Walker Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 This is one I got with the 7000 last year. Everything has to be just right to pick one up these up. I am sure I walk over pounds of them so I can find one. I am sure that Kiwijw can beat it though. I think he has found pounds of these. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtman Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 All that GMT gold was with the factory stock elliptical not a smaller round. Supertuning the GMT is and was it was all about. Once you learned that nuggets rolled in, many larger ones also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will add that our ground is insanely mild, as I do bang on about. But it is a HUGE factor to my "success" as it allows me to crank all my detectors up to full max sensitivity. Ok...some times that is a bit ratty but I am able to deal with that & with a trained ear still get the signals that matter. Sorting the wheat from the chaff. Gold Monster gold. Found some sluice pipes. scratching a round here.... Got me these A collection of Gold Monster gold from one of my locations Collection of Zed gold from the same location. Generally a bit bigger & wayyyyy deeper. Playing mountain goat. Using the GM 1000 as a hiking pole. GB2 under my arm. Note sluice face top right. This was walking back down from the place in the picture below this one. Detecting a high shelf way above the present day river. Loving that bedrock. Loving more bedrock From this area.... Got these Off this bedrock And out of this crevice got this... From here out of the old timer piles got these 5. From more bedrock THE END: I need a coffee. Round 2 will be the GB2. But not tonight. Cheers Best of luck out there JW Great pictures JW! All that tiny gold sniffed out, amazing!! Love seeing a bit of your neck of the woods too. All the best, Lanny 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 My neck of the woods, up close to 7000 ft. elevation. (Two pack mules of the hydrocarbon variety in the background.) Bottom, slightly left of centre, pretty tiny, can't recall the weight, Gold Bug Pro. (A dime is a dime is a dime in US and Canada, same size for comparison.) Smallest pieces here, sub-gram, all nuggets found with Minelab X-Terra 705, a somewhat interesting machine that if you go low and slow enough in ground that's producing nuggets, it just might surprise you as it did me with the tiny stuff it would find with the DD coil (the tiny stuff was extremely close to the surface however).

Steve Herschbach Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I have found nuggets weighing under 1/10th grain (1/4800th Troy Ounce) with at least a dozen different detector models. I get stuff that weighs less (my digital powder scales only go down to a tenth grain) and so I honestly don't know about anything under that. It's not worth it to me to get a scale accurate enough to weigh gold I used to toss back in the creek when gold panning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geof_junk Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 This is the smallest my mate got that I know he detected, but whether he got any other nuggets is unknown as he left the area.? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
