Massive nuggets unearthed on a steep hill beneath a leeching gold mine - GPX 6000 Delivers Big

- I’ve hit this brutal mountain before… but this time, the GPX 6000 found something I’ll never forget.
Armed with my Minelab GPX 6000 and my Sur-Ron electric bike, I pushed into brutal terrain that’s straight from hell-but it was worth it.
In this video, I return to a legendary goldfield where the old timers once swung their picks. With today’s tech and some serious grit, I hunted their forgotten ground-and uncovered what they missed.
If you’re into gold detecting, Aussie outback exploration, or just love that satisfying beep followed by a shiny surprise, this video’s for you.

Hey buddy are you in Qld🙏🇦🇺
yes sure am
Well you'll never know if you dont, all in a days work could end up being a good day or not so good,
but at least you'll know.
@@HowToFindGold never leave a tern unstoned.
@@HowToFindGold beautiful one day perfect the next👌Love watching you find your treasure mate and I will be on the road soon to find some nuggets too😎central Qld🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍👍
Nothing like the feeling of suffering followed by a reward of that nature. Bloody legendary! This channel is gonna blow up for sure!
Bloody hope so haha, lots of work so far both for gold and the content :)
A couple of great finds there. I would have fallen off the hill on that bike. Ha ha.
I did a few times just didn’t have the camera rolling haha. The poor old bike cops a beating
My grandfather was a ww 2 veteran that was stationed in the south pacific and Australia as a tall gunner. He always wanted me to go there with him looking for gold and opal mighning. Seeing these videos makes me smile and think of him.
thats a cool story yea the old timers had it pretty hard back in the day even with all my modern gear im tired after a day up on that mountain
Love the video mate, what awesome adventure! Well done🫡
Glad you enjoyed it mate
Just when I was feeling good about my tiny nuggets, BOOM! Nugget envy! Great finds, congratulations. Interesting geology, very different from where I go in Victoria.
Not sure what I am more jealous about, Detecting in Australia, the freaking amazing machine, the Gold you found or the e bike......Darn you, I came here to relax.
Added: I do love how Pulse Induction machines sound...Even a Hot rock sounds nice , instead of screaming at me....😂😂
haha they are all good, the bike is pretty cool though
Awesome nuggs! Thank you!
Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it.
Very nice nuggets there Nick 😊. Hopefully I can find some that size when we head out bush soon.
Fingers crossed mate :) just need some luck sometimes aye
Awesome mate, love your channel, cheers 👍👍👍
Glad you like it mate!
Awesome adventure!! Some bloody good finds. Video editing and scenes are on point too!
Thanks, I really appreciate you saying that. I upgraded all my cameras to try and bring a better quality picture :)
Thanks Nic, Burlington, WA.
hope you enjoyed it :)
Good stuff excellent video thanks for sharing.
Thx Peter
Thanks
Thanks gold fox :)
To really clean your gold in the field, you can carry a little water in a small plastic vial with a water tight lid. Drop in the nugget, shake a little, works great. Only weighs a couple ounces and you can really show what you found.
Yea I'll have to give that a try, that's a great idea!
These videos are educational, as an American I can (especially a Floridian) I am almost fluent in Australian
Haha true that, any goldfields near you there ?
nice job! cant wait to see more
Cheers! I’m always searching for new spots
great vid Nick. you were puffin pretty hard early. sent shivers up my spine. pmsl 😂
brutally steep wade like almost losing balance steep, the video doesnt do the gradient justice lol
i belive ya. i saw my piece roll away
i almost lost that 11 grammer to the hill, if i had lost it i probably would have walked after that lol
Ripping mate
Sick video bro. Well done
glad you liked it
With enough likes it might go from sick to healthy 😂😂😂😂
Wow I can only wish
Well done
fingers crossed hehe

Good find! Enjoy prospecting the rest of that area.
Thanks! Will do!
Awesome nugget, well done

