True they shouldn't be used as bulldozers, and very few are, but in saying that they should be sturdy enough to be continually scraped on the ground. I do this religiously and credit many of my nuggets to this method. I've run Nugget Finder Coils as my main coil choice for a very long time now...

Hope you find your pick Sauce and hope some gold comes your way soon. Keep us informed with your adventures and look forward to seeing your first nuggets with the new machine.

This Forum has many gem hunters amongst its members who are more than willing to help you out. Don't be shy to ask questions as that's the fastest way to get on top of identity and locations.

Welcome to the Forum Manoli and "Gypsy"...Malamute is the next best thing to a Golden Retriever when it comes to sniffing out gold hey. 🤔

How much more specific do I need to be... 🤔 🤣🤣🤣🤣..could paint an "X" on the ground but too many using drones these days to suss out spots. Even plead guilty myself. 🤔

You hit the nail on the head Rick with the statement "Similar surrounding areas with similar geology". Our new area is not a kilometre away from where we shot the above video, but if you had seen the new area you would have sworn it was the same location.:)

Thanks Rick, Just trying to expand the horizons for the newcomers who invest quite a few dollars on the latest detectors. Too many out there say all the "good gold" is gone , but that negative attitude doesn't help when there is in fact plenty of gold out there for those who do some homework and...

Not wrong there Diginit....if ever a time machine gets invented the first thing I'm going to pack is my detector and the first date I'm going to punch into the machine is1880. ☺️

You've got a lot of local history on your side mate :rolleyes: ....If I had the Wattle Gully mine under my house I recon I would have dug a tunnel in the garage and made a wine cellar in one of the shafts...and of course it would have consistently been expanded to add more bottles of wine...

Lot of ground getting fenced up these days unfortunately. :( If you did a lot of ferreting as a kid I'm sure you might have a few locations up your sleeve worth having a new look at. Good luck Diginit.

Love it when you get a piece next to someone's dig hole....even better when its in the same hole where they didn't recheck it. :)

I look at it like this....when you are getting into a PI machine it generally means you are about to get serious about detecting and hoping to get gold more consistently. The machine is your tool of the trade and as in any trade, it helps to invest in the best tools you can "afford", especially...

Good luck BD on the first adventure. Think positive and you might just get that first nugget in the GT mate. ;)

Well done Detrack....some nice pieces amongst that lot mate. 👍

That's not what you would call a great result for out there. What detector were you using John, and did you spend most of your time in the Common. Hope you have better luck on the next outing.

Not wrong there Vic...bull ants and spiders in your detecting boots will scare you more than a snake any time of the week. 😮

You have to put in some hard yards wilko when you find the point of entry for reef gold. In this particular vid we found the small feeder gully down which much of the prickly gold shed. Above this entry point only solid gold 🤔, not that I was complaining. We panned and detected up the gully till...

The big problem with the larger "Named" reefs is they were generally very rich and had a huge amount of effort put into them. A line of reefs following a fault line very often can go for a kilometre or more. I use this info to get an idea of where they are shedding but keep well away from them...

There's still plenty out there RM. A bit of effort with getting to know your area and a little effort in research goes a long way to getting some very positive results. I hate it when people say "All the good gold is gone"...It's not the case at all. The good gold is there for those who want to...

Reef or "Eluvial" Gold is in my opinion not given the attention it deserves amongst many detector operators. Finding the tell tail signs requires a different approach to hunting "Alluvial" gold nuggets within water courses. For Alluvial nuggets one mostly looks for bedrock within the range of...
