Tailgate Talk - Gold Prospecting Advice From Steve Herschbach

[phrunt]

This Tailgate Talk brings us to the Australian Outback with Detector Prospector, Steve Herschbach. Steve shares his tips and the success he has had over his 50 years of gold prospecting.  Everything said in the video makes a lot of sense, totally agree.  I had the help from JW that gave me the shortcut to finding gold and giving me the confidence.  A huge shortcut to success.  That's where the training courses would help people too I guess.    The old saying the first one is the hardest is really true.

Love the video.  Many great tips and he is dead on with this comments and I can factually back up at the 5:20 mark as KEY.. it will save you many trips, wasted fuel and worn out tires.  But so many actually try for a year or 2 and on occasion even longer with not much gold to show for.  Be wise my friends.

 I recall an old fella/dinosaur way back answered this new chums question "Where is it?" he simply put an arm out pointing and did a complete revolution. I reckoned then he was leading me astray, but I know now he nailed it. Steves not leading you astray folks, follow his tailgate simple message.

To which the guru answered,,,,,

Thanks for posting the tailgate conversation Simon, thoroughly enjoyed it. I felt very comfortable with how it was presented, and listening to sensible, experienced comments. ? Perhaps periodic tailgate discussions about a variety of detector-prospector topics might serve as a beneficial format for future presentations. It might prove very popular with both newcomers and experienced hobbyists.

PS: Finally able to post again Simon. Thanks for your much earlier message... doing just fine.

Jim.

Thanks for posting this video and I have bookmarked it so I can refresh my memory from time to time when I get a chance to get out there.

Thanks for the kind comments. Garrett has been doing the Tailgate Talks for a couple years, and mine was just the latest of many. It was fun, just sit with Steve Moore and BS for a few minutes. There was no script or even a plan, we just sat down and talked in a single take. I’m used to doing live radio and this was no different really. That was the last of the video I’ve shot with Garrett in the last year so a wrap for me.
