Nice finds. My SDC is feeling a little neglected at the moment. Have to take her for a walk later in the week. I have the perfect spot in mind.

Now that's a nice tray!

Not real keen on the tray.......but the contents ......that a real sweet collection.

I have the perfect spot in mind.

Keep talking..... we can keep a secret.

Like the idea of second prize for the smallest piece. Wifey found a bit that doesn't register and looks like a tiny gold shot .cant put photo up cause says to big but have done before but I'm a bit of a tech mungbean.

Cant work out how to get my pic up it keeps saying file to large but got a awesome 15.14 grammer today at over 10 inches with sdc

That is one nice lump of gold

How did it sound and was it in virgin or turned over soil?

 

[Bjay]

I think I'd wet me pants if I found one like that. And be happy to do so.

Hey wally it was in a surfaced area just sounded like a nice small bit of gold or lead shot clear signal but once i got down 6 inches or so it absolutely screamed like trash.. another 5 inches or so and prying bedrock/shale apart out she came. Was good signal at that depth with sdc couldn't of missed it..

Beauty mate well done !

 

[SCROUNGER]

Beautifuuul. Well done mate, you've made a few of us very envious :lol:

 

[Shingles]

I think that's a good point to make. Larger nuggets can sound like trash on the sdc. Dig every target because you never know what your walking away from!

 

[josh086]

Thats exactly right shingles, i was still a good 5 inches or so away when i called it for trash but finished the dig anyway just to make sure.. sounded exactly the same as the 2 bits of trash before hand that took ages to dig out as they were similar depth and in the same ground. All 3 targets sounded the same from initial signal to bein in my hand. Dig EVERYTHING!!!

 

[I SEE GOLD]

Well done mate great find.

From a different angle it looks a bit like a rabbit that has been on the piss all night, sound asleep with a bit of a smile on its face.

Or hit in the guts by a 243 while doing what rabbits do best
