Good replies everyone. I don't know what is worse getting gold straight away then nothing for rest of the day or getting a bit at end of day and having to wait to go back to detect the spot and then spending a day or two only to discover it was just a loner.

Hi everyone. Been having some fun with the Zed on the gold lately. Here's some Video's hope you enjoy.

A couple more bits from very quiet is that a signal or not.

Hi thanks for the comments everyone. It's a pity I didn't film right from the start but the signal on top was so quiet and very iffy that I thought it might only be a tiny shot pellet or minute bit of gold at the most. But if I'd filmed the whole dig you might have been amazed at the initial signal compared to the end result.

Hi Steve.
I use the 8 inch Detech Mono attached to the 4500.
All I can say is it is one hell of a coil stable, sensative and very rugged. Has taken a beating bulldozing it under bushes and debris and banging into rocks and still works like new. Punches deep for it's size and has found plenty of nuggets. Ideal in thick scrub or areas where your swing is limited.
Score 10 out of 10.

Good find Golden.
I wouldn't be surprised if that has been smelted and cast as the indentation look man made. What was the weight. Wonder if it was a type of gold field currency.

Yep agree GoldEN, I feel for you and his mates that spent time with him on the goldfields. I only met the man physically for 2 days at the gold bash after over 5 years on the gold forum. And my expectations did not disappoint, as I can be quick to cut the chaff from the hay, as some would say. A genuine happy bloke that seemed to go out of his way to help all that were interested. I remember giving him such a hard time about that stump he got suck on Remember that one bro? The poor buggar copped it from all sides, but all in jest as us Aussies do to our own at times
Con was a Great Mate and l miss him greatly. Talking about the stump, he took that stump and all that was thrown at him in his stride like the true champion he was.
So talking about the stump here it is.
In memory of the big fella.

Over here in Victoria Australia we have The PMAV an orginisation that has fought tirelessly to keep the goldfields open to detectorists/prospectors and miners. Not only do they have to contend wth the issue of unfilled holes they also have to contend with those that believe all the gold should be theirs and no others should be allowed to enjoy the hobby and unfortunately try to sabotage the good work of the PMAV. They are the ones regardless of regulations will still do what they want where they want.
As an example l have a photo from another forum highlighting this issue.
It is a well known fact that there are several that believe that the PMAV has created more competition for the gold through there promotion of prospecting.
They are the ones who would like to see the goldfields closed for their own benifit.

Hope you had a great day and a great year to follow. Just remember you are just a day older than yesterday and a day younger than tomorrow.

G.B. I have to know - what was in the bottom of this hole? I hope it was worth the effort!
Started of with a quiet signal took a bit of digging to reach target
Finaly got it out
1st bit followed by a deeper signal
And more signals being nuggety gold bearing quartz
And more signals
All the quartz is giving of signals and most is yet to be crushed waiting for a rainy day but at this stage its a case off still working out if return for effort will be worth it. Trouble with nuggety gold bearing quartz there can be a lot of digging before the next signal

Hi Steve
Good to see your flight across the ditch was nice and smooth. Looking fwd to your posts. Nice lump on hand.

Hey Dave you might have to teach these nice lads the difference between our Codes of Football (Aussie Rules being supreme off course)
And the difference between our beers and that sump oil called XXXX . 'lol'
Good to see you onboard
Cheers.

The web of a large Australian spider is so strong it could be used for skin grafts and bulletproof clothing. The golden orb-weaving spider's silk could be up to 100 times tougher than synthetic products used today, according to a research paper by University of Sunshine Coast researcher Genevieve Kerr
