I love that kind of gold 😁just so brittle. The thin veins carry some of the best stuff.

I have heard of more exceptional large nuggets found in the U.S. in the last couple years than in Oz. I suppose though that as finds get harder there people are just learning more to keep their mouths shut. It's a shame, but I can't blame them.

Congratulations on a great find, and given what I just said, thanks for sharing. It's stuff like this that motivates people to keep at it when the going gets tough. 

I was try to be stealthy and hide it in a thread 10 pages back but you didn't let that happen 🤣

Sorry for being a slacker, but I have been busy 😁

I found an old trumpet case at a garage sale for minimal $. It’s survived the true test.

Skeptics emit what I call "SkepticWaves." Not only blocks dowsing, but also ESP, telepathy, psychokinesis, and pretty much all other paranormal abilities. Powerful stuff.

Wow! It seems skeptics can block everything. That is powerful stuff.

So sorry, I missed that one. I am so embarrassed to ask.

I totally agree Chris. If you perfect your recovery time you spend more time processing dirt through the coil. Trimming time is the key.

Great topic, and great response Lunk! I have found with the gpz, that non ferrous targets pinpoint easy. Edge of coil technique. But iron particles ( not big iron) tends to move around like your trying to push two magnets together in reverse polarity. You just can’t get that easy bullseye. It’s not a perfect theory but it might get you on the right track.

If you are in heavy trash, you need patience. If it’s good ground, gold will show up. Learn how to recover targets fast. ( magnet work etc) have confidence. Trust me, the gold is there.

If you are serious about your hunt, always get the very best tools.

I remember when they released those satellites. It was like a string of lights going across the sky in a perfect line. Kinda freaked us out for a short bit. 

I would love to talk with Pieter. We have a dear friend in common. He is the root of the reason I hit the gold fields. If anyone can get me in touch with him I would be so appreciative. My friends name was Warren Weatherly. He died in a construction accident.

The stretch marks I put on that rubber lid. I feel so guilty. 🤣

Flakmagnet, you get it..! Thank you 

I fill it with water, so.... It does it's job. By the end of the day nugs are clean 😊😄

When I was detecting for a mining company, we were finding nuggets so fast. It took so much time to unscrew the lid off the nugget container. So I made a rubber slit in the lid. The next day I was doing my thing and slamming nugs into my new invention. The excavator operator saw what I was doing and said " you should patent that."..... I said why? I will sell maybe 3. Who is going to have this problem 🤣

When you see hype here on this forum, it turns into pounds in the field. Steve filters out the BS and makes truth come through. Thank you so much.

It's easier to deceive someone than to convince them that they have been deceived. I will go pound for pound with the diviners.

Yes, I think it's called aliquot 

I found this years ago. Here's my lady in a golden robe. No sound though 

That's awesome! I have act dug up 5 of those exact tobacco tins. Only 2 of them we're worth savings. Just this last season. Thanks for sharing!

Ahhh! So good to see this! Just about to get my season started and now I’m motivated. Good work!

Hey my friend, in general, most of the good gold is on bedrock. But there are so many variables that we don’t know about that happened when the gold was deposited. I find many ( floaters) well above bedrock. With the metal detector technology we have today, just try to take the time to check everything. So glad to see you out!
