Metal Detecting for Gold Nuggets

Gold Nuggets Detecting

Gold Nuggets Detecting is one of the most exciting hobbies there is. you will always feel that the rush you get from actually finding treasure is something that is part of our DNA. We tell stories about it and dream about it when we are kids. While the likelihood of discovering a pirate’s booty probably isn’t too likely, finding gold nuggets is absolutely possible and prospectors are doing it every day!

Unearthing a gold nugget that has been hidden for millions of years is a rush unlike any other. I wouldn’t discourage anyone from getting into this great hobby. At the same time, I like to give people a real expectation of what they can expect rather than some fantasy. Some of the points above might seem a bit sobering,but I’m here to tell you that you can go out and find gold nuggets with a metal detector.

Metal detecting for gold is harder than coin hunting

Most people get started by metal detecting at the park looking for coins and other lost items. Hunting in parks and playgrounds is pretty easy since coins are large targets they are easy to hear.

Looking for gold nuggets is much different. Gold country presents a lot of challenges, the most obvious being that you won’t be casually walking through well groomed grass! We’ll discuss some other challenges below.

One of the most frustrating things about metal detecting for gold nuggets is the huge amount of rubbish that you will find. Even in rich gold country, the ratio of trash to gold can easily be 100-1! You’ve got to dig that trash or you will miss gold, and there really isn’t any way around it.

Gold-Specific Metal Detector

In most types of metal detecting you can probably use a relatively cheap multi-purpose detector with good results. However, in the goldfields you are going to need a high quality gold-specific metal detector. The average coin detector isn’t going to be able to handle the iron-rich soils that gold nuggets occur in. A cheap detector will give you fits. The price of a good basic gold detector starts at around $500 and goes up from there.

Most Gold Nuggets are Tiny

Even when you are in a known gold nugget producing area, most of the time the gold nuggets themselves are going to be very small. There are countless more sub-gram nuggets than there are big ones. Beginners usually make the mistake of listening for big, booming sounds from their metal detector. Actually, you want to train your ears to listen to the subtle signal of small gold nuggets. If you only dig the loud targets, you will spend all your time digging up big iron trash targets and pass right over all the gold nuggets.

Research is Important

You’d probably thing that the most important part of gold detecting is getting out there and hunting hard, but it’s actually the research that you do before you leave the house that will make the most difference.

Now don’t get me wrong; to be successful at metal detecting for gold you will need to work hard. But you also need to make sure you are hunting in a place that has gold nuggets.

To find these areas you need to read books and literature about the early mining in your area. Make note of areas where the old-timers were mining. You can go there and still find gold today.

Impact Metal Detector

Impact metal detector from the Turkish company Nokta-Makro is a unique multi-purpose Impact Detector high-performance device in all-natural conditions and terrain.

Within two years of its issuance, Impact Metal Detector proved its capabilities and reliability through the experiences of prospectors and through real success stories such as the discovery of coins, statues and ancient monuments by searchers from different countries in the world.

The main important feature of the device is the Multi-Frequency technology, which was introduced first through this device, which allows the use of one of three available search frequencies and switching between them when searching to suit the discovery of different targets in various ground conditions.

In addition, the device has many features and functions to facilitate the work of prospectors and treasure hunters, for example 12 different search mode for custom detection applications, the digital ID feature of the target and the ignorance of specific range of metals as well as the cancellation of iron and special sound tones, plus the economic price.

Impact device is recommended for every new prospector or hobbyist and even a professional one because it enables you to discover your buried metal objects easily and offers you the best investment of your money, thanks to its low price, which is your gateway to the world of treasures discovery.

Multi-Frequency Technology , The principle of the work of this technology is that it is possible to use one of the multiple frequencies separately for the search of buried metal objects, here in the device includes three different search frequencies (5 – 14 – 20 kHz) , so prospector can switch between them according to his need and the aim of search and nature of buried targets and their size and other factors.

This technology, the first of its kind (which was later implemented in Kruzer and Anfibio), included the versatility of the device and its suitability for the various purposes of the prospectors, as well as the saving money, where there is no need to buy three detectors for metals for each frequency.

GARRETT ATX

GARRETT ATX the most powerful natural gold detector with high sensitivity for detection of tiniest gold nuggets underground. It uses a unique Pulse Induction technology that gives most accurate and reliable results with extreme gold sensitivity to locate tiny gold nuggets in all hard terrain. however is a versatile device can be used for many purposes and metal detection activities such as gold prospecting, relic hunting and coins shooting and so on.

GARRETT ATX is a robust machine that give the prospector best performance in most hard terrains, such as rocky lands and sandy soils thanks to its robust design and advanced features.

Maximum Detection , With ATX there is no need to switch search modes to enhance detection of specific target as the device can detect all targets at the same time.

Advanced Ground Balance , Garrett ATX engineered with special FAST TRACK ground tracking technology for automatic ground balance in different terrains such as mineralized ground and saltwater. By using this technology the device continuously measure ground mineralization then automatically adjust itself for optimum performance based on ground conditions.

GPZ 7000

GPZ 7000 gold ore detector is considered a best device ever for gold nuggets detection, because of its great performance which marked it as first gold detector for natural gold in the world. with its new search technology ZVT (Zero Voltage Transmission) , offers a greater search depth and higher sensitivity for small gold nuggets than most devices. GPZ 7000 From Minelab includes advanced technologies that give a gold prospector a reliable device for detection of gold in all terrains and ground conditions such as rocky lands or sandy soils.

It can be the first choice for any serious gold prospector and natural gold seeker also  around the world , as it  it will open a new wealth opportunities for the owner of the device. gives wonderful reliable results in all countries around the world especially Africa and Australia, because it offers best performance in comparison with all other rival gold detectors devices.

The advantage of the high performance of GPZ 7000 is the existence of the ZVT (Zero Voltage Transmission) technology, the first of its kinds, because it is not available in any competitor device.

Zero Voltage Transmission ( ZVT) Most metal detectors and gold detectors devices work according to two technologies for searching for different kinds of metals:

– Very Low Frequency (VLF) technology which offer better sensitivity at higher frequencies

– Pulse Induction (PI) technology which offer more depth in mineralized grounds.

Each previous technologies has its own advantages, and also disadvantages and practical uses. GPZ 7000 incorporates the unique ZVT technology, so it combines the positives of both technologies, as a result giving high sensitivity to capture the smallest gold nuggets available in VLF technology, with a deeper depth of up to 40% in comparison with any rival device that works according to pulse induction technology.

The key to finding gold effectively is to become knowledgeable first about the different types of natural gold nuggets and their characteristics. Since they come in different forms, shapes, sizes, and grades, these factors will impact their prices. Whether you are a rookie or veteran gold prospector, make sure to invest in quality equipment for a successful gold hunting every time.