top vid mate you are on to it very well done i know the feeling well my brother and a mate and i hit a 14 ounce reef few week ends a go. keep up the hard work SE gold is so nice was ther for 7 yers
Wow 14 ounces that’s mad, love it when it all just comes together, many hours of grit before the pay comes in that’s for sure
@@HowToFindGold yes 8 years looking down here then my bro found it lots of pics and vids dam good stories to we dont think we will see it again that was once in a life.
Yea that is special mate and I know the feeling of looking for years always wondering “when is it my turn” if only people truly understood the dedication required to find excellent gold
Interesting location and finds.
Hehe
loved that intro mate...say hi to ya Steel horse for me, she gets ya to the mad spots. Another CRACKA MATE.
She sure does mate :) can’t wait for your vid, can you send me a sneak peak? lol
That last nugget was crazy must be still heaps of pickers left in between stacked rocks
Safe to say those rocks will be moved by the end of this week ;)
A fantastic day out, and what a beautiful location. Thanks for sharing. Subbed. Cheers.
Thanks for the sub! See you on the next one
Awesome, you've got the honey hole there.😊
Yea she’s a good spot for sure
Awsome video Nick, we seen you last Saturday, I didn't realise it was you. We were in on the property near where your ute was parked.
Hey yea I had a lesson on which I teach at nevs :) come say hi next time for sure
Yeh cool, Brett and I have been going out to nevs a bit.
AWESOME" SESH! NICE GOLD! WAY2GO! CHEERS" MATE from 0c Idaho!
thx mate do you get much gold over there?
bro u do such a good job, would love to spend a day with you i feel i could learn alot.
For sure mate, I actually put together a course teaching absolutely everything I know if you wanted to have a look. howtofindgold.com.au/
The course is good the rest is experience and time in the field and getting to know your detector well :)
Well done mate, definitely worth the effort getting there 👍
Cheers, always happy when it pays off.
i'm shocked that gold can be still found like this? lucky you. thanks for vid.
In some spots yea for sure but it’s definitely hit and miss
Love the content bro 🔥
Thanks man! Glad you dig it.
That was great to follow your trek up the mountain and see those awesome gold finds mate. The drone footage angles are cool too. The weird albino insect was a stink bug so good thing you didn't upset it! When did you do the trek, just recently?
Hey yes only a few days ago, it’s been raining a lot so have to escape the creeks to actually find something so thought I’d return to this spot, it’s been calling me back for years so I’m glad I went
@@HowToFindGold Ah nice one, well worth the trip! Plenty more for the mountain to give up too btl - Cheers
Keep going m8 🤜🤛 I've only just started but I've already had 13 finds and paid for my detector which is a gold Monster 1000 it has been a handy little tall curious to know what you are using 👍👍👍👍
Yea they have their place mate if your finding nuggies keep going :) I’m using a 6000 with a 12x7 nf coil :)
Good use of a pin pointer mate
Haha thx mate
Dont need a 6000 to find them. Trust me on that one. Good nuggets mate
Exactly mate any machine would have found them - sitters
Matt here mate try top of hill next time and you will have to come to Victoria to try your luck. 😊
Good shout, I'll add it to the list of places to check out. I may dig through that pile of rocks next week see how the back is feeling haha, yea vic is on my hit list I’m very keen to come down
Well done mate😊. Are you heading to Western Creek again this year. If so might see you up there and have a beer.
Yes I am! July 4-14th I’ll be there, beers sound perfect, it’ll probably still be 35 degrees lol
Nice gold. Do you know how to calculate how much gold is in it? By weightings?
Google “specific gravity test” very accurate
@HowToFindGold just checking if U knew broski.
wow , very nice nugget, I was about 10 years ago a lot prospecting in WA , this big nugget , you thought would be about 8 Gramm, I immediately was convinced, that must be 12 gramm, so it was then 11,87 gramm 😅🤣😂
Nailed it, I usually always overhuess so went a bit lower on this one ;)
I noticed you need clean and lube your bike chain , it looks rusty .Congrats on the nice nuggets 😊
I’d say she’s due for sure it’s been a while since I’ve done much maintenance
@HowToFindGold understandable when you finding gold , gold fever is a real thing haha
Epic .
Thx Tony
@@HowToFindGold 😇🥰
When can I come over to Australia and help you move that boulder field. Need to get under that stack of boulder...😲😲😬😬😬😬
Haha true where are you now
Should I dig that mountain side boulder field next ?
@@HowToFindGold USA. Montana. Would take me a bit. Especially if I take a wrong turn along the way.
Subbed after the first watch hahah keep it up also if i get my prospectors can u just have a fish for gold in most public land? Or do u need to stake a claim every time before going anywhere with the detector etc
so for private land youll need written persmission, if you have a miners permit you can jump on gpa grounds and go nuts :) some farmstays offer prospecting too and they can be pretty good
To be a fly on wall as the person found the crumbs that lead them here
To follow-up in real time as they dug
With our comforts mind you
It be a tad spectacular to watch the highs an lows if a scratching man an lady
Til there mother load was found ❤
Yea I often think about the excitement they must have experienced and the lows too
ONYA CHAMP YA HAD SOME GREAT FINDS THERE.WHAT TYPE OF DETECTOR WAS YA USING.ALSO I SUBSCRIBED UP TO YA CHANNEL AS YA GOT SOME GOOD CONTENT.ANYWAY CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FINDS AS THEY WERE WELL EARNED
thanks shane detector is a gpx 6000 from minelab with a nf 12x7 coil
One thing on how to find gold you've got to live near it
Yea exactly it’s only in some spots
Good luck. I subscribed too...😊
Thanks for subbing! See you on the next one.
Before I get chance of vid
Bike links an how you feel about it 😊
This walking stuff is great but after 25km it gets a bit thin on return trip 😂
I’ll get a full bike review up soon, yeah after 25km you really need the bike!
@HowToFindGold oh yeah youth is wasted on the young 😆 sadly I'm not in my youth any more 😆

Ok
How can you not have water on you...
I don’t carry very much usually, a lot of times I also just carry a filter and stop when I pass a puddle or small stream. I might show that in my next video it’s a really cool piece of kit :)
