Nugget Secrets #1 DVD
with Jack Lange
This video features detector expert Jack Lange on a nugget detecting trip to Queensland, Australia. The video shows Jack using the Minelab SD2000 and SD2100 detectors in the search for gold. Although Minelab owners will find this information particularly interesting, the vast majority of what you can learn from this video is not about specific detectors. Jack explains how to read whether the ground has been detected before, and how to tell how good a job was done. He expains the importance of determining the depth to bedrock and how to do so. Various rocks that indicate gold may be nearby are discussed and shown. A few sequences show some of those large Australian being unearthed! The last portions use the Minelab XT17000 to explain how VLF detectors differ from the Minelab SD series, and how to best employ them for success.
