Tools of the Trade - A Nugget Hunter Goes Coin Shooting

My beloved metal detector and I have chased gold across every corner of Australia, all over the western United States, and through the jungles of central and South America.
As much as I love to go prospecting, it just isn’t something I can do year round living in Arizona. The deserts are incredibly harsh in the summer months and, if a person is unprepared, a simple scouting trip could easily result in a life or death situation.
