When 34-year-old Charlie Clarke was feeling down about losing his beloved dog to cancer, he decided to go metal detecting to take his mind off of his loss. Sometimes good things happen at the worst of times, and that's just what happened to Charlie when he uncovered a never before seen early sixteenth-century artifact.

Kevin and Kevin talk about the 2023 Gold Rush in all of the Western Mining States. 
What it is like now and the opportunities that massive rains storms, flooding, and a record snowpack are creating, and how to take advantage now and later on visual prospecting for the best gold recovery seen in over a decade.  

There is a lot that goes into a Miners Recognizing real opportunities and not just in equipment. 
Looking at the ground with fresh eyes offers great opportunities that may be missed if a Prospector puts on the blinders and stays hype focused on only that ground in front of him. 
A Prospector looking for a spot to become a Miner starts with visual prospecting.   

We all have a comfort zone, how we pan, sluice, or detect. It's time to think about the comfort zone and if it has become your rut and how to keep it from hindering your gold recovery. Expand the possibilities with practical ideas to keep you moving forward. 

My dad passed away following a 6 year battle against stage 4 congestive heart failure and colon cancer. He outlived the longest timelines of both terminal diagnoses by at least a year.

This episode is a eulogy written by Everett McConnaughey as well as a life sketch written by his sister Neva McConnaughey.

We promise it's uplifting, inspiring, and positive; but it might make you teary.

One thing Larry always requested was that we never mourn where he died but celebrate where he lived. In lieu of flowers, we'd appreciate donations to help with dedicating a park bench in his honor. He loved the mountains and we could not think of a more perfect way to remember him by then creating a spot we can visit and reflect. Location and details to be determined.  https://everloved.com/life-of/larry-grensing/

Unfortunately, I lost my healthy and fit 78-year-old father to COVID-19 on September 5. My dad, Harry Maddox, was a lifelong traveler and flyer and inspired in me a love for travel and adventure. I share this interview I did with him in August 2020 where I asked him to share his best travel tips and his favorite things he's done while traveling, including swimming with sharks, metal detecting, scuba diving and more. I hope he inspires you as much as he did me! 17-minute mark is where he begins talking about his adventures. Here is a link to the video version if you'd prefer to watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5Hj2tivpTg 

I also want to share with you the full contents of an email I sent to my subscriber list after his death that includes a link to the video version of the interview...

I write to you all this week with great sadness.

In June, I lost my mother to dementia, which was somewhat expected though still very sad, and this past Sunday, I lost my vibrant, healthy, full-of-life 78-year-old dad completely unexpectedly to COVID.

I have a history of travel in my family, as my mother was a Delta flight attendant back in the glamorous age of flying in the 1970s (called "stewardesses" then!), and my dad has been flying since the time I was born, as a manufacturer's representative for sportswear and many related industries over the years, though the two have been divorced since I was 3.

My dad, a lifelong resident of Atlanta, which is the home base of Delta, flew so often that he was even grandfathered in as a "Delta Flying Colonel."

He inspired in me a love of adventure, of trying new things, of believing in myself, of dreaming big and of always striving to keep a positive attitude.

He was my inspiration, a fellow longtime entrepreneur and the person to whom I went for advice on all things.

He was my debate partner and also my cheerleader, compatriot and the best Granddad one could ask for to my 2 boys.

And he loved me unconditionally exactly for who I am - flaws and all! 

This man was a cyclist, a scuba diver, a "treasure hunter"/metal detector (finding 1 of 14 Saxon sceat coins ever!), a hunter, he rafted down the Zambezi River in Africa, swam with sharks and so much more; he was never afraid to do or try anything. As he says in the video below, "Everything for me is an adventure."

Until the time he got sick with COVID just 3 weeks ago, this 78-year-old man was going to spinning class multiple times a week and beating the pants off the younger people beside him. And he worked full-time running his own business until then, as well.

Last August, when visiting him in Atlanta, I recorded this interview between he and I, sharing his best tips for and favorite memories of travel, which I shared within my Families Fly Free membership. But today I want to share it with everyone as a tribute to this great man.

Here is my joyful, loving dad and I in our chat just one year ago...

VIDEO VERSION

One last thing... please consider getting a vaccine if you have not or are not already immune.

My dad chose not to get the vaccine because he was certain his immune system was strong enough to keep him from getting the virus. And he DID have a healthy immune system, rarely ever getting sick, super active and taking vitamins and supplements. If anyone could have fought it off, he could have. And he DIDN'T get the virus for over a year until he did.

He was struggling to breathe within only 3 days of testing positive (we're not sure where he got it), in the hospital 2 days later, on a ventilator 1 day later and never came off of it. It's a testament to the health of his heart and lungs that he survived almost 2 weeks on the ventilator. He had every possible treatment, including Ivermectin, that you can get for COVID, and nothing could stop this awful virus from completely destroying his healthy body.

