Help Support Prospecting Australia:
Took a bit to separate this little piece from the pile. Found with a TDI Pro swinging an 8x6 Sadie, gain at a fraction under 9 o'clock, threshold @ 11 o'clock, GB @ 8-9 and running low conductor (smooth threshold, low and slow
).Ballarat region

I like the zoning in on the photo,...perhaps one last one that fills the screen would be nice to see(I take close-up photos of coins or parts thereof with the camera through a loupe),...as by then we all know its real size anyway and nobody will mistake it for a 1 tonner,...lovely nugget though.
It is fairly porous and has a little Quartz inclusion that is a bit hard to make out in the photo. TDI did well (and my ears I guess!) to pick it up. Was probably around an inch down after I took the first scrape to get rid of the organic surface debris.

Nundle, Hills of Gold, so they say.
10 hours detecting. You got to work for it, terrain for mountain goats.
SDC2300 weapon of choice. 0.7gms iron stone engulfed with gold I think.

Nice nugget RS; add the 10 hrs I put in for zip = 1/20hrs, happy to see you got rewarded for your efforts.
I might need to go back one day as is is a nice area to get the leg muscles in good shape. I had better luck with the sapphires and they definitely let the legs rest between mountain climbing sessions.

And his little brother next morning.
Any gold found with a detector in Nundle these days is a job well done. I have found reasonable gold panning there, but none by detector, but in all fairness, I had only done a couple of hours with my old Lobo and haven't been back since getting the 5000. May have to make a trip back there
Nice clunkers rs that sdc really produces

Thanks G0lddigg@,
Slow and steady. Digging heaps of rubbish but that's less rubbish that will be at any location when I go back. My pick scrapings are filled as well.
Learning more and more each time I go out. Would love to own a GPX5000 one day as well.
Would love to get down your way one day for SDC day out.
Cheers

is it just me or does the bigger one resemble your avatar?Retirement Stone said:
I see someone crouched over holding a pan when I look at it, maybe it's just getting late though and I'm sleep deprived :/
