Chris Gholson Detects Arizona

[Steve Herschbach]

It’s been a lot of years since I last met Chris. At one time he was very visible in the prospecting world but I think family life caught up with him. Very nice to see him out and about again in this excellent video! Though I barely recognized his new furry look. 

Published on Feb 3, 2019 - “Come join me in the remote goldfields of Arizona as I revisit one my favorite old patches and pull off a few more gold nuggets with my metal detector.”

Yes, Chris is not the baby-face kid anymore...He has a great voice...

I miss his videos with his family...and his Dad...

Good vid. Thanks Steve ?

Great to see that golden grin back out there in front of a camera (so we know he is alive).  Minelab should always be proud of Chris, as back in the early days when Minelab was breaking into the US market his company "AZO" was the prominent business out there sharing Minelab detector knowledge/videos. 

Thanks for sharing.

Maybe he has arthritis or sells all his 7000's or he wanted to play with the 5000...lots of possible reasons...even Adam's.

Of course......a NF Evo coil selling video. What better way to do it.  He would probably sell more NF Evo coils than GPZ 7000's. On another note though, the 14" Zed coil would get into those same places as that 15" Evo coil. Had he been swinging a Zed he may have walked out with 15 nuggets. Now that would have to be a good advert for the Zed.? I don't think the cost of a Zed would be an issue for Chris. Despite family life.

Good luck out there

I am pretty sure Chris has a Zed he is one of the largest Minelab dealers in Arizona and also the North American distributor for NF Coils I believe.  It is debatable if his video is an advert or not, I don't care one way or the other, but what I do know for a fact is that Chris knows how to find gold.

Be safe on that bike of yours those trails look pretty skinny.

   Yes it was good to see his video.  Glad he’s doing them again.  I’ve known Chris and his Dad Steve for more than 20 years, no two better people to know.

Great video Chris.  Thank you for sharing.  Also that is a really good looking pick.  I wonder who makes those.  ?

Yes by all means don't do a video demonstrating the capabilities of accessories, like coils.   We don't really want to see the amazing performance that innovative products give in actual real life circumstances.  We would rather just be fed hype through print advertising that tell us about how the item performs without anything to back it up.

My personal opinion is, the medium of YouTube, with it's plethora of informative videos, has led us all to  be more informed and educated consumers.

I want to know about new innovative products and I am especially excited to actually see them in use doing what they are advertised to do.

So, bottom line, Carry on Chris!

I think the videos great and could care less what detector he was swinging or what coil was attached. I’m also pleased to see Chris is still making the effort to do these sorts of things, I ran out of steam ages ago thanks to continuous negative comments. It takes huge effort to rig up cameras and get video. When your a shop owner the opportunity to get out prospecting is VERY limited, for Chris to take time out of his precious detecting time to generate content to share with others shows a lot of dedication and good luck to him if it generates some interest in his business. There aren’t that many dealers out there who walk the walk, so kudos to him.
