Must have been a hell of a rush when you realized how big it was. Good on you mucker...things like this keep us going. Hope you found many more since....

right on the edge of a sandy patch too, hope you had a nice tree to camp under while you cleaned the place up, didn't look like to many shadey ones around there!

Hey mate, What kind of detector are you using? I used to have a Fisher Gemini II for cache hunting and it sounds like that.

What keeps those big nuggets on top of the surface. Is it clay or can you find nuggets like that in soft ground?

love watching your vids really amazing, wish we had places like this in the UK lol.

I might be moving to australia to work & i will definitely be doing this in my spare time. How much do you think i would get for a piece like that?

Hello Thanks for your replay m8. yeah i bet when you find your first peace of gold :). What do you mean with motion detectors , the ones that make a constant noise and when you hit something it goes higher?.

That was exciting! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Question: How many miles walked between monsters like this?! lol

You've probably been asked this many times before, but what brand/model metal detector do you use, or recommend using for prospecting? Btw, congrats on some amazing finds!

That's a great find brother, awesome score, what part of australia are you in mate?

It's a minelab detector I know by the sound. That gold was probably formed 250 million years ago. it may have been deep in a mountain back then.

decent sized nugget there, well done. I'm heading back west next year for a few weeks, any pointers on where to go?

I would be happy with a one ounce nugget, to finally join the "one ounce club" ........ Amazing find brother !!! ...... I got close once with a 26.2 gram ..... Greetings from Arizona .......

Nice find! Gold is always nice to find. I love your digging technique! Smash smash! Good video!

Even his metal detector is celebrating at the end.

hey do ya mind telling me where you went prospecting? not specificaly but in the general area? thanks

If thats a 6 1/2 ounce gold nugget then im Micheal Jackson

Cool! I was thinking about getting a White's MXT, is that a good machine for finding nuggets?

Do you need an expensive detec tor to find gold. Looked at one machine and it cost $5500 American. That's a bit steep unless you were finding lots of gold. Will the 2 and $300 dollar machines find it ?

nice. what type of Quartz is gold fount in, and do u know if there is such place's in UK to find such mineral's.

where did you find 6 and half 0z at was it in southern california in death valley?

Excellent find mate, great to see that gold of this size & larger is still out there even if I cant find it !!!

sounds like theres more from the sound of that detector. did you check it again afterwards?

Wow that’s a big nugget. No drama just a man with is detector, pick and camera.

@Terrorizer321 Mate, when your out detecting in 35 degree + weather, what kind of clothes would you wear? personally, an old flanno shirt and shorts topped off with bluntstone boots. The detecting gear he has is worth $5000 US

Woah! Look at all the freaking quartz!!! You are in gold haven brother, I wouldn't doubt you might even find a vein somewhere around there if you look hard enough!

What sort coil is that on your detector?

Hope your still at it finding the big ones while we dreamers toil away for a lowly wage and zero excitement...Man thats a damn big piece of pie you found there, well done!

what detector were you using?

How do you go about 'cashing' in your gold?

6 and 1/2 ounces? You just found over 8000 Australian dollars right there. I would be jumping for joy right now. Great Job man!

What a beauty mate. Must be nice to live in a FREE country. If I find gold in NY U.S.A/ Panned or mined , NY law says it belongs to NY. I'd probably get arrested for destroying the environment too.

Don't report your find then. It's nobodies business but your own. Refill the damn holes! There's way too many idiots who don't know how to properly dig a plug and refill it to appear as though the ground was never disturbed. Most KZread detectorists are professionals, watch them. Well at least the ones I'm subscribed to.

@@mitchellmaytorena1137 Im guessing there's hoards of gold buried in ny during the French and Indian war if you find some metal detecting, plowing a field, removing a large old stump, ny state wants that gold.

Can you recomend me a decent detector to start with? point me in the right direction. i will be using it for gold prospecting.

what detector did you use

Looks like a Minelab GPX4800 or Minelab GPX5000 ($4000-$5000) with a 15 Coiltek DD coil, I think. A excellent gold hunting unit! Great finds.....With price of gold now, I guess it is about time to sell all those 20 plus years of wedding bands I have! LOL

Congrats mate, I hope you find more:)

i love the part at the end where the Detectker start crying :D

what machine thats is cheap and quiet good for a beginner?

I though he was very calm, If i had found that nugget, i would have been doing back flips. Great find thanks for the video.

Wow" everytime I watch this video! AWESOME CLASSIC"- GIANT SLUG!

haha so excited to show the camera he forgot he was still hooked to his detector

Pretty impressive. He sets up the camera and tripod right where the signal is. He must be a prophet. ha

This detector GPX 4000 and coil 24 * 12 Coiltek Mono old - more than gold

That’s a nice slug of the shinny stuff.

I'd love to do this. Out in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful find mate.

You give me courage to dig, congrats my friend !

It's in Central Australia next to 4 big tree's, how hard could it be to find the same spot? LOLZ

Classic. And dragging the MD by the Headphone cable. Well it is built for the great outdoors :)

the same thought crossed my mind at first then i realized this guy may be legit look how excited he is when hes digging for it he drops his expensive ass metal detector and almost doenst even care because hes soooo pumped about finding that nug still 5/5 from me

It's just amazing that valuable stuff like gold is just lying in wait like that. :)

mfgunit .. I'm picking up a White's GMT tomorrow. It goes for $800, and the reviews are almost all positive. I tested one myself, and it's definitely made specifically for gold prospecting. Good hunting!

