- jiggawatts 4y agoAt one point the YouTube algorithms decided that what I wanted to watch was people prospecting for gold nuggets in the Australian outback. One team simply walked over a large open area with a metal detector and found a few thousand dollars worth of nuggets. What occurred to me was that this could be automated without too much difficulty. Make an all-terrain electric buggy drone and have it do passes back-and-forth automatically. Look for nuggets with an integrated metal detector.
