⭐ Gold Detecting Show'n Tell

[Heatho]

I don't want to answer for Nenad but I'm almost 100% sure he did mean sensitive extra. I've seen him write about itr before and I know there are quite a few others I've rerad about that use SE with great results in ground that allows it.

Spot on Heatho. What I meant was if you're in ground that allows Normal to be used, then unless you are expecting bits over 5g, then Sens Extra is going to be better. It can also run a bit smoother than Normal depending on the ground. I've used Sens Extra with good results with the 11" Commander, 15x12" Commander and 16" Advatange. I've also pulled a couple of good bits deep with the 17x13" Evo.

I was once using an 8" Mono in Sens Extra, got a faint signal. Switched to Fine Gold, nothing. Switched to Normal, still there but not as clear as S Extra. I had to take about 4 inches of dirt off before I could pick it up in Fine Gold. It was a chunky 0.7g bit. This was on white pipe clay heaps. In red clay you can expect the opposite.

But yes in hotter ground a DD will be required, and I've talked a lot about the 15" Ultimate in other threads.

Thanks for the clarification guys. Just wanting to make sure I have it right. Fully understand the point to consider SE when ground permits.
This what I love about this forum ...... continuous learning and fine tuning technique. Cheers

Yeah ...... one day I might be able to afford one all to myself. Retirement and a Zed are only 9 years away ...... given I can keep peddling that long. Cheers

Hi all, some of my recent finds.

smallest piece iv'e found with the 5000 and nf 14x9 advantage coil.

very close to source here.

 

[Mackka]

Well done RR.

 

[Rambling rude]

Thanks Mackka.

 

[RM Outback]

Great finds RR that small piece is impressive for the coil you were using. What depth did you find it, settings were spot on for that size :Y: that's SDC gold.

 

[Rambling rude]

G,day RM
It was a faint but consistent signal, rx gain 9 stabiliser 10 target vol 3. I use a booster box and speaker. approx 3-4 inches, it was out of the hole on the second scrape of the pick.

Got back to the spot from last weekend. Another nuglet 20m from the last. Solid possibly crystalline? Little .45g near Fryers Creek ish also picked up perfect little .1g button that I gave a mate that came along camping.

 

[Goldflower]

Last weeks find from the West, 4 day trip with two mates.

These first two pics are the combined catch.

This was my catch.

Great short trip with two good blokes.
