Some after pics of the quick spit washed showed a nice find for my efforts. Globby gold on one side. 13" MONO coil on the Axiom while using Garrett AT Carrot Pointer. Beautiful. . 2.17 ozt 4 hours ago, Ridge Runner said: I’ve said in the past and that’s Gerry is going to lose that nugget to the great beyond one day and when that happens I don’t want to be in a radius of 5 miles when it sees daylight again. That video was like being there and I wanted to tell you to get out of the way because you’re not digging fast enough. The Best Always! Chuck Sucking the juice out of it. Hey you only live once right.🤣 Don't swaller the yeller part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Bach Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 That's one hell of a chunk Jerry... For your own bennifit as well as all of us customers, I hope to christ that at least one of your diggin partners knows how to perform the Heimlich maneuver🤮just in case you ever swallow one of those bad boys! So how are your chompers holding up? Are you ready for a new set yet? I'm pretty certain that you have more than enough of the yellow stuff by now to get a custom made full replacement, that would make any rapper blush.

Chuck Chuck, If I could do video editing as well as I run a detector, it sure would make things easier on the eyes. If I do swallow one on accident, I sure hope it comes out even more shiny.🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably 1 to 2" gap from coil to the soil when swinging. Here's what most folks don't realize. A specimen such as this does not have a big mass of gold like say a 3 gram nugget. The detector will hit even deeper on solid targets. I've dug gold over a foot at depth with the Axiom and dug a few iron targets near 2' deep.
