At last, my first (and only) bit of gold with detector. Spent 5 days prospecting around Dunolly, and did my best to rid the land of lead pellets.
I think the little bit of gold just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Some of the lead shot came out of holes where colleague had pulled a small nugget with GPX5000. Goes to show how the SDC2300 will pick up the small stuff - gold came in at 0.1g and smallest pellet came in at 0.15g; all between 1/2 inch and 5 inches.

BTW, there are 160 pellets in the photo.

Detecting your first bit of gold is a great feeling isn't it Well done mate, hope there are many more to come.

A few from the GT at the weekend, pity the map of OZ wasn't a few grams (or Ounces).
The long one reminds of some people I used to know ........
Cheers Tom.

Teemore which machine did you find these with the 2300 or the 4800?

Which machine do you prefer out of both?

Thanks for sharing.

 

[Teemore]

Hi Wolfau, thought you'd gone walkabout there for a while ......
They were all found with the SDC, 'the turd' was down about 6" hard up against a tree, not sure a bigger coil would have gotten in there.
Cheers T.

My oh my, I do like the Aussie one,.... but the long one looks like something found at the bottom of the long drop that starts with T and ends in URD(ha),... is that where you were heading with that one Teemore, or am I on the wrong track completely(I've had a few run ins with some of them myself at times),... but they are all long gone into the past now, and life is oh so sweet when they just go and live their lives somewhere else.

 

[Teemore]

Spot on there Silver ....... retirement cures all ill's.
Cheers T.

Another 'up against a tree nugget' I think minelab may need to add a line in the advertising about its ability to find nuggets next to trees, seems to be a lot of people finding them there with their SDCs.

I am also noticing this with some finds being made with the new GPZ7000.
