescott and almost had to turn the sens. down to 4 or 5 because of the minerals in the ground causing chatter everytime I swung the detector. At what point do I need to switch to alkali or black sand on a sens level 4?5?7? Thanks Brad

@bradmoore8 : Since you are in Prescott, there is a Tesoro factory rep in Prescott that would be glad to help with a live demo on the soil – contact them for help. The Tesoro is a good workaday unit, about a 7 on the bang for the buck meter. Would be higher if it had some graphics or if the freq. was higher, but it's a lot of detector for the money – just a quick search of my own site showed several in the $600 range new. That's not bad at all for what you might find with it.

Hey good info. I looked at your site. I lived in Cross City, Fla. in the mid -late 60's and 70's and visited Hart and Manatee Springs often through the summer,I know for a fact there were a lot of and coins & rings lost there we use to go on a bus with others every other day to one or the other. A large building with food and bathrooms at Hart and cat walk out to the river at Manatee.I saw a lot of teenagers throwing their dads old coins in those springs to impress the gals, The older the better

What gold wheel do you use Matt? I live here in South West MT. I have a Whites MXT. Spring is on the way and I am going to try some detecting.

@ScootersBasement : I use the Gold Genie for gold and tilted back it also catches sapphires reliably. As for your earlier question (I can't get to that page for some reason) you want to hunt in lock, if the detector is unstable, go to ground, rebalance (pump it up and down a couple times) and leave it in ground and try hunting, if it is still unstable, go to salt, rebalance, and leave it in salt and try hunting. Very rare the MXT can't handle ground – remember to use the small coil. Good luck

Thanks Matt, your very helpful and I appreciate your quick replys back. I chatted with you a couple of years ago on youtube. If your ever out this way near Bozeman MT. I would be honored to meet ya and maybe do some prospecting.
Your good people Matt, keep on keepin on!!!!

Matt, what is your opinion of the Dessert Fox Spiral Wheel? It's about $200.00 less than the Gold Genie.

@ScootersBasement : the Gold Genie is very thorough, it is the only one of the gold wheels I know of that some of the big operations have used. The DF & smaller panners are really meant for the field where you want a down and dirty fast ID of what the potential is. If for cleanup down to the nitty gritty, the Gold Genie is the way to go, if in the field for recovery, the smaller units are appropriate, easy, and quick to use. The Gold Genie will get virtually all the gold out, but is slow.

Hope you don't run into any Bandits out there running across the border or near that area …

in sweden u will be sent to jail for doing stuff like that, i really dont know . Maby becoues its so many viking things made of gold and stuff , but i dont know
