  1. She did come up quite pretty after she got her warm tender bath in Hydrochloric acid. 😍
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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. 🤑
  5. Sorry mate I meant the one that the sun glasses are siting on. Both of your gold rings look nice and solid.
  6. mn90403 what is that big yellow ring, don't say it is 24ct 😉 OK It is more "light green" as you said.
  7. 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.😟
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. To compare undisturbed targets it is hard to decide the method of operation. If there is many undug targets in the selected area it is a bit easier than finding a known target and testing it against the second detector that knows it there. The first one did not have that advantage. When I compare detectors and coils, I detect till one is found and mark it then use the other unit till it finds another one and so on till time runs out. Then compare all the signals with both units for comparison. The reason that I did it this way was I found nuggets that the mate had gone over fairly carefully and missed them, but could detect it when he knew something was there.
  11. Are the gold in colour like some we have here in Aus. 😁
  12. Jason do you have " Single Wire Earth Return " (SWER) Power Lines in your area They were used in remote areas here in Victoria Aus. to distribute house and farm power, if so that could be your problem.
  13. Release date Australia...........Release date September 2022 https://www.garrettaustralia.com.au/axiom-wireless-package
  14. Don't they release them just after a good find and just before vacation time ( school) ☺️
  15. When the handle is replaced get one with the wood grain orientated on the same plane as the pick head. It is the strongest for hitting and levering out the target. The photo above shows that it spit along the grain that was at 90º to the pick head orientation.
  16. The $1 & $2 coins are removed from Carol heap and go in mine. Tony the total that you have to be counted is some where between 100 and 50 coins so that is not problem like the 2000+ that had to be counted by the bank machine.
  17. Well Carol only got a third of a $1000 but the machine I used took an hour too. The computer keep crashing and would only take a maximum of 400 coins. The bank employer was get mad at the machine and was very happy when it was all over. ☹️
  18. Be aware that the pressure will build up with temperature changes. Different temperature In the sun, in the water, in the car with the windows shut on a sunny day will change the pressure in the coil so a vent is required.
  19. Update Coins cashed in today. The machine total $333.15 from 2137 (copper/nickel coins) fake silver coins. 50¢ = 231 coins value $115.50 20¢ = 635 coins value $127.00 10¢ = 602 coins value $60.20 5¢ = 669 coins value $33.50
  20. Join Geotech forum https://www.geotech1.com/forums/forum.php you will find heaps of information and members that get into design of detecting concepts.
  21. Note: No lip on dish but he keeps his gold. ....Panning Lesson...
  22. Why do you guys want to come to Aussyland, there is enough gold in the USA, so leave our gold alone. 🤑
