Cool find, gives me some hope my TDi  may yet find a nugget.

What were your settings?

I was using it flat out, full gain and pulse delay at 10 with GB off for searching, very little mineralisation, then when a target was found I was checking with GB on and only digging low conductors as there are tons of hot rocks about.

I have had quite a few since, lost count actually. Since I finally gave in and got me a Nox, my find rate has gone through the roof over my Tdi. Here is my biggest so far.

Thanks for the reply Ringmoney. 🍀  That is a beautiful nugget.  :nugget:

Which Nox did you get? :minelab:

When I look at that nugget I can see that we have failed a bit at our job here of telling people how to 'safely' find nuggets in different parts of the world.  The lesson about removing your thumb 👍 before you swing and strike with a pick ⛏️ must be repeated.  Just take your time and don't get so excited🤩 when you see the Nox numbers on gold next time.  The nugget can wait for your fingers to get out of the way.  🎷

Irish 🇮🇪 gold rush to follow.  (There won't be any prospectors left in New Zealand 🇳🇿 after they see that post!) :ph34r:

The 800 of course, no prospecting mode on the 600.

Lol you didn't see the others, the head of a 11kg pneumatic calking gun blew off and mashed them up against a stainless blade. On my knees with the pain for about 30min with the pain before I could even look at them, sore is not the word.
