Adelaide Hills, Small Patch

[PhaseTech]

There was a spot that I had driven past hundreds of times over the years, and always in the back of my mind was some old timer telling me "I got a few bits there back in the SD days". 

But it just didn't "look" good. Well, I will never think that again! I decided to finally stop there after having a bad spell, and a bit of renewed interest in the GPX5000 teamed up with the 15" Evo coil. Well in short time I got 3 bits for 1.4 grams, and a heap of junk targets. I decided to go back for another look, but this time with a 12" Evo coil, and this was the next lot of finds:

Nice work rechecking your hole. Good pieces.

Thanks. Yeah that was super frustrating on the day. I think the nugget slipped back into the hole at some point and then I got a signal on that bit of ferrous off to the side of the hole. I couldn't work out why it appeared to keep moving, and then it was all of a sudden back under the dirt!! It all made sense after I filled the hole in and rechecked, and got another faint signal. Luckily the hole wasn't too deep! Got a couple more videos to come on future hunts at that patch. It was very fun while it lasted.

I learned that less in my area. Now I pull the dirt at least a foot from the hole. Then move the checked dirt to another pile off to the side, never back in the hole. Just never know if the is a deeper target. Plus some times it just seems gold wants to run from us. Good hunting.
