Tyler Mahoney revealed her long history of gold mining in the famed red dirt of Western Australia when she took Parker Schnabel out into the vast terrain while searching for gold. Luckily, Mahoney didn't disappoint and led Parker to some pretty good scores.

Continuing her tips about staying observant, Mahoney writes:

"Geology changes, contact zones, vegetation changes, rock types. Note what you see, note where the old boys were working, and note in which cases you are finding gold. Reading the ground like this will give you so much information about the gold in that area and how to follow it! This ability is one of the differences between someone using a metal detector and a prospector!"
