Great videos Rick, and yes I can understand a few F-Bombs under the circumstances Patches like this are few and far between these days. We all hope to someday uncover one :Y:

She's back......It's been a month since the new hip was installed and each day seems to be better than the last

Love the evil cackle after the big speckie was unearthed--don't blame you at all.....I think I'd be howling at the sky after a find like that-great work. :goldnugget:

 

[Araratgold]

Thanks for all the positive responses, and even the negative one from Mackka, can't please everyone !

Dignit : Yes private land that we have been fortunate enough to arrange access to. It has seen a lot of activity over the years, but the ZED got what was left !

Goldtruck 59 : ha, one day you will get to fly it !

Cheers,
Rick and Kaye

I was thinking park gold when I seen that nice cropped pasture lol.... was all great to see being found.... might have to cuss under your breath next time(just once at least) you get a giant nugget..... just so'se Mackka can follow the thrill at ease with no chance of choking on verbose excitement

 

[Nothing Great]

Thanks Muk,

I use normal where possible, even if I have to put up with a bit of ground noise. For quick swinging looking for that first piece I will mostly use general / difficult, then slow down and put it into normal to get those deep ones.

This paddock was broken down ironstone and quartz, so quite noisy, so I was using difficult. General gold setting, but will use high yield where small gold is found.
Sensitivity almost always above 16 ( in this case 18 ) and never use smoothing.

Auto, or semi auto GB. I think my threshold is at 25 from memory.

Basically, I run the machine as flat out as I can ! :Y:

Cheers, Rick

Sheep had mowed the paddock very well.
Thanks Silver, apparently some people are easily offended !

Nice rock!! :goldnugget:

Awesome vids. Araratgold,
I have actually seen the 137g speci vid on YT a few times and loved it. I reckon if I found a piece like that the language would be much the same....Possibly worse :lol: Anyhow top stuff mate, keep them coming :Y:

 

[Gravity]

Awesome finds well done and spot on with the Zed's settings :Y:

 

[Muk]

Thanks for the info Rick I will pass it on to my young bloke beautiful gold cheers Muk.

MASSIVE NUGGETS ON VIDEO

Thought I'd finally post this clip that was taken a few years ago.Part of a patch of rough, gnarly looking gold specimens that ended up going 118 ounces gross all up.
Big one was 39.2 ounces gross when scrubbed up ( 31.2 ounces at 96% pure after an acid bath ). The one dug on camera was 10 ounces gross when scrubbed up.
The odd person has labelled it fake, claiming I planted the nugget, simply because I scraped an X with the side of my boot into the ground to mark the center of the target ! If you look at my other existing videos from this paddock, you will notice that most of them I have marked the target with a boot scraped X ! You can see the covered in hole from the big one a couple of metres behind my feet.
After we dug the big one ( which we thought was going to be a big piece of farm junk ), we got the video camera from the car. Spewing we didn't get the biggest one on camera !
Was the middle of a wet winter, so the ground was nice and soft, and the sheep paddock looked like a golf green.
The farmer was very happy with his cut.
Anyway, hope you enjoy it.
Cheers, Rick

 

[Solid Luck]

I like it.
Very much.
