The old timers would be happy with that source over 30 ounces to the ton. 🤑

Simon I just got some NZ cash yesterday, I did not get any coins so what does the new NZ coins look like. 

                                                                      🙃

Wow nearly ½ ounce in a day from those teeny, weeny NZ nuggets. I think they weigh more than Simon pesky little bastard pellets... 😀

Back in the days of Whites 6000 and Garrett ADS you did not know how to detect on the gold fields unless you could detect one of those pesky little bastard pellet. Once you could you did not waste your time on them and concentrate on ounce plus nuggets. 

                                                                        🤣

This one I found with Reese this summer. Im gonna call it Smaug's Tongue

Your hands show you deserve it.

A 1937 recovery by GhostMiner caught on video. Just kidding but it is buried treasure. The video is good from start to finish but have set it to start at the chest section if liked you can start at the start.

Always an impressive display of finds. 👍

DITTO.    👍

The Yarra river flows through the heart of Melbourne an interesting Video of gold history area.

My backup is the wife detector when I can get away with it. Some times I have to pick a spot that she dislikes to get her detector, or wait till she had enough exercise with it. 😉 

Well the next step for you Luke is get the rest of the false teeth. The ones in the photo were found by my wife's deceased brother at a beach in Queensland Australia where he got over 300 gold rings but he did leave me over 50 gold rings to find at the site.

Well you can't win them all. 😭

The advantage of being on a good forum are well shown, with the replies you have received.

Just take "NOTE" in RUBBISH AREAS depth is not importance but ID is the name of the game. When you get a signal lift your coil till you get a sound that is distinct at a low volume that is not iffy (this will reduce/remove ground effect and allow more accurate reading). Take note of the ID reading and dig the target, doing this will build up a human data base (yours) of the signals that are the ones you want. Hope this helps and don't think the best detector wins it's the best user that does.

IronDigger don't split up the FAMILY.😁

That's an absolute beauty Geof.

She did come up quite pretty after she got her warm tender bath in Hydrochloric acid. 😍

Well your favourite nugget is like your favourite child but here goes. It's not my biggest specimen 3½ Kilo rock that yielded ½ Kilo of gold when dollied. It's not my biggest solid nugget that was about 6 Ounces that was sunbaking.  It's not my first nugget over an ounce weighing 4 ounces but he came close as the wife was well past her 1 ounce plus for some time, and that stop the ragging I got for that. If I had to pick one it would be this dual Gold and Tungsten specimen about  the size of an Aus. 10¢ piece. 

Good to see your dirty gold before they get a respectable wash. Well done and those new to the game  should take note of the size of them and concentrate on a suitable coil size to find them.

Now that is what I call a SOLID ring, well done. 😍

You can't get a better answer than that. Well done. 🦸

Compass 33.3 grams of Silver (Ag) that means you have set the target at over an ounce for the Gold (Au) so get out there and achieve your new target. 🤑

It is the second ring from above.  13k by spectral analysis

Sorry mate I meant the one that the sun glasses are siting on. Both of your gold rings look nice and solid.

mn90403 what is that big yellow ring, don't say it is 24ct 😉

OK It is more "light green" as you said.

This guy is very stupid, the Eastern Brown snake is one of the worst snakes to be on the wrong side off. They will chase you at a rate faster than a quick walk pace. I was in a situation where I had to step on the head of one of them to save an old lady that I was escorting to her mail box a ¼ Mile from her house . (hell she was about 15 years younger than I am now? 😁) Any way watch this idiot but remember some of us get old and stupid.😟

That is a big chunk of gold out of my inventory for the year but it was only a piece of gold to me, it was 16 years of memories for him.   

You had the thrill of finding it as well as the enjoyment of making someone extremely happy. I am sure MIDAS will reward you soon.

That seem to add up to  what a dealer told me.  

They have no minimum sale price (in the shop) on any of their Garrett detectors.
