My First Detected Nugget

[mn90403]

Thanks for the reply Ringmoney. ?  That is a beautiful nugget. 

Which Nox did you get? 

When I look at that nugget I can see that we have failed a bit at our job here of telling people how to 'safely' find nuggets in different parts of the world.  The lesson about removing your thumb ? before you swing and strike with a pick ⛏️ must be repeated.  Just take your time and don't get so excited? when you see the Nox numbers on gold next time.  The nugget can wait for your fingers to get out of the way.  ?

Irish ?? gold rush to follow.  (There won't be any prospectors left in New Zealand ?? after they see that post!)

The 800 of course, no prospecting mode on the 600.

Lol you didn't see the others, the head of a 11kg pneumatic calking gun blew off and mashed them up against a stainless blade. On my knees with the pain for about 30min with the pain before I could even look at them, sore is not the word.

 OK. I did that. now how do I reconnect it to my hand? Or did I miss something in you safety instructions?
