Recommended Posts

OK...I'm bored as the snow keeps piling up!!!  I remember reading a thread on one of these forums, which I can't remember which one, but somebody posted some very small bits he'd gotten with I believe a Gold Monster(?).  Anyways....one of the replies posted was from a person who couldn't and wouldn't believe a detector could find gold that tiny.  Soooo.... just for fun lets see some pics of your smallest bits and what detector you got them with???  Mine below were got with the Monster.....

I find a lot of specks that  just barely weigh 1dwt. they're kind of a pain because it takes about 20 of them before they add up to anything.  What can I say. It's winter, It's storming and I'm grumpy.

 Many times while cleaning out a crevasse with numerous small nuggets I will find a speck that is unweighable - but I keep them anyway.

Well Mr. Lunk….  I'd truly wish I was down there in the sunny warmth swinging rather than shoveling and plowing!!  Thanks for the pics and good luck down there!!!!!!  But then again, my couch is getting a good workout this winter...…..and I'm kinda OK with that too!...lol

PS...my oldest Merc(s) would be 4 maybe 5 (?) of the 1916's but none the coveted 1916 D (sigh)……..
