After watching a few videos and hearing many stories of volcanic nuggets am thinking of giving it a try ..Any thoughts on what detector to use ?? What i seen and heard the nuggets are in the 5 oz to kilo size i guess 1 oz would be small size . The depth with there $100 detector was about 6" to 12" what i seen . In some areas where am at high freq VLF are worthless due to iron in the soil .. Am guessing the machines they are using look to be VLF in the 5 to 10 khz range with 8" coils ... Any thoughts would be helpful

The Taal volcano rush was from +10 years ago the problem there is getting a metal detector on the boat ....2 women from UK were told to go there by there father and search.... you take a boat out in the crater lake to the center there a island ...the reason i know this is true because the philippine government wanted the nuggets back because they broke the laws here it was in the news here

These fake and or stupid videos..... what do people make off them a few $ a month or is it a tourist scam to rent hotels and sell metal detectors and shovels ....I hope the makers of those nugget videos realize they will make many philippine children go hungry that right ......ive been to a few mining sites and these miners make less then $3 a day .....Your scams will cause more hardships for them

I compared this map of volcanoes in the Philippines PHILIPPINE MAP OF VOLCANOES - CHAN ROBLES VIRTUAL LAW LIBRARY ...to a old US map of gold locations in the Philippines ...there so many volcanoes here but what i did notice the islands like bohol have neither gold or volcanoes ...Its possible that a area with lots of volcanoes increases the odds of gold but who knows for sure what i seen it seems that 10 -20 million years ago these volcanoes pushed the ocean floor up to the surface some 20,000 to 40,000 feet in some places you can see the layers of the ocean floor.... and all the vent materials i checked are low density like copper chloride ....I guess am just wasting my time because what i seen its all luck in finding gold here

I can drive 3 hours and be smack dab in the middle of all kinds of volcanic eruptions, one place of interest might be the 400-500 feet thick lava flows lol. I wonder if there's nuggets in them there flows ?

I think they have to be thrown up in the air to be a volcanic nugget

edit: what am I (not) thinking - lava nuggets (the puffy ones)

After reading this ..https://www.goldrushnuggets.com/govousgetofi.html ...And learning there 6 types of eruptions i guess anything possible and i also notice on a earth time scale am at a very young place above water that has a 5 billion year old cover to it ...who really knows everyone has theories and just theories but most of the videos are fake or staged ...

British Twins Finds Gold Nuggets and Other Treasures in Taal Lake, Batangas, Philippines - CitiesTips.com................ this is the only link i found and am not sure if its the same story about Taal because the video won't play but it proves shadow banding to me

just start researching areas where they are mining gold. then work on researching what they were finding locally.. hard rock? free milling? Placer etc

The only mine here on the island am on is a open pit copper mine that was closed down in the 90s ...It far from the big nugget that was found ....I think its what smokey said or it got blasted out or its from outer space but i believe it was deposited there in the last couple of thousand years not millions or billions ...To me close to the surface in normal loose soil and the bedrock down a few feet and i watched miners dig many holes in this area

What makes you think the golden beard media videos are fake? I am very sure I know where this is, as I have been there on duty with the New Zealand navy, and the place is Very well known for gold... And volcanoes.

This volcano he is trying to find is formed on the continental fault line and has major previous gold mining activity elsewhere on the island, both North and South


Plus, don't go to Taal right now, it's erupting!

Because the gold shown in all the videos is obviously not real!?

Having ton sized gold nuggets (molten) fall from the sky would make the disaster movies much more fun!
Not quite a ton but I believe that this is volcanic.
