First Gold Of 2018

[Gerry in Idaho]

You guys are driving me nuts with all those 2018 finds.  Each of you I envy in so many ways.

Here is what I have found since going out.

[Steve Herschbach]

Not normally something to post about but since you all started it up - my first nuggets of 2018, a whole 0.7 grams of gold. Just 30.4 grams to go for my first ounce! 

Actually a little surprising to me how many people have already been out and found gold in the first week of the year.

Steve,

The question MUST be ... which detector?

Ill jump on board.  Happy New Year's everyone!  Thanks again for a great forum.  I was busy for the past month out of town and lasted one day back before I was out detecting at the old spot.  So here it is, year to date with the faithful lobo.  P.s I ordered an Equinax 800...powerful vlf,  waterproof...you know...good luck out there!

I got out this weekend a bit and moved a little sand and managed to get this.....

About 2.5 grain I am guessing I'll weigh it after it dries.

Got it dried and a whopping 1.86 grain for playing on the beach for a couple hours....
