    Hey there! Thank you to all who constantly motivate me to get out there and find that candy. I am very lucky to have access to these areas, and even more lucky to have all your support!👊 Merchandise will be available soon too so stay tuned! 😇💛🎁

      PioneerPauly It's an Oneida fork. They have been around since the 1880s. I couldn't find the exact year but take down all markings on it and go to their website to try and find a match.. if you're so inclined to do so. If I find any more info, I'll pass it along.

    I could get my detector ground balanced and I was missing targets that someone else was able to get and was ready to sell the detector. I paused this video and went out and sure enough, It is now balanced. Thanks to your demo, you just saved my detector from Craigs List!

    Those Fisher Gold Bug 2's are excellent detectors for fine gold. A quality detector really pays for itself quickly.
    I've recently switched from that to a Minelab Gold Monster 1000 and love the 6" coil it comes with for the sensitivity to fine gold.
    Just like you suggest....it takes practice to really get to know your machine. Keep up the great vids!

    Hi Pauly, my husband and I have been following you for a while now, we started prospecting for gold in 2010 when he retired; but just started watching your videos last year when we got a new tv that gets internet connections! We have learned a lot from watching you and Dan Hurd, thanks for the great videos! In the one above, you found an Oneida fork, I looked it up, and they were founded in 1848 (and made on a commune until 1880). (Wikipedia)

    Hi Pauly , great video w/ lots of great info. . i have a request for a video , id like to see you do one on showing gold fall out thru water , to show just how heavy it really is . im still amazed that w/ the high flow rate of a sluice that gold does sink so fast to get caught in the matting . thanks for all the great videos an all the info you provide !

    though I had some problem with sea water It also ruclips.net/user/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn

  • @woodswanderer7274
    @woodswanderer7274 5 лет назад +2

    Pauly, That was a good demo on ground balancing. Ground balancing is very simple. I don't know why but it seems that people have a lot of trouble understanding how it works. It quiets things down and you have to re-balance when it starts to get noisy, sometimes fairly often. This was a good video on gold detecting with the GB II, it's my go-to machine also.

    Thanks for the ground balancing tip brother. I just got my first detector and in not sure if it's any good. It was given to me and looks a bit rough. But the more I watch you the more I want to try this. I sent you a message on facebook asking some questions but i'm getting the answers from watching more episodes. Maybe one day, once I start panning we can get together as we live within a few hours of each other. Keep it up and good luck finding that big gold brother!

  • @underscr0e

    Funny, I found a fork detecting yesterday, along with a couple 1 and 2 cent pieces. Oh, I also found a few one and two dollar coins! As one and 2 cent coins are no longer used they are great finds for me.
    What a beautiful place to detect and find gold, great vid Pauly!
    What I'd like to see you do now is come back to this place with sniping gear, your detector, pan and sluice and do a multi disciple vid using all your skills to clean that place up.
    Hopefully you'll snare enough gold to get your butt back here to Auz! Love your vids so much can't wait to see you here again :)

Truely speaking from Ohio where I carried tons of durt to find almost nothing. But passion of gold mining doesn't come from something else that not giving up :D

    Unbelievable Pauly, the quick setup explanation for the GB2 was perfect, bettering I just got mine 2 weeks ago and been looking for videos on tuning it and understanding it. You did better than the fisher videos and anything around. The concept of Just using the small know on reject until it sounds balanced and then fine tuning with bigger was just what I needed to hear. All other videos don't explain the ground reject and it's function other than ground balancing. I feel confident now to use it.

    Great hunt. Tough going but that's how gold is with a detector. I looked around for that Rogers pattern, briefly, but wasn't able to find an exact match. Although it does remind me of an Art Nouveau style from the 1920's. I detect a lot of forests here in Ohio and finding silverplate gives me a clue as to what age the area was hunted, farmed etc... A little more detail and it could be found as almost all of that stuff is collectable. Great vid Pauly and keep up the good work! If I lived up there, we'd be camping overnight!

    You're in Canada?
    This is neat! The terrain you are working reminds me of my old digs in Plumas county in California, where we camped 2 weeks per year(in the 80's). Very similar rock formation, but a deep water hole nearby, so I know I would find A LOT of lead fishing weights given that and the fact that there are many granite rocks to perch oneself onto, while fishing. So, maybe better to get a detector that can reject lead?
    I am considering buying a gold bug 2 and going back to my old prospecting location. Gold is where you find it. There is a large vein of quartz that runs at about a 90 degree angle to the river that can be accessed above the water line.

    Great video. I've had some modern digital detectors but always go back to the GB2.
    Cool how you have Vampire teeth.
