Never mind Specific Gravity, my mind went instantly to "Smash and Grab" on that one BW. :lol:

For me, pretty much as fast as I could do the cancel on the SDC and get the coil on the ground on the very first day out with it (second week of release) and in the rain no less. First signal was a tiny little nug at an inch depth that more resembled wire gold and definitely took longer to...

That is some good news. Glad to hear you're on the mend. Taking out your negatives on the dirt is definitely a good proposition. I used to do that too. :Y: Hernia's are no fun. Went through that with my old man a few years back. He had a 6cm tear in the upper groin area which I think came from...

Nice one 20x! Always good to see a bit of colour kicking around. You never know whats coming up ahead! That sounds like opal fever setting in. Just be careful as the cure, like gold fever, gets harder and harder to find :D Haha! It's no easy feat to get a good photographic representation of...

Great shots 20x! Nice to see and read about the other important opal producing areas of Aus. Our old mining partner initially headed up from Melbourne to do a bit of mining at White Cliffs back in the early 70's. He got stuck here at the Ridge during the 74 floods after coming across for a...

I was in your boat also not too long ago Cazalla. Bogger really hit the nail on the head though. I wouldn't part with my SDC (or GPX5000) at all. I just decided to be a bit more patient and give a bit more over time to the old savings -and I'm lucky if I can get away twice a year into the...

We could probably do that in a few of those areas out there! It could just pay off nicely with a decent nug or two. Can't be any worse than removing those countless bits of lead shot and small junk from an area I guess? Anything's worth a shot. :Y: I guess we'll find out in a few weeks. Can't...

Been a fantastic series of videos so far MG. Those roadside nugs are beauties. The last 13.74gm one was a cracker! It's often the case of persistence paying dividends in an area that people tend to walk straight past or ignore due to trash. I'll never understand that thought process...

What a great time we live in scientifically. It's only certain that the Astronomy world will go into full overload once the new James Webb telescope is up and running in a couple of years. Makes me wonder if you can take an EL out on an entire planet? Haha! Fuel up the rockets and I'll grab...

Hi all, Just thought I'd share this idea with you all as some may not be aware that there are coil protector ideas and products for the 14" Zed coil. As it's a fairly expensive piece of kit, it's definitely worth protecting! I saw the professional coil protector on Mbasko's Zed last year (they...

Very nice nug SC! The Zed strikes again. Keep'em coming :Y: Cheers, Shauno.

Nice one Tryhard. Going to be exciting swinging for a new area! You've got a new subscriber :) Keep up the great work! Cheers, Shauno

Nice one Dam It! Gotta love the Zed. I'm with the others above in regards to the WM12 module usage time. It should last all day long. The Zed has always given up first. We generally start around 8am and go all day through until 6:30pm (with a half hour break for lunch and cuppa). Low battery...

Hi Plushy, Some good info given already here. I would also look at things like the shape and appearance of the gold. Is it sharp and 'reefy' looking, possibly from a Quartz reef source nearby or is it smooth and waterworn having most likely traveled from a good distance via an old alluvial...

What a bugger. :brokenh: Good depth though. Would've had me excited! What did it end up being MH? Some sort of oil lamp? Almost looks like the mushroom-shaped top from a galvanised fence post. Hope the next one is a big slug of yellow, mate! :D Regards, Shauno.

Looks like an interesting machine. Bit of a small introduction video on YouTube this morning. Shows a few little bits and pieces. Link Here: https://youtu.be/NRw7IUIJdlY Interesting that they added the text right at the end that says: 12 Nuggets in 45 Minutes - Jonathan Porter. Be good...

Well done Bjay! :o That's gonna make you smile for a while. What an absolute ripper of a nugget and not a bad way to break into the ounce club! One we all dream of stumbling onto :D Cheers, Shauno. +1 on the snake advice too Walshie. Seeing a few decent sized browns up this way lately.

Really nice finds gents, both lately and for the year's totals. Definitely making me very keen for the next trip out around mid year. :D Happy New Year to all here and let's make 2017 a golden one! All the best, Shauno.

This looks like a great little setup. It will be nice to see these included in, or with future SDC packages, even GPX packages. It's hard to go back once you've run a wireless setup. Just quietly, I'm betting they pulled idea from the old wireless SDC thread here ;) Regards, Shauno.

What a ripper SC! Exciting to see those big lumps. Gotta be a few more there with your name on them :D Cheers for sharing that one! All the best, Shauno.
