madtuna Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Hit the same spot again today for another 20 grams so 81.2 grams for about 4 days detecting over the last week or so. I can smell a big chunk hiding there somewhere...I'll find the bugger sooner or later. Time to sodomize the spot with the 19" I think, the flat 8 gram piece was down 15" 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you swinging that, or somebody else. If it were you was it over an area you had run the 7000? Good luck out there mate & watch out for those border jumpers heading on over. They will be stalking you. JW Hi JW, that was me swinging it. I am chaining and cross chaining this area with both machines. The 5000 is wearing the NF 15" EVO. I'm yet to put on the 18" but will. I took two friends with me yesterday one with a 2300 and one with a 5000 with a 12" NF EVO. The 2300 got a further 19 bits for 2.5 grs and the 5000 got 3 bits for 1.4 grs. At mid day, the 5000 swapped to a Coiltek 14" Elite but found nothing further. The 2300 is mopping up signals which often the 7000 is hearing but I just cant seem to locate in the cracks in the bed rock or am burying when digging them out, plus targets the 7000 just doesn't see. This area ideally needs a 2300, a 5000, a 7000 plus a sluice and a dry blower! (and a bob cat) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madtuna Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hi Mike, not quite on the piddle patch but about 350 to 400 yards away so possibly an extension of it with a gap in between. Scratching my head trying to work out where it's coming from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodgold2 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Hi Steve, looks like ya got a sweet spot mate just love when you hit a spot that you spend days just pinging nuggets everywhere. Good luck mate, hope it runs for longer than 200 meters or leads you to a shallow shed. Cheers Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
