Popular Post Ringmoney Posted September 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2016 I decided to give a go at nugget hunting with a detector here in Ireland. I equipped the TDI with a new 6" Miner John coil and off I went. Third signal in and up popped this nugget. Not a monster by other countries standards but here in Ireland it is a monster. I am still buzzing and cant actually believe I found a nugget with a detector, but one this size, well over the moon is an under statement. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickUK Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Wow,thats a rare find for sure,never found one here in the UK, apart from gold coins,but had been looking at getting one of the 6'' coils for my TDI Pro as well,i do have the 7.25 DF coil but if a 6'' MJ one came along at the right price i may seriously look at buying one.I did buy a few coils made by MJ earlier in the year when he had a massive sale on,but the 6'' coil was not in the sale. What type of ground did you find the nugget ?? near a river or on say normal farm land,would be interesting to find out the locations that one could find these possible nuggets. Well done on a rare find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringmoney Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 The 6" was on sale a few weeks ago, that's why I bought it, I think it was $100 posted but I see they are not on sale now. Found it very close to a know gold bearing stream imbedded in slate bed rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Herschbach Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Wow, I think that is an extremely impressive find! People find gold all the time in some locations but the number of people finding a gold nugget in Ireland with a metal detector has got to be a very small and exclusive club. And some real size to it also - Congratulations!!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
