@meMiner

Daisy is on meds. They help a bit. As for a detector, it depends upon what it will be used for. All detector models have little differences in their strengths and weaknesses. My only real advise is get a name brand and maybe look at what others are using in your area. One thing to keep in mind is VLF technology is mature, so the differences between detectors over the past 10 years is marginal. As such, the F75 in this video was brought used and it works just fine.

I have yet to find a gold coin. One day maybe. As for Cobalt, look at the maps to see where the mines are and pick a few to check out. There are no secret spots. If I know a place with lots of silver, I try to clean it out and then it is kaput. There are a few places to keep out of and typically they have no trespassing signs. I stay away from any sites right by town and marked as part of the Silver Trail. It seems rude to me to dig holes there (tourist spots) and there are lots of other places to investigate. Almost everywhere has been detected, but there is still silver to be found. Good luck!

"Cobalt blue" is made by the metal cobalt and sintering it with aluminum oxide - man made pigment essentially. The pink is a hydrated cobalt arsenide, cobalt without arsenic will not produce the pink - erythrite. It's similar to the green - Annabergite - on nickeline. Both are natural.

@@ExploreUnderground thank you so much. I wonder if it is safe for meMiner to handle the pink stuff. Arsenic has a bad rap!

Please explain cobalt... and each other mineral in this video. I'm happy that you are doing well. Out of curiosity will you get much of the smoke from the California fire?

Silver is hard to find

Hello, amazing videos! I really enjoy them. I stack but would like to become a prospector i been looking into metal detectors and was wondering if you would recommend the Gold Bug 2? Im trying to stay under 1k, also can I find silver ore like you are finding anywhere near Reno, Nevada?

The GB2 is an excellent machine. It is designed for small gold.

@@silverbullet9748 Many people are sponsored (I am not), so they are limited as to their opinions online. However, I don't know your area, never having detected there. I also don't own a GB2. It will find small gold, but like any VLF will struggle in heavy mineralization (hot rock). I have an older GB Pro, but you haven't seen it in any current videos because I prefer other detectors in the areas that I am working. It works, but is somewhat poor on depth relative to some of my other VLF units. I have 3 other Fisher detectors, so obviously like the company. I was vague in my answer because I didn't want to steer you wrong and this is really the wrong forum for long answers. My primary detector for gold is a Minelab GPX500 pulse machine, but it retails for 6x the GB2 and is heavy. I have heard good things about the Minelab SDC and seen it in use, but the GPX is good enough for now. My current go-to for silver is the Minelab Equinox 800 and Fisher F75. However, any of my VLF or PI detectors will find their share of silver. At the end of the day, as long as you have a somewhat recent detector model, it is a personal choice, mostly contingent on price, the conditions of the area you will mostly be detecting, ease of use, knowledge of the detector and the type of targets sought. Personally, I ignore the discussions on VLF frequency because any name brand detector is optimized for the machine's frequency and I don't notice a difference except ease of ground balancing and size of target at depth. Before purchase, you will drive yourself nuts trying to figure out the one "best" machine, when the real answer is the one you have is probably good enough for most detecting. I used to study all of the newer models and wait for this improvement or that upgrade, when in fact the differences in the field are marginal. Dang, I type anymore and I should just make a video about this. LOL

@@silverbullet9748 One other thought if you heart is set on a GB2 is to consider a slightly used machine, as long as you confirm it is not a fake. Yes, there are China fakes out there. One place to watch is the Treasurenet buy and sell. You can sometimes get a very good price and they usually sweeten the deal with extras like coils, digging tools, etc. Alternatively, many of the online (legitimate) shops have a used detector section. A good number of detectors are bought with enthusiasm, only to gather dust in a closet.

@@meMiner wow 👏 Thank you very much! It has been driving me a little crazy trying to figure out the right machine and that is when I decided to turn to you and a couple others here on youtube and found very little help and was kinda irritated 🙃 lol, I really appreciate the time you put into your response its what I was expecting in the first response you seem very friendly in all of your videos and seemed like a good person to reach out to, it would be awesome for you to do a video for us new guys, Thank you again and I look forward to seeing more of your videos and chatting with you more as well. 👍🙂

It goes to show that you cannot completely trust the detector in highly mineralized ground and mixed metal rocks. No natural rock is pure. Cobalt gives a relatively low signal and nickel a high signal. Iron, bismuth, foil, junk all add to the complexity. At the end of the day, you cannot dig everything if time and effort are against you.