You just don't know if COVID will affect you like it did him. It's a gamble. I have looked COVID in the eye and I can tell you this is nothing that anyone -- vaccinated or unvaccinated -- wants. From the bottom of my heart, I don't want to see any other individual OR their family have to go through what we are right now.

If you choose not to get the vaccine, please protect yourself in every way you can.

And if you DO get the virus, I want you to know that you can get the FDA-approved monoclonal antibodies right away (many hospitals and locations around the country offer it on an outpatient basis), that you should keep a close eye on your oxygen levels and go to the hospital the SECOND you begin struggling to breathe, because you need to try to stop any damage to your lungs ASAP. This virus also directly attacks your kidneys, which I did not realize. We were just too late on all of this for my dad, but now we know, and I want you to know, too in the hopes it can save some lives.

God bless you all and please stay healthy and safe. Hug your family today!

If you had asked me in 2004 if there was a good cross over detector for gold and CRT, I'd said no. Today not so much so. There are a few viable X-over detectors out there but make sure you are choosing what you need. DO not go detecting wondering if you made the right choices especially when your in the field. That is not the time to be questioning your detector.
THIS IS A NEW Podcast. Sorry for the confusion in the episode numbering,  Mr. zero and one's Producer had his zero and one sensibility rattled that I changed the episode number to match the QT and not the layout. :-) He won.   

Lots of questions about trusting factory presets over creating hunt programs from the start. I have some pretty strong opinions about this topic and I have seen a lot of new Detectorists make a few mistakes in setup over go with. 
 Sorry for those of you that came back thinking this is another Podcast. The Mr. zero and one's Producer had his zero and one sensibility rattled that I changed the episode number to match the QT and not the layout. :-) He won. 

Heading back to Alaska with Professional Prospectors Chris Ralph and my Producer Kevin Bell. Join us as we sit down with Kib Canyon, owner & operator of Gold King Creek Alaska Mine and Adventures for a long but informative podcast. 
You can also watch the Webcast on the Gold Trails YouTube channel at goldtrailstv.  If you haven't been to Alaska give it some thought and join Chris, Kevin, and I for 2 weeks in the middle of nowhere where the gold is plentiful but you still have to work for the shinny in the pan.

Hey Prospectors,  
It's been a while. Over the last few months, we have received a huge amount of great email questions about everything. KB and I decided to take a lot of these and turn as many of these as we can into short-format Podcasts to help you become a better Prospector and Miner.  This quick tip talks about those elusive detector signals that May be either VDI or Audio and why is it is important not to trust just one or the other. 
If you would like to watch the Webcast it will be available after 1/12/2021 on the Gold Trails TV YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5_w1T9VRTnF88GDGGJQBgA 
Please like, subscribe, and ring that bell. There will be a lot of visual tips on the Webcast.  

Over four decades ago I stood on a ridge overlooking a huge Desert and suddenly felt overwhelmed. I had only been out a few times on my own and honestly, they were not the most successful trips I had made. 
I decided to create a box in my mind's eye with compartments and each compartment was a step to the end goal of mining all the while building confidence. These steps have saved me hundreds if not thousands of hours aimlessly wandering looking for gold, over getting on the gold with less effort. 
Today the box is a spreadsheet and before going from one the next, it has to be checked off and complete. 
There is a sense of pure accomplishment when you work a plan and it ends in not just gold but really really good gold measured in dollars per yard over specks in a pan. 

In this episode I sit down with Brian Clunie who goes by The Mainley Digger. Brian has an incredible YouTube channel that focuses on the history of Maine and finding cool artifacts.  If you love history and Maine you will want to see this episode and check out his YouTube channel.

What prompted this podcast is that I'm often asked if I believe in paydirt, and yes I do. I occasionally get in the mood for a bag or two and it all adds up. Sometimes in only fluctuating my cost per ounce up. When that happens, I mine. 

For decades I have kept expenses vs.return logs. These logs have helped (and sometimes  driven) me to be a better Prospector and Miner. 

I'ts works for me, hopefully you will use some of the processes I share to lower your overall cost per ounce, even when buying paydirt. 

My gold cost today 5/2/2020 average is $351.00 per troy ounce, what's your gold cost? 


S2:E6

Kevin Bell gives a big "Thank You" to a prospector for not prospecting and leaving some of the best gold that they have found on their Thursday Mining Day under his tailings. 
Of course, this leads to training about trending, $$$ per yard, visual prospecting above and below the ground level and the failings of us old-timers for letting new prospectors follow some of the rules of thumb. 
 S2: E5

In December 2019 Kevin and I shared the prospecting that you could do within the 300-foot buffer in selected California waterways. This time we open up the rest of the land with the opportunities awaiting all prospectors at 301 feet. 
Along with offering tips on maximizing your gold recovery when and where drawing water is not the best option for recovery.
