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?  Visit Rob's Nuggethunting.com Gold Prospecting & Metal Detecting Forums at - Prospecting Forums (Click Here)  We currently have over 3,800 registered coin, relic and gold nugget hunters. 

     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.
