Nice nuggets and sure will look great as earrings. Very unusual shape.Found with? Thanks for sharing. GoldEN

Hi Norheast sorry to hear you have this problem. Did you try to tune it? Did you try to ground balance it? How many light red dots bars you have on? Sure its strange and i am leaning on back to Minelab way. Good luck with it. GoldEN

One day effort Biggest one 1.5 grams.Nice and clean bright gold. All from old diggings. GoldeN

Sure look like one but i also see a dwarf :) GoldEN

Hi Ghansen Gold has done some strange things to very close people/friends. Its probably best to agree on a deal prior starting detecting.Depend of people you detect. Some people are not much bothered by this.Some are very strange. I detected many times with so many friends/people i know through forum or Our mining association and never ever had this question/issue even mentioned. We all detect and everyone keeps for they find.I also call other to check with better detectors if i find anything.I dont really care much about this.I dont live from it and is just hobby. Sure everyone likes to find a piece of gold and when someone in a group find anything sometimes we tend to say to each other once you move or finish we will go over. I go detecting mostly with one person and we have no any agreement in place.We keep finds and last few months i dont even use my detector i use his. But i know what i would do if i find a Big one. Even tho he doesn't agree. As mention on start do agree prior detecting if you think you need or you might lose some very good friends. Good luck and i hope you find a nice ones. GoldEN

Hi all Found with Gpx5000 and Minelab 8 inch mono commander coil. Love the shape. only half a gram GoldEN

HI all One of these little quartz species which gives signal but no visible gold from outside. Chewton goldfileds Smash open and voila:

One word (number) 2300 they little but right colour and they add up fast. GoldEN :)

People are same regardless where you live on this planet. If they can get away it many try and do. It comes in my opinion is how you were brought up at a home. Seems many lack in this department. As i was not born in Australia i was blown away but untouched beauty of this continent. I love nature and nothing in this world can beat it or create something better then nature. I do not necessary love all creatures when i go detecting but i believe they are put on this planet for a reason and they do their own bit and are important part of it.(even a little spiders) My impression of this row beauty of country quickly disappeared once i went detecting for a first time. Amount of rubbish intentionally left there was unbelievable. i am glad that many times through our detecting association we have clean up days.We get together with park ranger do our bit and have a nice bbq at the end. I like this hobby and what it has to offer.Friendship ,nature, camping, talks around camp fires, laughs, gold stories, escapes of busy city life etc. Apart from holes left over (which most of us fill up ) there is one thing i really hate with passion. Detectors who find a piece of rubbish then leave it again in a hole and fill it up. Sure enough i am enough experienced now to recognize already dig holes but i just want and take out that piece of rubbish other leave. These people are not good for this hobby and i find this quiet mean as it is done on purpose. Could be sheer laziness but i have my doubts. Please do the right thing when in a nature.Respect every bit and it will give u back all what you expect and tenfold more. Take care and stay safe. And dig all. GoldEN

Fantastic discovery. You are so right GB_amateur it is a work of masters. Priceless. Thanks for sharing/ GoldEN

True Steve. I noticed price is one of the main factor everyone goes up in the arms. SDC2300 is great detector for every walk of life-experienced operators, newbies, additional detector etc. Perfect tool to get wifes/gf to get interested instead of sitting around caravan in middle of nowhere. Easy to detect practically turn on and go. Proven gold finders. They might saved some marriages or at least made them much smoother. GoldEN

Nice one Phoenix. I personally like to find gold but i prefer to find relics. Unfortunately here we cant touch them and have to leave them where we find them. Pretty sad if you ask me.I would like we could instead donate all pieces to the museum and map all finds from goldfields for future generations. They tell history and you never know what we will come across. We are very limited in finds from distant history in Australia but hey we are very well compensated with gold here. I found few buttons and some interesting relics and i i wish they can talk. GoldEN

Thats a beaty. Hope you investigate there more low and slow and get some more. Thanks for sharing fantastic looking specie. GoldEN

Hi all Few little ones with 2300 and one very deep button in between 2 diggers hole. Could be anything but happy with button. GoldEN

Wishing you very happy birthday JP. It's a nice milestone and hope you have. Great day. Thenks for your contribution to this and other forums and detecting community in general. Wishing you many many more years of gold hunting. Enjoy it. GoldEn

Phoenix i did persist with your settings last trip. Targets very much softer and iffy but i got 14 nuggets for 0.8grams. Dont mind your setting but i like it little louder:) GoldEN

agree with you both.There is no way a newbie (novice) will find any of these little nuggets if only little of noise. Looking back i wouldn't find 9 of 10 when i started. i always preferred silence when i started.i realized this when i took newbies for a first time they just walk and dont "hear "it.. GoldEN

Hi Mn90403 Here it is: Does great job but depend of specie and amount of ironstone and quartz on it might stay in acid few months. GoldEN

My 36 grams came over foot and half deep. Found with gpx5000 and 14 inch terracotta mono coiltek coil. GoldEN

Hi all Couple found with gpx5000. Couple grams of gold and came nice after the acid bath. GoldEN

Hi Northeast most times is very quiet. I detected 20 nuggets for 1 gram so they pretty small, You sure know its a target. Sure few feet i ground balance. GoldEN

Here is a photo as it came form the ground:

please let us know how did you go. Good Luck GoldEN

Not in it for a money.Enjoy it and until i enjoy it i will do it regardless of price of gold. GoldEN

nice photo Mike .Well done you guys. Hope this season is even better. GoldEN
