Hi All PA'ers,
Its been a while since I posted any of my finds and I thought it about time I make more of an effort to share in my excitement
with others, and also help stir up that enthusiasm in everyone of us to get out and strike it lucky. After trolling thru some old 1939 mining reports [wow what a wealth of information] I decided to give a new spot a go. I did a recky of the area spending over an hour walking around and the big thing I noticed, lots of old timers workings and no detector holes . This meant one of 2 things, either all the gold was gone or no one has been out in recent times to detect the area. Myself personally I get very excited when I come across an area without modern detector holes. So off I set and within 1 minute I struck my first target a nice .5g pieces water worn. I kept working and yet another piece .2g water worn. It only got better the next target was about 18inches down a 5g piece water worn. At this stage I was a pig in Shite and the best was yet to come. Under a large dead tree branch a nice low high signal very subtle and easily missed. I cleared the area and 3feet and 1hr later out popped a whopping 20g piece [SG weight]. The best part of the day was I then had to race home and watch my sons Basketball team win 32-25 :Y: a great day in all.
Yet once again the power of the Z has amazed me the GPZ14 snagged this 20g piece @ 3feet in [High Yield/Difficult, Sensitivity 11] amazing for the coil size.
