Gold anyone?
I'm about to start a new hobby and am looking for advice. I want to start "nugget shooting"- looking for gold with a metal detector. I just ordered a Fisher Gold Bug II ( the cheapest gold detector I could find) and I have a private place to go...so if anyone has any helpful hints please let me know.
Thanks

In your area, find places that have both quartz and hot springs. Old mine piles can be good, too. The screens they used in the old days were rather large and let some small nuggets through, (that can be considered large by hobby standards.)

The best place to find gold is in my mouth.
I paid enough for it....that's for sure.
I have a house about 5 miles from the superstition mountains east mesa, arizona and their always getting gold up thar.
One thing to remember, go where no one has gone before. If u see a place and your first reaction is "there's no way I would go there"......that's the place u have to go.
Actually, right after a hard rain....in the ravines is a good place to go.
Something else to look for is "meteorites"......could be worth more than gold.
Also, people use to bury their money in the ground because they did not trust banks......well, what if they died before they could tell anyone about it, and where would u hide it if u were in their place? Some place in the wilderness, huh?
GO GET EM
