When I glanced at that first pic I thought I'd just seen the first daytime pic of the latest lunar landing and was scanning the background looking for the capsule....????  Now you've proven there IS gold on the moon....!!!!!!

Thankfully as an Australian I am ineligible as the rules were too long and complamicated for this black duck. 
Also, thankfully, I am able to live my GPX 6000 ‘dream’ and not just be waiting for the container ships to unload.  That’s hard for you guys in the States. 
Got out for about 1.5 hours this arvo before dark.  About a dozen lead shot, some large rusty bolt heads and nails and a little bit of the right colour.

I assume Memorial Day is very similar to our ANZAC Day and is a time for thanks and reflection of those that have served their country to keep us safe and free.  In that context it’s not appropriate to say ‘Happy’ Memorial Day but I do hope you all have a good weekend, get to spend some time with your loved ones and enjoy the solitude or comradery that prospecting brings you  🤗

Cheers, NE.

I found a sunrise but didn't find any gold.

Thanks Gerry and all of those who have served our country. This morning i hit the turf local park hunt before the wife got up, and i was rewarded with two pieces of gold! Swinging the 11" on my 800 all metal with 21 sensitivity, and recovery at 7. The earring is 14k and had an id between 9-10. The ring was a total surprise id was showing 14 but sounded good and it was, 23k 3.0 gram and the earring is 1.5g. Happy Memorial Day !  🤩 ht

The new nf coil only found a skunk today and the only gold found by my son was the tiny nuggy I planted for him to find with his new 2300 so he’d begin to get an idea what to listen for. It was planted alongside the edge of a small bush, I had him fire up his detector and started him swinging on another bush nearby. When he made it to the right bush as expected a little hi lo sounded out and he missed it, I had him go back and he ran the coil over it a couple times and then asked what’s that?, lol. So now he knows, he dug tiny trash no doubt if he’s lucky enough tomorrow when we take the grandson out he’ll find one then?

the grandson (6) wants to go find treasure so I’ve got a flat shiny just under a gram we’ll hide for him to find, I think he can probably swing the Deus OK, video to follow.
