Popular Post Gold Hound Posted November 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hi Steve and good members I took the 19 in coil out for its maiden swing yesterday, it was supposed to be a 10 day camping trip but my start battery on my car dropped a cell and I had to come back to town to get a replacement. So lucky for you guy's you get to see this 66g specimen with about 50g Au content that I pulled out of a deep rock crack at a measured 890mm. The 14 could not pick it up until about 250mm was removed and the 5k 14 elite could not pick it up until a further 120mm was removed. My pick handle is 1150mm long to give you a reference point and im holding my hand where the top of the ground was before I excavated the hole. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasong Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 That's officially the deepest I've ever seen a nugget detected then, just wow since it's "only" a 66 gram speci and still getting that depth. That's 35 inches! Nice one. Any chance you could do a quick air test on it so we can relate in-field performance to some of the air tests published? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schiara Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Thanks for posting, Nice dig man congrats. Wish you filmed a video on the target. Soon the GPZ 19 will hit the shores in the USA. MINELAB speed it up over here. I have one on order, been working out to handle the extra weight. Regards www.bucketdigger.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got my new battery so I'm heading back out tomorrow will do an air test while I'm out there. Don't worry I was as shocked as you when it was only 50g Au! I thought it was going to be 4oz+. Before someone says it fellin from the side I pinpointed it in the bottom of the rock crack with a pinpointer so it definitly didn't fall in from the side of the hole. And my mate that was with me could not hear the target at all until I dug off 150mm, I'm pretty sure that was because of our differences in our hearing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
