Working a small area very carefully is usually more productive on ground that has been detected heavily. Good luck, we rarely go out without results so keep at it and keep low and slow with your coil.
Some great information there. I guess working the outsides is the same principal you use when detecting surfaced areas. I'll definitely keep that one in mind. Thanks guys.
Great to see you back out there on the gold. I think I have watched every video you have posted since I started out, and they have been very informative to help with the learning curve involved in detecting for gold. I’m in N S W and I usually take ten day trips to Bendigo when I go because of the four hundred kilometre I have to travel, but have only been once this year due to my wife having a bad car accident in January and is still recovering,and also having two more grand children. I have only found five nuggets total of half a gram after around forty days out there but very keen to get back out there, just love being out there in the bush.
Thanks Neil, Sorry to hear about your wife, my wife also had an accident late last year but has now recovered. One of the reasons we have been a bit quiet. Also 2 new grandchildren so I hear where you’re coming from. Now, what detector are you using? one piece of advice is to do some research and go to an area that was very rich in alluvial gold. No one gets it all and if you follow my technique of doing a small area super carefully you could be surprised what you find. All the spots I do my videos have been done over and given up by many, but we keep getting gold. Good luck….. BK
Thanks BK. Glad to hear your wife has recovered, great to see her out there killing it again. I am more like your old mate Rick , I travel alone. I used a gpx 4500 with a 12 inch evolution mono coil, and do you know out of all the things that I have learned from you,and you stipulate I think in every video, pick a small area and go over it thoroughly, is the thing I struggle with most and I don’t know why.
Welcome back you two. I have missed your adventures. Cant wait for more vids as I have to wait for a hip replacement so I can't get out myself. Cheers and good luck
Good to be back Ray, I’m just putting together another video from last weekends trip. Good luck with the hip replacement, hopefully you will be back out there in no time. Got a bit of a dodgy hip myself so can feel your pain, but replacement is very successful these days. BK
Thanks for watching, if you check out my RUclips channel there is a playlist called “Finding your first gold nugget” which is aimed at those new to detecting. There are about 10 videos in the series. BK
great work i still run a 4500 with a 14 inch elite coil i run 14 on the gain 9 on the stabilizer in enhance I Liston for signals what are iffy they breakup and are short , not like wide ground noise ,I've found some nice bits in those areas people have hit them with every detector invented including 6000 7000 I think your a good operator and that's 70 percent of the game.
Thanks Alan, most of the areas I go to have been hit hard, but I still love the challenge of finding gold in them. I look for areas that were known to be very rich in the old days and go over the ground low and slow. I think part of the game is being able to pick targets that aren’t obvious, just subtle changes in frequency. I’ve got some great nuggets which didn’t really sound convincing till the ground was scraped.
Hi I'm Matthew with a gpx 6000 I'm heading out on Sunday around inglewood if you want to catch up I know a spot near there. Love your video cheers Matthew
loved your video...thank you!...were I live, there's hardly anything left on mullock heaps...we have to fight through scrub, thick bushes, blackberries, prickly pines and climb steep gullies to find the yellow....seriously now contemplating getting the 6000 and trade in the 7000 for it......If you could keep only one machine, which one would it be? Thanks and keep up the good work...
Not sure where you live, but even here many believe that the mullock heaps are done, but still we pull out gold by very carefully going over the ground that was done before inch by inch. It is so easy to miss target, some of the gold we pull out is based on a very slight change of tone on the detector before a scrape improves the signal. The 3 gram we found during this video was like that, many would have walked away from it. To be honest I much prefer my GPZ as an all round detector. It goes deep and I will invest in a smaller coil such as the 12 inch nugget finder to improve sensitivity on the shallow targets. I prefer the build quality on the GPZ, much stronger than the GPX which is quite flimsy.
@@BKGoldDetecting thanks for the advice, yes I got the 12" inch NF coil, so you reckon there's not much I miss with this combo as compared to the 6000?
Kim, if you watch part 2 of my series “Finding your first gold nugget” I talk about research. I mention a number of good sources of information including articles on the reefs of Inglewood and websites that have maps. Inglewood is just one of many goldfields, I have had similar levels of success in other areas such as Kingower, Dunnoley, Wedderburn etc. If you use the same methods of careful detecting on a small area you will get similar results.
So Kevin. The sensitive mode you are talking about is normal i guess ? What sensitivity and threshold were you using in normal? Hope to see you again in WA this year . Good luck
Hi Mark, a very different world detecting the Victorian goldfields compared to WA. Was nice to catch up there. Yes normal mode goes much deeper as I’m sure you know, the threshold I left at default and sensitivity was mostly around 6. All ground is different so in some locations I’ve had to vary these settings considerably. I find the most important thing when in normal mode is to move the coil very slowly or you will get lost in all the background noise. Be prepared to dig quite a few hot rocks as well, one of the downsides of normal mode.
I wasn’t talking about the settings on my 7000, I was talking to an audience that have many different detectors so talking about specific settings on the 7000 would mean nothing to those using different detectors. I inferred that every detector have different settings but usually have a deeper mode that is not good at discriminating ground noise and a mode that is better at discriminating ground noise but has less depth, so I try to keep the advice general. In case you are not aware that is Normal mode and Difficult mode on the GPZ. All other settings change depending on any number of factors such as mineralization and EMI etc.
I like your videos because there's no over the top carry on when you find gold. Just valid information and genuine behaviour. 👌
Same here on mine
It’s just gold
Thanks. We like to show it as it is… not afraid to show some junk finds. Need to show the newbies the real experience, not just the highlights.
Great to see you and Eliza back!!
Thanks, good to be back, another video should be up in about a week.
A real treat to have you and Eliza back with your videos Kevin.👏👏
Thanks, it’s good to be back. We were on the gold when we left so looking forward to getting back out there.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I think I have wasted many years by swinging too fast may be why I have not been successful! Cheers.

awesome video cheers for the video very nice gold Elisa and Kevin
Glad you enjoyed it
Love your relaxed style and great advice. Next time I will put your tips into action thanks to you both cheers Mick.
Thanks, should be a follow up video next week.

Thanks for the look well done stay safe
21:38 wow that's GM size bits impressive machine !!
I couldn’t believe how clear the signal was on the 6000 for such a tiny piece.

Absolutely

Good trip everyone happy good times what’s the dogs name looks happy to be out to 🎉
Thanks, the dogs name is Cody, he loves camping and spends his time running back and forward to see how we are going. 🦴🐕
you guys going back to tibooburra this year?
Not this year, mainly Victoria and maybe a short trip to WA
So Kevin. The sensitive mode you are talking about is normal i guess ? What sensitivity and threshold were you using in normal? Hope to see you again in WA this year . Good luck

I guess they must be a secret.
