Hi All,
Just thought to update thread while the latest video is uploading to youtube.
Today was another day in the fields back to my favorite area. Day 37 - as we all know too well how the days can start off with a find in quick time, or some days scattered throughout, and other days nothing all day until very late. Or we just get the days with no yellow but an exciting amount of other targets to keep us going.
Sun almost down behind the mountains and there we are an absolute screaming target. 1 Foot Deep and this thing was blanking
1. Fair to assume it is a big piece of rust - hah why would you assume that, better than assuming its gold yeah. And there we are target in the hand
Well after I got this target out, there was another piece of rust just next to this target, when I had removed the target it must have broken into small pieces, so I went through the pile and got those out so I couldnt hear anymore.
I continued right next to this area just to the right maybe 100mm or so and another small signal in the ground.
2. And there we have it - right next to 5 or so pieces of junk
The sun was almost down and I thought today may just be the day when the consecutive finds at this area have me beat, but no. As mentioned stick to the course and just keep doing what you do and it will eventually be a gold target.
And hows that within 10 more seconds after I started swinging - to the right of this hole another target, this sound was almost like a 0.22 piece of lead on the surface. As I removed the target it was only 1 inch below the surface.
Trapped in white compacted clay - what could it be, its fair to say we know what this is. And the surprise when we crack it open to see how much gold could be in there.
3. Trapped in here and slowly broken apart to reveal the surprise
4. And there we are - I wasnt expecting it to be a solid little ball like this. I knew it gave a fair signal but it could have easily been a flat piece. Pretty cool when they come out solid.
5. All cleaned and ready to check under the microscope. I just need to clean some more of the white clay in the grooves.
Yeah so that was one of those days, found roughly 15 or more junk targets, button, lead, rust, bullet casings etc then that big rust patch with the gold right next to it.
Hope you enjoy the images.
Cheers M.G
