Just a Bit of Gold From the Golden Triangle

[G.B.]

Some photo's and a couple of Video's

 

Just thought I'd show a few 2014 - 2015, finds a mate, Gully Hunter and I have detected in the Golden Triangle Victoria, Australia. We both run GPX 4500's.

 

The terrain is fairly rugged scrub.The first 2 photo's were from the last quarter of 2014 basically from near impossible scrub, one step forwards 2 steps backwards, more time spent fighting the scrub than detecting.  

 

This one was 19.5 inches deep and was 14 grams found by Gully Hunter.

15 grammer before and after a clean

16 grammer.

A nice 6 grammer

Guardian of the gold and a 4.8 grammer

Took an old mate Bill out a he shows us how it's done. 24 grammer GPX 4000

Earlier 4 grammer video

Great pictures, was there for a few weeks a couple of years ago but never found anything like these, keep it up.

Thanks Mugsy, The gold is still there, but you have to put in the time and persistence, a couple of areas we were about to move on from but decided to give one final look and all of a sudden it starts giving up the gold.

 

Added a couple of video's to check out.

Thanks Mate

l reckon it's nearly as good as it gets but I've always been fascinated by your side of the creek, so many different states with so many landscapes you would never see them all in a lifetime.

Gb; the grass always looks greener....blah blah....

I have been fortunate to go to Oz three times and see many parts of Oz...all wonderful, but I liked Western Oz best of all.

 

very nice gold, do you have a pic of all the trash you dug too?

Most of this gold was found on virgin areas away from the diggings and in fairly inaccessible terrain so trash was at a minimum and non existent on some patches

Welcome to the forum G.B.

I sure enjoyed Australia, the land and the people, when I visited there. Just an amazing place. Thanks for posting!

Thanks Steve, I've only detected in the Golden Triangle, plans to detect WA had to be put on hold for awhile, but I will get there one day,

First , thanks for sharing your finds and the video was great! I noticed you also use the Detech coil, I have the 15x11 E Mono on and I am very satisfied with it. What size Detech coil did you have on when you found the 15 gram piece down 19 inches or so?
