Lanny Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 They don't sell Oreos (or other food combinations) like that up here! All the best, Lanny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes much deeper than I thought and I think as deep as I need. I'm curious about the sound and the numbers. What were they? As to the 'oreo' ... I think of that as being black on the outside with a cream filling. I would think of it as a gold filled sugar donut. Mitchel Mitchel, The signal was clear and repeatable but not a "wower". I guess some folks might have walked past, but my ears listen to the ground and sounds it makes. #8 most of the time with an occasional #9. Funny, how some smaller 3 gram flat solid nuggets give a 12 or 13 reading and this one with over approx 1.5 ozt of gold in it read less? Most of the specimens in the area are #1 and occasional #2. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sure keep my ears warm when it is 20 degrees out. May not be the best quality or best sealing, but I like the sound and comfort. Sure there is a slight delay, but I know that. Some folks just like to complain and that is their right. I just like digging gold with an occasional complaint..its to pretty to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations! 3.47 ounce Moore Creek, Alaska gold specimen.... That photo reminds me of such a big difference in ground conditions and the preferred detectors to be used. Just a rock chuck down the road is Ganes Creek, AK and the VLF is King. Then go up the road to Moore and PI is preferred. So glad they make different models for us to use. Stunner of a find Steve.

Lanny Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 JW, nice comments, and solid gold advice about the slight shifts in threshold tones that far too many nugget shooters ignore or discount or just fail to grasp the essential nature of. Your advice is the one defining difference that makes the difference. As for you Gerry, that must have been a blood-pumping, heart-pounding moment, indeed!
