I hope so, coz thats an amazing story and great find. US$5 per gram is usual for known H series Chondrites. But being a new fall/find and the story....well thats up to the scientists and Universities etc to determine the value. If its a Carbonaceous Chondrite, well....thats thousand$ per gram. Like I said.....needs classification. 

I don't want to post anything, that Mark hasn't posted online.  I don't know squat about space rocks, but Mark does, has found many before, so seeing him so ecstatic , I know it's a good one. I'm just blown away, that he had the confidence, to just haul ass up there, and then find this sucker.

Obviously needs to be classified. Could be worth big $$ if its anything unusual. But if just an ordinary H series  Chondrite, its worth maybe US$2500. But with its fall being witnessed, it may attract a premium price from scientific institutions.

Pretty sure it's worth more than that. Was on the news, etc.

Are you new to the internet? Just kidding. F em. And like Steve said, nobody likes a whiner. Nice chunk!

Or my gp extreme, ha!

Good video Steve. 

Ground hog day for me...on a roof, dreaming about the day I get caught up, and can detect. Soon I hope!!!!

Hell...I'll take her ugly cousin! Wow! Badass!!

Here ya go Jennifer. This started alot of headaches, lol. People following them, people claiming fence jumping  because at night, etc. But Mark's reaction was priceless. Btw...they where relic hunting, so this was nice surprise, and beginning of a great patch

9x14 Evo, couple of Steve's Rods, and another Apex pick k...36 inches. You ain't planning on robbing me are ya? My dogs eat everything I shoot, lol. 😜 

Wow is right! Way to go

Nice chunk brother!

Jeez. I don't know how I missed, that it will telescope into a nice, compact unit, shove in a backppack..or tie on the back. Nice

Seems right up my alley...simple. I don't like detectors that are complicated, and make you start second guessing on weather it's set up good or not. Rather detect, than program. Now, ...if only I did NOT have to pay for my daughter's wedding in October, haha

RE: broken shaft:

Anyone else thinking "Easy one! Hammer in a hardwood dowel with epoxy resin" and carry on??

That's what I did with my Ole, beloved sovereign. I ran that thing into the ground, lol. Had crap ducttaped , dowel rod, etc. But...it gave me 10 years of very hard use, and abuse, and was still going strong when I gave her up.

Way cool! I think it's every kids dream, to find a dinosaur.  Hope you find more!

Hell yeah! Killer area yall are working, and congrats to your buddy! Hope your up next man!

Hey Strick! What's funny  man, is I watched goldhound guys, had no problem understanding them. But I also watch fishing videos...there are these Aussies...Morningstar and Cavy...dude, that must be Aussie surfer slang talk, I can only make out like every 5th word, haha. But, they make some BADASS videos, haha

You don't have to make a video to have that problem. If you want to show your finds only do it when you are going home at the end of prospecting and only if no one saw you at the location.

Yep. You haven't seen me post in years, correct? Same goes for relics. Sucks people let the fever take over them.

That is total BS Sheppo, all of our videos were filmed and posted on YouTube after Bruce's murder it had nothing to do with it, and we have never had any other "incidents" as you say. Despite what people say we had written permission and lawful access rights for everywhere we prospected and filmed.

We stopped posting videos because of the same problems that Jaysong has/had. The lengths people will go to to follow you are extraordinary! If they spent that much time looking for gold they might find something! I have a 3 terrabite hard drive full of video that no one will ever see due to the negative impact it inflicted on me.

 

 

 

Hey brother, never seen your vids until this thread started, now I watched them all this weekend. Fantastic vids, and the lifestyle I'm envious of man. I hear ya on.people doing wierd crap. My friends that did the vids here in Cali, went through it too, after they posted a video of a 4 ouncer found. My buddy Ron, tried to throw people off the track by doing things like adding a train sound in the background of one, taking different vehicles, etc. People get nuts man.

Not exactly a favourite (that's Goldhounds by a mile) but more of a 'love to hate' Youtube channel is Metal Detecting with PJ.. He's as mesmerizing as a snake.. If you're easily offended or politically correct or not an Australian yobbo you'll cringe at his take on metal detecting.. To his credit he does find some good stuff and his videos do feature some very weird and wild metal detecting enthusiasts.. Here's one of his least offensive creations.. 

Dude...I just watched it, frigging hilarious. Thanks for posting it

Used to watch Ron and Marks vids...now that they have separated lol I watch what mark posts as he is more active...Ron posts once in a great while and is finding some cool stuff back east. I do watch the Gigmaister a lot... his vids are genuine...he hunts very active beaches...Chris Ralph has some educational stuff going on...when I get bored of metal detecting vids I like watch lions kill hyenas... just sayin 🙂

strick 

Yeah, Ron needs to dust off the Deus. Guess its been hard to get permission back there.

Vids on gold detecting in OZ have increased the ill feeling property owners have towards detector operators due to the sudden portrayal of their land and the immediate trespass that occurs to the extent the main property I prospect on has helicopter surveillance, with only a very few of us being allowed on with strict rules. Although i am a detector user I am also a property owner I shiver every time I see vids portraying FNQ where i prospect because I know it will bring the undesirables and more property lockdowns. 

Tis a shame for those who do the right thing but it is a hard fact of life.

 

Same thing happens here man. It's kind of ironic...I'm actually in a fair amount of relic videos, but only because some of the guys like Ron n Mark, like making them. But...I've always said to them and another friend, nothing good can ever come from posting vids...except attaboys and recognition.  What does happen, is jealousy, people trespassing, and property owners saying no.

Hey Steve...how does it compare to a GP Extreme? Should I buy one? 🤣

Hey Guys,

  We have been a long time Detech dealer and this is one of the more popular coils Nuggetshooter's use for higher mineralization, discrimination (if your detector has it) and more coverage per swing.  As you can tell, they are also very popular for the coin/relic/beach guys for good discrimination and depth.

Hey Rob! I actually left you a message on the office phone the other day. Was gonna try your cell, but been crazy busy with work. I will get hold of you in few days, pick your brain, and buy a coil. Thanks for the input. Ray
