Went out with a buddy Saturday and tried a couple of new areas. Full of trash. Got tired of digging trash with no gold see we decided to move on to another area that had been extensively drywashed in hopes of picking up a few scraps. Still a bunch of trash but I picked up the specie on a bench on bedrock under about 10 in of silt. Nice solid signal on the GPZ Same nugget, different angle. 3.3 grams Also found a half gram solid piece. Chris

Woke up grabbed the 7000 and left for the day. It's what I love to do on my birthday. I called an old friend to ask if I could swing a coil of his land. Of course you can he replied. I haven't ever been there with a detector so what the heck. After my half hour drive a stepped out grabbed my gear got suited up and headed out. I stepped about sixty feet from my pickup and was mired in a patch. Four hours I was up and down like mad. Every swing yielded a nugget. I got tired after 3.3 ounces. Had to head home for a pint. Here's some pics

Finished night shift had a camp then proceeded to me gold fields.Arrived late afternoon , a few clouds around, thought I would have a couple of hours to snag a peace. Fired up the z'd and started , holy the clouds were thicker than I thought , lighting every 10 seconds tied to put up with it , but gave it away.Anyway went to sleep early and woke early moon was awesome and bright was about 3am had the usual coffee and breakfast and off . About HR later got a faint signal . Yep gold , little peace ,wet grass was not helpful ? 10mins another tiny peace . Then another even smaller. Went back for smoko and thought I would have a look a some new ground . 2 hrs later had a target, ?Sounded awesome and as I had taken about 3" off still there. Then out emerged a nice 9.5grammer . That was it I was done still 36degrees and humid as. Will get bac when cooler! ? Was the first hunt for awhile due to the heat ! Good luck out there people. Regards Sqizz

Even though the temps here have only been in the low 30`s, for weeks now there has been no wind and no cloud so you get to about 10AM and it`s quite unpleasant outside. I went out for a 2½ hr detect yesterday at the closest goldfield to my house and when I had been there about 15 min I got this one. Really deep in a old diggers mound. I took the picture with the microscope because it`s hard to see the gold in this piece, but it should clean up well in the acid. It sg`s at 1.1 grams. cheers Dave

Hi all like clean shiny colour. Keep some small ones in acid bath for a couple weeks.: GoldEN

It's been a while since I posted any gold finds, so I thought I better let you all have a look at some of what the GPZ 7000 has found in the beat-up old placers of southwestern Arizona before making my way northward. The mighty Zed: Pictured is 3 ounces of the good stuff. It was unseasonably cool and wet this winter, and is just now warming up to the temperature that it should have been a month ago. Not complaining...just saying. ? Also saw a few critters. The weather has been so perfect lately that I really don't want to leave. Even mom got into the action this winter after a 4 year hiatus; her story here: http://www.minelab.com/usa/go-minelabbing/success-stories/she-s-a-gold-digger Well, until next winter, so long sunny AZ!?

Hi All just to get an idea of type of gold is found in some goldfields in Queensland, Australia.Found with 2300. Flat piece has 0.8 grams and was given as a present to me from a detecting mate Ruffles. (probably as a present i didn't go with them hihi). GoldEN

Hi all Checking some nuggets from past trips and making some photo to share:Enjoy. All couple grams each. GoldEN
-
i though this piece on the left was a particularly interesting specimen because it is so deceivingly light! Believe it or not, both nuggets are nearly identical in weight, at just under 3 grams (with the bigger crystalline looking piece actually being slightly lighter)... At a glance you would assume it was 2-3x bigger. It almost reminds me of crumpled aluminum foil that is loosely balled up, but if you really press on it it will get way smaller. Just a cool piece I thought I'd share.

Hi all One of 6-7 species which came from same hole: enjoy GoldEN

I got out for a quick 2½ hour detect today at a spot where most times I come home empty handed but I know of some nice pieces that have come from there in the last 5 years and I got this half grammer. It`s not so much the size of the piece as the signal it gave off. I run a very low threshold, if I turn down the threshold just 2 numbers I can`t hear it, and this piece came through as very soft electrical interference. From the signal I was getting I had no idea of size or depth and I was disappointed it was only down 6" in super hard gravel. I was hoping what ever it was, it was going to be much deeper. But any day I come home with a rattle in the jar is a good day. cheers Dave

My mission to pay off my GPZ is off to a good start. Saturday was out for a few hours and picked up 8.2 g. Then today made it out, and got 10.6 g big one was 4.2 g. I was amazed at the depth of the 3 gram nugget. Just been hitting old patches mostly, with a couple of stray nuggets here and there. cheers. Chris

G'day All, here are some of my favourite little nuggies. Examples of Wire Gold and Crystallne Gold found in WA over the last few years. The 2 bottom pieces were found in the same area and are very close in size/shape we decided to hang onto them to make them into a pair of earrings. Well one these days that is. thanks all for having a look at these nice little nuggies. cheers. Mike.

Hi all son went out the other day down here in Victoria (Aussie) land In a well detected area. he was using his gpz7000 with the 19 inch coil, general gold mode and difficult ground mode he said it was a wirey sort of sound, thought it need to be investigated. with his pick he scrapped off a layer of dirt, then he said it sounded better.. after digging down 24 inches this is what he was rewarded with.
