Nice Unexpected Nugget

[deathray]

Went out relic hunting with a buddy today. The spot I picked ,the grass was about 3 feet high,making it a pain to swing. We didnt find anything of interest,and by noon he had to leave. I havent swung in a month,and this was my f19's maiden voyage,so I wasnt done. I decided to try a spot nearby that Ive been eyeballing. On the side of the hill,I got a smooth signal,and popped out what I thought was lead...untill I saw some golden glitter! Popped that sucker In my mouth to clean it,lol. I know its average for alot of you guys,but its huge for me,haha. Ray

Nice maiden voyage Ray! With luck like that you'll pay that machine off in no time. Way To Go! Beautiful piece.

That's a nice nugget no matter who you are! 

 

What do you think about the F19? I'm thinking about picking one up too.

Ditto to what Jasong said... nice nugget no matter the size.

[deathray]

Thanks guys! Jasong,only have about 6 hours on it,lol. But I have had a gb pro since they came out...and its basically the same detector. I was told the f19 was deeper,but so far seems same..except it has variable tone break which is a plus for me. Does seem a little more solid/heavier than the gb pro.

There are people saying the F19 has quicker separation in thick trash but I doubt there is any significant difference between the Gold Bug Pro and F19 from a nugget detecting perspective. I like the extra features though and if they ever come out with a black and gold version I may get one.

That is one nice nugget Ray! Anytime the scale is measuring in pennyweights I am a very happy guy myself.

From the looks of that nugget I would be gridding that hillside for sure,, Nice one !

[deathray]

Yes,its very rough Swifty! Charging the gp extreme battery right now,lol.
