No Biggy But Nice Day

[Smigo]

Hey guys. Been waiting to get out for a while. Some health issues but finally out! Did a drive to a place I love from years ago. Awesome day weather wise. Loved it. I down graded due to my health but any day swinging a detector to me is bliss, especially where I went. See nobody, hear nobody and all alone. In my element. Used the Garrett 24k with the 6" and it cruised on half Sat, 7 sens Audio Boost 2. Dug heaps of targets, several surprised me up to about 8" deep for their size. Damn lead. 😆

Ended up with 2 Specimens, 1 id guess from experience has close to 1/2 a g, the other lucky to be .1 and a tiny .1 bit free gold. No record breaking but was a great day. Was really surprised though how the 6" handled the area. Expected to be running it around 5 to below. Tried above 7 and other settings but just a little too chattery and picking up too many real little hot rock chips. Its amazing with this just what 1 step down sens does. 80% vanished and it ran so much better than on 8!

Anyway, didn't get rich  😆 but was a ton of fun.

Drive in. Big drop off to the right.

Nearly there.

Arrived and the spot.

Good fun and happy I can still swing something. 👍

Nice gold and nice photos! And good to see gold nuggets found with a VLF for a change.

Those look pretty good to me, nice to see someone posting gold finds. Thanks for sharing your success with the vlf.

Interesting, nice to see some photos of various Aussie terrains. Seen a lot of nuggets but no so much the environment you guys detect in other than closeups of ground. Nice specis too.

Nice gold specimens, thanks for sharing!

Nice! I miss my 24K.... thinking about upgrading my coin/relic machine to a Nox800 so I still have a VLF unit capable of detecting tiny gold in mild soils. But the 24K still is in my mind, the best VLF gold prospecting detector ever built.

Those eucalyptus weren’t weeds? 😄

it’s funny seeing those as native plants, looks like a nice place and some nice specimens!

Love seeing the beautiful gold in quartz and especially with a VLF.  So many folks feel PI is the only way but they don't know what their missing.  Great on ya.
