Do you have a picture of it? Sounds like it's not just quartz an gold. Or maybe a large air pocket in it.

I find a bit of solder  while detecting. What is the low temperature you are talking about? Solder melts around 850 degrees. 

Even if we didn’t make a profit prospecting some of us would do it anyway. Think about Mars and all that juicy red dirt ?

Thanks for sharing that! 

I bet you could hear a shovel head if you rubbed it on the coil!

And you?

It’s my working season so nothing to report. I will see what I can do after November.

Thanks for posting this, I needed a gold fix. 

Good to see that! Best post I have seen in a while. Go get his daddy.

Nice ! Thanks for taking the time to post! That’s some hard work there. Believe me I know.

So nice, I love stumbling!

Can i ask the number of hours and the monetary value???if possible? just curious

Ok, I lost a month and a half due to the loss of an uncle. But I would estimate between 450 and 500 hours. The weight in the jar is just over 24 ounces. The biggest piece is 59 grams. I actually sold it all. I did spot price because it was one buyer and I don't have time to market it. I am just the farmer ?

It is only that way when everything is gold in the jar ?

Where's the small nuggets?

 

Haha! They actually shake down under the big ones always. There is quite a few but the big ones ride on top. Funny isn't it.

Is this AZ gold? Incredible. 

 

Yes, all AZ. Lots of hard work in that jar.?

Well it’s not as good as last year, but here’s a couple pounds from this season.

I have only found that much in nuggets in one day a few times. So so nice. Those nuggets bring a premium for sure. They are so much more rare than their native brothers.

Does it ride in the truck bed?  Are you allowed to tow triples?

The camper is a toy hauler. The quad goes in there. Really handy.

Very true, I have even found extra deep has found gold not particularly deep that for whatever reason was missed by HY and general.  

I agree, and extra deep can answer a lot of questions when switching around on  deep targets.

You need to think of them as the Master and the Slave (Is it politically correct to use that terminology these days?),

No worries JP. We just call them boss and employees now.?

I wish Steve had a "so true" button. Or a love button.

Sorry Walker...I didn't commend you on a great job, I was so blown away. Awesome mate. Just hope you finish that handle off with a bit of black foam or tennis racquet handle wrap around tape. . I think you might have void the warranty  No...well done.

Good luck out there

JW  

No worries JW. I did finish the handle. I posted it before I finished all the details. I actually wired in a standard headphone plug. I will post the first gold I find with it next week. I like the center mount on the coil the most.

What batteries did you go with,

I use the same battery pack, if you look at the picture you can see I put it in through the front. 

Wow! It must have a big hallow bubble inside! They are deceptive for sure. Keep them coming Lunk!

Well done. It should have looked more like that in the first place. I would love to see what you could do with a 7000.

PS You could have shortened the coil lead. The shorter the better.

I left the cable as is, if I have trouble with it I will shorten it. It sure coils tight around the shaft. The thing sounds great. I will take it out next week and prove it. I have found multiple ounces with this 2300. I bought it as soon as they came out. I could probably put a bigger coil on it but I don't need one. It is definitely more usable and lighter.
