GoldEn Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hi All What is your ultimate detecting goal? What is a dream find? Realistic answers please. Is it rare coin or the big gold nugget? For me in a goldfields i would love to find multiouncer nugget. I found bigger then ounce but not mulitouncer. Personally i would try to find some nice rare coins in Europe and look for some lost treasure in the sea with a friend. GoldEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I have to say I am pretty content with what I have found over the years with a metal detector. Lots of great finds, lots of great adventure! I have never found a gold coin yet and would like to do that. On be other hand it can't be too much a priority for me as I keep chasing gold nuggets instead. I enjoy wandering around in the wilderness by myself. The nuggets are just a sort of bonus that happens in the process. My answers not too long ago may have been different, but when put the the question right now, all I really want to do is remain in good health and doing this for as long as possible. I wish the same for you and everyone else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDdesertman Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'm set on finding a 1-pounder someday. It's a tall order, but I know a few prospectors that have done it in the areas that I hunt so I know it can be done. And if I have to dig up a few ouncers in the process I guess I will...

Norvic Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Yeah, for me I am very contented with my past detecting experiences, it is a magic journey and a privilege to be part of the "electronic gold rush". But...........................score a 100oz plus piece in the future................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunk Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 My goal is to be the first person to detect on Mars, but if I only make it as far as the land downunder I'll be happy. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klunker Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 My goals are to completely wear out my jeep, invest tens of thousands of dollars in detecting technology that I haven't got the patience to use, freeze my @$$ off in the winter, bake myself to medium rare in the summer, be the worlds foremost expert on the social-economic impact of square nails, be the first to discover that I am not the first to discover something and meet a whole gob of darned good folks I have succeeded beyond my wildest expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I started detecting when silver coins was just stop being made. So most finds was silver back then. I too have yet to find a gold coin and I'd like to find one. Other than the gold coin I'm happy where I'm at now. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