Where in Australia is this? you don't have to say exactly, but in general sense, where?

Swing pump tune swing pump tune over and over. My Prospecting instructor insisted that is the correct way to use a metal detector however the man in this video is using correct technique. Great job and convert that into cash.

Look at the undestrurbed dirt where he begins todig, how could that be setup?

Cold Aussie beer all around ! Nice find.

nice find. It sure made you dig for it.

I want to do this. I seriously want to do this. Humans weren't made to sit in cubicles all day omg

The person who made this video is in Australia, I am in Mexico and here there are also places where gold nuggets are found but they are not that big, I found a gold nugget with my Garrett AT Gold metal detector, the nugget tapeworm a weight of 4.6 grams. my e-mail is jfruiz54@hotmail.com

@@TimBrownSenorCafe haha thanks for asking. I actually did end up leaving and buying a gold detector. I quickly realized that where I'm at is completely dry of gold and I'd have to move to where the gold is at... away from friends, family and the place I love so just not worth it at least for the time being. While I did enjoy doing this for a few weeks, and even though I found 0 gold I do not regret trying it. I learned a lot and can at least say I tried. Unfortunately ended up back in a cubicle, at least this time the cubicle was a lot bigger ;) and the job more tolerable. Who knows maybe I will try again someday ;)

All you guys complaining about the way he treated his equipment like it is a pet dog or baby. Come on he found gold I would be jumping around and probably bashing my detector on the ground like a rocking roll performer would a electric guitar. My point is it is his crap and not yours just congrats his finding and hope you get that lucky.

Never realized how much rough handling those detectors could take. Didn't like the popping noise from the camera though. Unless he can afford to replace them every 6 months, this Guy needs to treat his equipment better.

Looks so awesome... i wish i could prospect for gold in Denmark aswell :(

YOU FUCKI'N RIPPPA! I love it man, keep up those finds and stay motivated.

Nice work mate!

well done. what was the value ?

Aw man, Australia has some monster nuggets! I just got an AT Gold, I be right over! lol

wow thats a monster nuggy ,,, fantastic find ..thanx 4 shareing ..

Congratulations. Continued success in the future.

Just one more reason i want to move to Australia...nice video

Way to go fellow, do it again and post another video when you do...thanks for sharing in the joy of treasure hunting :D \../.

i love how he gets so excited after he finds the nugget he just leaves his detector on the ground and pulls it by the cord lmaoo because he knows he made more than enough money to pay off his metal detector by finding that nugget and make more profit on top of that.

@mfgunit you might start with a used GP3000 for about $1900, a used sd2100 or 2200 if you can find them -all Minelabs. If you can't afford that, you might try a minelab eureka gold or fisher gold bug if you're in the U.S., but it's probably better to save up for the P.I. detectors (pulse induction) which are the SD and GP models. Also, you might try Whites new TDI, also a pulse detector with slightly less depth but with some iron metal discrimination capability.

The metal detector sounds funny xD

You could buy some nice nail clippers with that.

Excellent slugs mate!! Thanks for the vids.Greg, your a fool mate.

Its wearing me out just watching him dig in the heat...i know what thats like and it sucks the strenth right out of you.. Great find..spend it wisely

half the digging was away from the detecting site....im amazed someone could drag a detector across to the camera...must be a cheap detector and you could probably do with some wireless headphones if your just going to drop and dig with the headphones stlil on

Well done brother!

Pulling dirt all over your control box ?

That is absolutely amazing!

I got my last one through the internet. A C-Scope 1220XD a full £100 cheaper through their online supplier. A decent 'cheap' beginners detector start from around £80.00. But depending what country you live in they could be dearer or cheaper. Don't be tempted to by a 'motion' detector, I've used several from different manufacturers and found they are very prone to false signals which send you NUTS!! You could try a S/Hand model, all very good, but loads cheaper. Once the bug bites, its for life!

look at all that quartz and iron rich soil!!!....gold country!!

on a nugget this size 20 inches max. the detector it likely picking up my pick in the video (say at 4 ft)

sweet work!! keep it up 2!! cool :)

Hey Mate are you near ASP?

anyone know which detector that is?

didnt think much of this at first then ..... hoooray yep you desrve some fun man on your own diggin holes in the wilderness like being a kid all over again great vid :)

just like that hey ?? Dam thats a pretty sweet hobby/job whatever it is for you !! You basically just dug up 6g's . Do you do this often ??

that was great, Thats gold fever digging....wow. pow,pow,crunch,

nice one :) whats the detector???

awesome find!

wow,nice stuff. Its probably easy getting lost huh? Do you camp out and go on expeditions?

Your 100 detector would overload on that bad ground. Looks like Western Australia. That's a Minelab PI. White's has now introduced the TDI PRO, even better for less money.

done his money worth of work.... walking around all day, in the dust, in the heat, having the patience... same as doing a 9 to 5

@TheMadCrumpet its probably worth the same in relation to inflation and what he could buy for what he sold it for if so.

UK £3000 , around US$5000, although I guess the buyers would offer somewhat less.

Well done mate!

That's a $9000 nugget... ripper for sure!

wheres this at?
