Popular Post Gerry in Idaho Posted April 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2023 Been lucky to travel a little with metal detector. Below - 1st pic is Positano, Italy and I detected the beach. Found some coins and a sterling ring. 2nd pic (below) is my 1st ever one ounce gold nugget. Found on the runway at Ganes Creek, Alaska. 3rd pic (below) is from Australia and the hot ground. 4th pic is from Bahamas Detecting England in the early Spring Rains and some of the success from the group trip. Interior of Mexico and the soldiers watching over/protecting the gold Anyone been around old mining should know what this is...MX Lake Tahoe and the rock statues watching the gold. I was able to earn a little yellow heavy metal from Lake Tahoe. Last pic - My CTX-3030 says something metallic in the rock. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
