Ripper SDC piece PhaseTech, one that slipped through the GPX/GPZ net or just a different area.
Cheers T.

Way too overgrown for the 14" Z coil, and have probably only given that specific area a bit of GPX attention. Maybe it was sitting upright??

Thanks walshie. It is mate. I dug up so much junk before i found it and i still remember the sound it gave off, i knew i was on to something that wasn't junk was different for sure.

So can ya tell us how deep it was SC?

Cheers

It was only 2 feet mate, it had a tree root grown around it. I had a little battle trying to get the nugget out from the root.

is that 408 or 40.8 ??

not that it matters great piece

It was 408g AF it was a little over 14 oz after a wet weight it weighed 11oz. Its hard to tell the size on the scales hears another pic.

What are you doing on here, I'd be out looking for its big brother

 

[SC75]

Haha yeah i been back there plenty of times, i don't think its got any brothers but i came across what looked like old detectors holes not to far away, maybe someone else scored the big brother.

You've made us all a bit jealous SC75. Wow what a way to start your hobby--hooked for life heh??

[SC75]

I don't mean to Jaros. Might be beginners luck and yes im hooked, i was hooked before i even started. and i enjoy digging up the old stuff the gold miners left behind, just not the nails.

[SC75]

To be honest i wasn't to sure posting it up especially that im only a beginner, just wanted to share my find on PS and thought it might inspire other people to find the big one because thats nothing compared whats out there.
