Goldieheaven Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hi gold hound Thanks for your program , its a cracker and thought I would share a story with you. While laid up with a torn hamstring I was searching for a good program for my ctx3030 and came across yours , so I installed it with the intension of using it on an old Chinese gold mining area. Once I could walk again I was busting to try it out so I went to a local oval for a quick test. I normally just hunt parks and ovals for coins so my test area I had already hunted out the $1 & $2 coins but it's also trashy , so perfect to test this program. I kid you not within 15 minutes a had a very clear signal 8 cm down so I dug it. Man I could not believe that within 15 minutes I found a 18ct gold Ring. A week later an elderly man approached me on the Oval and asked if my machine could pick up gold. I told him the story about the 18ct ring. He was impressed and asked if I could help him with finding his 22ct wedding ring that he lost 20 years ago. I agreed to help him out and meet up last Saturday to have a look. He had lost his ring while throwing some wood on a bonfire during a cracker night and thought it went into the fire. There was heaps of trash in the area so I switched to your gold program, 20 minutes later and only 5 cm down I had a clear signal , couldn't believe it as it was his ring. He was a very happy man. 2 gold rings in 3 outings. I have not tested it yet on the gold fields but will report back when I have. So thanks again.

Goldieheaven Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Goldiheaven I am in Canberra /Australia but sometimes go to central NSW to a family property. Why do you ask ? I am a newbie at this and was impressed by what you have gotten from ovals. And how do you get away with digging up the ovals? Im from Adelaide.

starvin1374 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Thanks. Sporting ovals are high volume traffic with a higher chance of dropped coins , lawns are like miners moss for $1 &$2 coins and normally hidden very near the surface. Set your detector to a very low sensitivity (cuts out irrigation pipes) and start detecting, you learn very quickly the correct signal for each coin. When I have a good signal(8cm or less) I use my pointer to find the exact location and then pop the coin out with a flat head screw driver , if my pointer cannot find the signal then i leave it. If I am unsure of the signal I leave it while on ovals. I don't use a digger on public ovals and always repair any disruption to the surface. Hence you can not tell that I have even been there. My personal strategy is that I go out at first light and detect away from any general public , the soil is normally moist for easier extraction of coins and return home by 9am(as my children and wife are waking up). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldieheaven Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Wow, great thinking. Unfortunately I am the wife, so I wouldn't get away with that one. Once my feet hit the ground I'm tending to husband and child. Anyway thanks for the tips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
