Dave,

What is that big 'rock' on the back of the quad?

Gold?

So Veronica is running the GPZ and 8"  you're running the GPX, now I get it.  She's done well to keep up with you on the small gold with her using the smaller coil and having less ground coverage.  You two make a good gold getting team!  Some good photos too.

continued on with the patch in the first post first picture, it has given up a total of 105 bits of gold now for 14.4 grams.

Four part days detecting it, today was 5 and 1/2 hours for 43 bits of gold which weighed in at 5.4 grams, and it was a much more pleasant day as the very strong winds from the last few days have gone.

A few pictures from today

 

 

you can see the settings I am running on this type of ground and the detector is running nicely

 

and todays result, 43 bits of gold for 5.4 grams, the gold is small but it is gold

moved to a new camp site and just detected within walking distance of the van today (few hundred meters') just about 5 grams between the two of us.

And yes the 7000's with x-coils have been over this ground last year as well and there are still some tiny bits of gold there for the 6000

The camp site

 

Veronica out detecting with the gpx6000

some more little bits of gold for the 6000 in amongst last years old detector holes from the 7000 which was using the 17x12 spiral x-coil

 

17 tiny nugglets

Another new/old patch, again  today, a good day 7 grams for the 6000 today was a good effort, started on a new/old patch this morning and ended with 7 grams

The specie has just a fraction over 2 grams in it according to the SG test and it was fairly deep right down under a salt bush
