[Dignit]

Some recent adelaide hills bits. 0.29g with the 14x9" evo, 0.52g with 17x13" evo, 1.18g with 12" evo. Gpx5000 still sniffs them out

Nice finds Phasetech. Yeah the 5000's and 4500's still find plenty of gold.
Im sure there is a hell of a lot found each week that doesn't get posted.

Nice bits. Do you find bigger nuggets in the Adelaide hills or is it all smaller bits?

Nice looking nuggets Nenad good job. I was lucky enough to use a 12 inch Evo briefly at a meet a few weeks ago. What a great coil. Smooth as a baby's bum, and I really liked how easily it glided over the ground without hopping and bouncing over rocks and stuff. Think I'll have to get 1 when I can afford it.

I had a go at using the backpack as the harness and a hipstick just to lighten the load a bit,worked ok and I could take food , jacket etc.

All you boys are killing it out there, well done.
A300 i use my sons old school backpack and i just put the pick through the loop of the bag, it works good and you can carry food and water.
My wife thinks im a big dork. :|

No doubt we are all dorks but who cares, were happy

 

[A300]

Hi All,

This is my first find with my 10 yo boy. have been detecting beaches and parks for nearly a year now and enjoying it, so off we trotted to Maryborough to try our luck at some gold. A quick intro to the GPX 5000 and some great advice from the guys at the local shop and off we went. dug lots of holes(actually my son did (he loves swinging a pick!) lots of lead shot and small bits of iron kept revealing themselves but found this 50 metres away from the car. The look on both our eyes was priceless when this stone started to ping on the coil. we started washing away the dirt and saw that first sparkle. and that was it, a memory that will last forever.

Cant wait to get back out there.

[SteelPat]

Nice looking piece Peter. Well done.

 

[BigWave]

Love looking at these species. Well done to you both!

 

[SC75]

Good on you Peter. That is a memory you will never forget, especially having your son there. I have a 11 year old boy but haven't found any gold with him. End of the day it's about getting out and having good times together. All the best mate.

 

[Chewy]

Nice job Peter and son. Beautiful looking specie.

 

[Dignit]

Real Nice specie Peter & son. Great geology lesson in it as well. The gold insitu with quartz and other rock. Can certainly apprrciate the life long memory in finding the gold together. I'm looking forward to getting away with my 19 year old in July (Uni hols) and hopefully finding our first gold together. It will be memorable. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Dignit
