It might give away one of my spots, but here goes. I was in the area near a Wolfram mine within a 100 km from Leonora West Aust. Note if anyone find the spot I don't want to know how much gold I left behind. 🤐

That's a good day. My best day was also 26+ ounces but I did not have to share it with any crew. I had to spend some of it on the wife.😉

It all depends on what get thrown at you on the health side and if you are strong enough to carry all of those pills. ☠️

And SCAMMERS know money transaction can be traced.

Simon tell them to use a smaller coil if they want to pick up your small NZ nuggets. I am sure they are casing you residence, so keep your doors locked.

Christmas is near.

Steve would earn more than the scammer, for each of their posts🤑

Garrett, Send Me An Axiom And I Will make sure that Minelab will not take away your record of the largest nugget ever found with a detector. You may have to throw in a few extras to get me, but the largest nuggets were mainly found here in Victoria so you will be on a good chance of not losing your record to Minelab when they send me my free GPZ-8000. Your sincerly Mr Geof. JUNK

Has any one detected one of these. A Ballarat Miner's Safety hook. Miners soon discovered that… A Ballarat Miner's Safety hook. Miners soon discovered that even with a windlass and rope, pulling up a bucket of 'Wash Dirt' could be dangerous, especially to people down below, if the lip of the bucket caught and the contents dumped back down. to remedy this, they fashioned a Safety hook, which saved many headaches whilst also easy for disengaging the bucket at the surface, 33 cm long

I have it in the kid's inherence. Most of our nuggets above a dwt are still in the collection with the exception of specimens. Most of which have been crushed, refined and sold.

They were a very common find on Victorian Aus. gold fields in the early 1980s

When I found a sunbaker over 5½ ounces I got on the 2way and said "Chicken to-night" Carol answered "I'm coming over to see how well you cooked it". That was one of our codes when detecting because a lot of EARS out there. It was hard to keep the WOW in.😂

George II 1727 - 1760 - Coincraft https://coincraft.com › British Coins › By Monarch Here we offer the scarce King George II Old Head Halfpenny. Remember that during the reign of King George II (1727-1760) the Halfpenny was the largest ...

For fun any speck is a win, but 0.3 gm means I would have to get 7 plus nuggets every day for 2 weeks to make minimum wages. When on the gold 0.3 or less is bread and butter but when on gold there is a few pieces a ¼ ounce or more to make it worth while. In new patches depth is not a major factor in finding them.

A 19 minute UTube.

1¼ Troy Pounds (16 Oz) in Carol's hand all from separate patches. I was lucky I got it back off her. 😁

My rule of thumb since 1979 is four ounces of gold for the best GOLD Detector available. The question is what is the best for your skill, endurance, size and depth of the gold where you will detect. If you intend to pay for your new TOY a lot of work or play is required to come out in front.

Nice display of your WORK and a good total of gold. Your last photo shows the amount of WORK that had to be done well done.

It is normal for some nuggets.

klunker How much did MineLab pay you to write their Patent's 🤣

Jason report should make GPX6000 owner a lot happier. Garrett Australia now has a big problem trying to sell the AXIOM at an unreasonable price in Aus and NZ as ML has up their game.

🤣 I think this might be help those that can't afford lithium batteries for their detectors 🤣 .............LINK...........

Back in 1980 at Wedderburn Vic. Aus. most of us hated the built in speaker there was so much beep, beep, beeping going on, even the birds were mimicking the the beeps. I can see the benefit of the UR40. I made my own Earphone setup to do the same with the best earphone that were available for stereo that I could get, and made a cage (like in a safety helmet) that allowed ventilation and keep the Earphones very close to my ear.

It's good to see the Monument photo. When I saw the location back in 1980 there was not much to see. I never detected more than 2 days in Kingower but one of my mates got a 2½" flat square nugget about an ¼ " thick that weighed 11 Oz on the other side of the sealed road from the spot about ½ mile in.

Erik an I have an understanding he keeps of my beach *GEOFFREY BAY" and I keep of his. November I will be taking all of Phrunt gold in NZ so Erik will have full access to my beach during that time. 😜
