Northeast Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Certainly not my first finds but have been out today and might as well start an album. Especially with these beauties!! Now with a thread name like this you might think it will rival the Reg Wilson album?? Sadly you will be disappointed at present but don't worry as my plan is to start small so the gold in the album can do nothing but get bigger. A cunning stunt if ever I saw one Off an old area where the gold has been washed/rockered/something. Have found quite a few other little bits there but the one to the right of the echidna's nose would have to be the smallest. To give the non-Aussie's an idea the 5 cent piece is our smallest coin and on another Aussie gold forum really small gold is often measured against the nose of the echidna. Amazing to think the 14 inch coil can pick this stuff up. High yield, difficult, sensitivity 15, volume 1, B&Z booster working nicely Retirement.......a long way off at this rate.

SteveJJ Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Which detector's 14" coil found these? Zed or Monster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoPeg Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hi Steve...he used the Zed. I think the Monster's coils are 5" and elliptical 10". :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northeast Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 A quick session with Elusive today in the local hills. Having a bit of a look at a spot that he and his wife have found a few small pieces around the .5 to 1 gram mark with his SDC. He invited me to swing the Z over the tight little creek to see if we could pick up something deeper. Not 10 minutes and the Z sounded off nicely. .22 or a bit of gold by the sound. Sure enough, a nice piece of yella. Elusive's to keep but one that I can claim for the GPZ album It was a very thin, flat piece and we are guessing it was sitting on its side in a crevice. 1.575 gms on Elusive's scales. Really stormy around NE Vic today so almost impossible to try and detect the small pieces as the detector was constantly squeaking with EMI. A creek for another day with no storms and the threshold ramped to 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northeast Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Yes, there are bigger ones out there JW - but the plan with my album was to start small and get bigger. As per yesterdays finds my plan is working - mwahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 NE, You are getting bigger. The next part of the plan is to extend Elusive's patch far enough so you can keep what you find! We are normally directed to the fringes of the commercial operations to get the 'far between' pieces the old methods left behind. Mitchel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
