The ground doesn’t give up gold easily. You have to earn it. That’s exactly what Goldfields of Fortune is all about — a one-day detecting challenge that brings the Minelab community together just outside Las Vegas for a shot at something extraordinary:
One hidden gold nugget worth $25,000, and if you’re holding the Gold Monster 2000, you’re in the game.
What Is Goldfields of Fortune?
Goldfields of Fortune is a live, in-the-field detecting event built for serious prospectors. This isn’t a raffle. It’s not a drawing. It’s not luck from a ticket.
It’s real ground. Real detecting. Real gold.
Somewhere in the field lies a single nugget valued at $25,000. Along the way, additional gold nuggets are buried throughout the hunt area — and anything you find, you keep.
It’s skill, patience, and persistence put to the test.
