Thats a nice haul of pretty nuggets!  Those look fairly rough for the most part and must not have moved very far.  It goes to show, its hard to completely work out a good patch. You should definitely head back there on one of those days the new spots don't produce anything.  

To me, that's a great blend of quartz and gold.  I tend to like the look of the specimens that have gold all shot through them and show a little evidence of weathering with the gold smoothed and polished on the outside.  That one is a real lunker too!  

Very nice how everybody came away with some gold.  The SDC was the winner of the day though.  I bet in really tough areas to work, like steep hillsides and tight spots, the SDC users are glad they brought along the "little guy" to detect with that day!  

That's a nice group of nuggets you managed to find with the SDC.  I have one too and I really need to get out and use it.  Thanks for sharing and giving me a little motivation!
