geof_junk Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 My wife and I have found over 60 gold rings on one holiday. A half sovereign on the gold fields, a sovereign on a old race track(now a farm paddock). A heap of silver and copper coins from old schools and churches as well as plenty of spending money in current coins. 19 Oz in a morning and pushed to over 26 Oz after lunch. A few good virgin patches exceeding a Kilo. My ULTIMATE GOAL is finding my next nugget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuggetWill Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I too still dream of finding that really big nugget, this dream was initially just finding one, now I have all the steps just prior to finding it memorized...eg: initial broad signal, at least a foot down, I lift a full shovel of dirt that's really HEAVY....I sit next to it for a few minutes before uncovering it so I can let my mind run wild with all the possibilities and finally, I remove a bit of dirt from just a corner of the target and it gleams yellow in the sun......

Ringmoney Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 For me its just to be able to detect in peace without the fear of prosecution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Tones Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I really have no goal except to enjoy life and each hunt before I eventually die. Oh, I do have a detecting goal of sorts, but it's a moving target: To master my favorite metal detector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I could sit there pondering before finding out how big that monster is...? Welcome to the forum, Will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedDirtDigger Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Main goal is to find world biggest nugget, anything bigger then 3123 Toz (214 pound) gold content, it doesn't have to be a solid, it can have some added quartz. Secondary goal...find a patch over 1000 oz's. Third goal, like Fed Mason... find a really really big fresh Pallasite Meteorite with big glassy peridot crystals that can be sliced to look like a lead light window.

californiagold Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 In the begging it was just finding a piece of gold. then more, then a big one. Then finding some gold and relics where my elder family mined during the rush. even was with a friend when he found a gold double eagle. damit. atleast I got to be there. Nowdays my goals are different. Just being outside enjoying the wilds with the possibilty of getting attacked by a mountain lion or a Rabid Nurse paul is thrilling. but most of all I enjoy more helping new detectorist find their first gold and see them off to a new detecting hobbie. that is my treasure or goal nowdays. too give back. No not you Paul. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it called greed but then I'm quite sure we have all given back at some point. If I found 1000 I would only take enough to tell my employer .... In other words I would quit working.
