This gentleman has multiple videos showing him finding nuggets of all shapes and sizes in multiple unnamed locations. My question is ...is this land government land? Public land? The outback? Or most likely private? It appears to be desolate desert with nothing around for miles. Certainly he is sweating a bit but it doesn't seem like its super hard work once he locates them. Any of you Aussies know where he is detecting?





He has about 30 videos and pretty much all like these... nice nuggets, sometimes just lying on the ground! :o

Boy, he must know just where to find 'em. It looks like it could be the end of an old dry wash or something but it's hard to tell. Can you believe it? That's the way it used to be here in the old days, stuff just lying on the ground.

What exactly and where exactly is the "Outback"? Not being an Aussie, I have of course heard the term thrown around alot but have no exact idea of where it is or who owns the property, if anyone or anything does own it. Is it public land?

Did a bit of research and that ground certainly looks like "The Red Center" of the Outback east of Alice Springs... :read2:

the outback is half of the country.......desolate areas,desserts,unpopulated,middle of nowhere, it's a very broad term.

Government owned, could also be native title land .... in that case, you would want to be like your little picture :)

From what I have gathered you cant just,show up and get after it.Anything thats not private is "claimed",and heavily protected?
