Third time out with this machine whites TDI and I've scored my first ever nugget. This time heathcote. Pretty chuffed. Mind you I also have a coffee cup full of buttons and bullets etc from today as well. Started the day on a raw note caught by a farmer on his land, thought it was crown land but apparently not. So moved on to a pretty flogged area with the hope for better, lots of trash and place looks like a tip. Then moved to a spot with very little if any workings and no detectorist had been there ever thats for sure. Wasn't getting my hopes up but kept digging each target mostly, then in an odd spot where i would of never picked gold would go, on top of a bank next to a creek but not in the creek, in very sandy easy dirt, about 2 inch down. Half a gram. Ripper

Nice goin walshie, P.K. and Picker, Its great to see some Vic colour showing up. I need to get out and get amongst it! I'm gettin withdrawls BAD. I need ta get me a smidge of that yella stuff :/
 
Well done mate. :p Nice and shiny too. Have you cleaned them up? There's plenty to go around so keep at it hey?
 
Thanks mate, was a good day. I have added some info on testing the SDC against me NF to a thread in Detector Accessories if you would like to see.

Mate I have no idea on how to clean gold.! The bigger piece has a nice shape and is rough, I'm sure it would come up a treat once clean.
 
They just look real shiny as though they've been cleaned up. Were you in the same area as the other days finds? I'll checkout the other post.
 
It was all the sucking out in the field mate! Ha ha. Same area as the other day mate. I'm looking forward to getting out and doing some hunting with the 5000 and NF around the same area. The problem with taking pictures on the phone and then having to down size them for PA unfortunately takes the quality or out of them.
 
Nice Nuggs Keano, you blokes are pretty consistent with those SDC's. I hope you can get a few more down a bit deeper with the Evolution.
