  • Metal Detectorist Finds Record Breaking Gold Nugget at Abandoned Gold Mine!
    I could not believe the amount of gold I found in this abandoned gold mine! my metal detector went off on a huge target and what I dug up was a once in a lifetime gold specimen bigger than any I had found detecting before.

    since this video chris has moved into the mine he found on a second visit whist searching through the discarded quartz. He has currently been recovering gold for 15days straight and recovered enough gold that he made a small shrine to the mysterious lucky bug. He is currently working on a solid gold doggo house for fern.
