<< Gold Nuggets found In Arizona with the Minelab GPX Series Metal
Detector.
Welcome to my Nuggethunting.com Website. This site will continue to
grow in the future. My nugget, meteorite and gold prospecting experiences
extend from Northern Alaska, down to the lower Southwestern deserts of
Nevada, California, Arizona & the Mexican border. Widespread amounts of
placer, along with lode gold have been found in these regions, which is part of
the western cordilleran. I'm amazed at the amount of placer gold that is
still lying around in various states. Economic Geologist estimates that
there are still thousands of ounces of placer gold nuggets lying within metal
detector range. This range can vary from a few inches, to several feet in
depth. Many of the newer technologies, such as Pulse Induction (MPS & DVT),
can detect larger metallic objects at depths of 3-4 feet realistically. History
states, large gold nuggets, over several hundred ounces, were once recovered in
the early American gold rush days. Without a doubt, all of these large
gold nuggets
have not been uncovered. With the use of a good metal detector,
electronic prospectors not only add another tool to their arsenal, but also can
cover much more ground, in return only adding to your chances of a good find!
Metal detectorist often find small alluvial and eluvial gold nuggets today.
Metal detecting has become quite the popular hobby within the last several
years.
Metal detecting for gold nuggets is also referred to as "Nuggethunting" or "Nuggetshooting." Nuggethunting is a field of gold prospecting and mining, in which the hobbyist uses a metal detector to search for gold nuggets & deposits near the surface. Since the recent technology advances in metal detectors, electronic gold prospecting has become very popular within the last several years. The metal detector is a tool that can now be used effectively to find shallow free-milling gold pockets and pay streaks within both dry placer and hardrock gold districts. Remember, the old-timers couldn't see the gold, so they used methods such as dry washing and screening to speed up their recovery process in the arid desert regions of the Southwest. Unfortunately their recovery was low due to faulty equipment design and operational errors. Therefore, today many of these areas have been left high and dry and are prime targets for today's electronic gold prospectors. Want to learn more about Electronic Gold Prospecting?
For thousands of years mineralized quartz veins and exposed ore bodies have been shedding rich float before the old-timers ever discovered them. Due to vast amounts of weathering, many of these veins have now weathered out and formed hillside (eluvial) and stream (alluvial) deposits. Many of the hillsides around idle rich gold mines may be dotted with gold ore and nuggets. Today's detector technology, including the new Pulse Induction (PI) units can find pieces of gold down to the size of a match head. With the use of a quality metal detector, prospectors can now increase gold finds by covering more area in a shorter amount of time. Learn more about Minelab Metal Detectors by "Clicking Here!" ....
Due to a high specific gravity of gold and millions of years of erosion and concentration, gold nuggets found the lowest possible place to rest. Most of the time, these areas were drainages, and the old-timers conducted most of their working within them. They dug down and exposed the rich pay layers of gravel at or near bedrock. In arid desert regions such as the Southwest, drywashers were used the most. The old-timers processed these rich pay streaks of gravel through crude drywashers. Due to inconsistent air flow, poor design and overloading resulted in poor recovery. Some reports say the old-timers lost more than 50% of the values they processed.
Many of these drywasher tailing piles still contain sizable gold nuggets that can be recovered with modern day metal detectors. Many of the drywashers used half-inch minus hopper screens, so anything larger was discarded and formed coarse tailing piles. Many of these drywasher spoil (tailing) piles are still waiting for a detectorist to find them!!
As metal detector technology continues to strive, more and more gold will continue to be found. Many of the newer Pulse Induction Metal Detectors, such as the latest Minelab GPX-4000 open up old goldfields for new discoveries.
