A Piece Not Found With A Minelab

[phoenix]

Around the time the Minelab Eureka Ace Dual came out I found this piece near Sofala in New South Wales with a Whites GoldMaster.   Neither my Minelab 16000 ground tracker or the Eureka Ace Dual can hear it and a GPX5000 with the new coils can`t hear it, but the 5000 with the 8" Commander can hear it at about 1".  It sg`s at 13 grams gold but I`ve never believed there`s 13 grams in it.  Most of the little pieces around it are connected electrically. cheers  Dave

Hey Dave

Thanks for the picture and the post. Come back when you got more show and tell.

I would trust the numbers and keep it as it is because that must be a pretty good find locally, right?

How did the 2300 & the Zed go on hitting on it?

hey JW.   Yeh mate the 7000 and 2300 can hear it no probs at about 6-7", but I found this piece way before either of those detectors were a glimmer in Minelabs eye.
Hey Mitchel
yeh mate I went back to that spot with every detector I owned after that up to the GPX4000 and never found another piece of gold there, and I`ll keep it as I found it because once you drop them in acid you can`t un drop them.
Thanks for your comments guys

That specimen looks very much like a few found at Ganes Creek, Alaska. A lot of people think it's ugly gold but I never saw anybody throw one back!

Those lonely finds are a bit frustrating. I tend to think their HAS to be more gold nearby but often no amount of effort finds anything but that one magic piece. Thanks for posting Dave.
