The only thing that would be better if they were full of spirits.

My doc sent me to a specialist to check up on a tiny growth he said it was minor but found another that need looking at after Easter. Maybe all this gold prospecting in the sun is trying to catch up with me.

Jim B it not a strong design the waist should be much larger like mine to stop it from breaking.😁

With you all the way but I like to get at least half of the 1000 flysh!t

I hope they release it before the GPX-6000.

I have found a couple of spot that they frequent and got more than a dozen sunbakers at each location. I was unlucky, as hard as I tried could not see any Plumas Kwail that alone catch one or a pair to breed but will try next April if it the first thing I will do.

I bet Simon and JW have a couple each.😀

In 1966 the round fifty cent was introduced at 80% silver. The price of silver stopped it in the end.

Only an Aussie could pull this one off! A true story from the Mount Isa in Queensland. Recently a routine Police patrol car parked outside a local neighbourhood pub. Late in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the car park for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five vehicles. The man managed to find his car, which he fell into. He was there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine dry night). Then flicked the indicators on, then off, tooted the horn and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few cm, reversed a little and then remained stationary for a few more minutes as some more vehicles left. At last he pulled out of the car park and started to drive slowly down the road. The Police officer, having patiently waited all this time, now started up the patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and carried out a random breathalyser test. To his amazement the breathalyser indicated no evidence of the man's intoxication. The Police officer said "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the Police station - this breathalyser equipment must be broken." "I doubt it," said the man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy". Do you have a designated drive (not decoy) system in USA.

Now that is a keeper and in good shape irrespective of it value, it a good talking piece.

If you hit a large virgin patch you will find most worthwhile nuggets you will get are in the 0.1 to 1.0gms range. in most of the area you cover this will be the case, but you may get a few bit ranging from double number gm to multi ounce bits but they are easily heard till you hit deeper ground. At this stage a bigger coil is the way to go. As Lunk said using a double DD coil in pseudo-monoloop will really help in cleaning up tiny bits. I have used this method many times when I was too lazy to go back to the 4WD for a smaller coil. Note when pinpointing in this mode the centre of the signal will be on the side and centre of the transmit coil, the same goes with using the edge of the coil it is on the transmit side also.

The first one that Joe showed is great I have used mine for years when bushwalking. It was more than great for digging holes for toilet use in all ground type. The titanium is super.

Digging tools can be heavy also. Consider a custom or self made digger from a light material. Duralumin is used in aircrafts/aeroplanes because it is stronger as compared to steel and also for the fact that it is lighter in weight. A source could be found from a wrecked plane.

Gold facts/information Quote then add your facts A cubic centimetre of gold weight 19.3 grams A cubic inch weight is 10 ounces Gold is Au and silver is Ag Atomic n° of gold is 79 (Au79) Silver is a better conductor of heat and electricity than gold but gold does not oxidize. Gold is soft, dense, malleable, ductile Gold is malleable enough for just 1 gram to be hammered into a sheet 1 square meter in size. The melting point of Gold is 1,064.43°C (1,947.97°F). 100% of gold found naturally is isotope Au-197. 187,000 metric tons historically produced plus current underground reserves of 57,000 metric tons) gold is “diamagnetic”, meaning that it can be repelled by a magnetic field, but cannot form a permanent magnet. United States. Tonnes: 8,133.5 in 2020 China. Tonnes: 1,948.3 The first Gold coins appeared around 700 BC. An ounce can be beaten out to 187 square feet (about 17 square metres) 1870s until World War I the gold standard was the basis for the world’s currencies. Gold was the international monetary system, it came to an end by the 1970s Gold occurs mostly in the native state, except with tellurium, selenium, and bismuth.

Alaska's gain our lost Paul. Here in Victoria the worst hit by covid19 in Aust. compared to a lot of Country we were lucky but not for the old ones in nursing homes. To-day Victoria has had 2 incubations free of Covid (24 day with no case in the state). The wife and I got the virus shot in the first roll out yesterday for the non essential health workers etc. Aust. is on the way to being immuned with the vaccine in a few months, so keep some leave up your sleeve as Alaska is not suitable for thongs.😀

If it is the same size then it specific gravity is 15.2 gram/centimeter cubed. So my guess is it has more volume than a real ingot. Density of pure metals in that range. 13.67 g/cc Americium Am 95 14.78 g/cc Berkelium Bk 97 15.1 g/cc Californium Cf 98 15.4 g/cc Protactinium Pa 91 16.65 g/cc Tantalum Ta 73 18.95 g/cc Uranium U 92 19.32 g/cc Gold Au 79 However lets have some hope/fun as 18K yellow D (0.752 gold, copper, silver, zinc, silicon gold has a density of 15.2 and a melt temp of 1520°F. So what are you going to do.😬

JR one of those two coils is a bucking coil which counteract the transmitting coil. Have anyone tested the coil in mono mode and what the results are.

How did it size compare to the real thing.

F350 I live in a rural area. I found that there is some hidden gems to be found by looking at old parish/shire maps. They show old schools, churches, horse race tracks, town common, picnic grounds and small hamlets that have been lost to history. Some of my maps showed up small farms and their homes, and water wells that have been shallowed up by bigger farms and no visual signs of them. Hope this gives you some help in identifying and pinpointing your opportunities.

Note the field shown is the receive RX field how ever the transmit TX signal also has an effect on the responds of the coil and pinpointing.

I like the two of the same, that way if your breaks you can use hers without learning another machine. Remember to tell hers, that her detector is better than yours and go deeper. That way you can save face when she get more targets (gold) than you. 😁

It does not need to be a member to read this forum or most others. A small minority of "Greens" do check gold, shooting and hunting forums so they can stir up trouble with any other group that may enjoy OUR national parks and state forests. ☹️

Thanks for warning others.

I would put location is well above detector model (80%), then experience with the chosen detector (10%) and finally the brand of detector in your price range. Remember that if you get hooked by the gold bug, you can always up grade to a high price detector, that can be covered with your finds. I have not used an Nox 800 but after picking one up with dealer I know and having a swing of it all I can say is at the end of 10 hour days I would not know how many time my gold yield would have gone up, way back in the 1980 till the PI came out.
