FUGGET!!!

[ColinD]

That's the worst thing about it... you always think it's an absolute brick of a nugget, so you get kicked in each *****, one for all the hard work fer nowt and the other for having your vision of a new life popped.

 

[ColinD]

F.P.L = Fugget **** Logic
Common sense should tell you it's probably a piece of cr@p, but worth a dig... but no.. in your mind it's always a Golden Boulder.

Had a Fugget a while back, dug down 1 ft seemed solid ground with some rock; did an iron check, all good, 1 1/2 ft and the ally top of a old beer can, Fugget.

Bloke I detected with today has a brother who thought he was digging some trash out, walked over it a few times before he decided to get rid of the bit of rubbish.....87oz.....fair dinkum.

 

[dam it]

:lol: No Fugget This weekend
Chose my areas a little better this time Deepest with the GPZ 70-80mm Brass boot ring sounded good :| till I seen it ....

 

[Jaros]

Oh well - Next time. :/

 

[dam it]

Wow this one sucked

Caught up with RMoutback last weekend at Maldon
Old Mate arrived 11;45 Saturday while I was in a dig about 8 inch down I know 8 inch Good timing .
Stopped for a chat and rest wow .
So back into it took it down about another 6 inch ...... and OH yer out of the hole ......
And it is another old round chineze chiniese china button .

The top FUGGET was my last target for Sunday . It SCREAMED
At about 400mm I was rooted :| :| and its still in the hole ....... By this time RM has walked over we had a bit of a chat and a laugh :lol:
And back to it ( help me Chuck Norris ) WOW by the time it was out of the hole I could stand in the hole and its over my Knee but its out of the hole
And its a ( oh joy ) another Old Pick Tip .................. dam it

 

[RM Outback]

Was a great time dam it, at least we ended up with 1each from Maldon.

On the way home I stopped at Heathcote and found my 1st specimen (gold in Ironstone) couldn't see it broke it open and turns out a kinder surprise

I will have to dig out some photos i have 3 bits that are even shaped like gold , sound like gold ,feel like gold and they all came from convincing positions like under the surface under a flat rock that has never seen daylight in the clay layer , one other was under a small stump that was still standing but 90% rotted away dead for 100 years.
Mostly distorted lead but one could be a booger of solder.

But still better that nails or wire they really wee me off.

If i had to rate fuggets from worst to best would be
Rust flakes
Foil
Wire
Modern junk
Nails
Iron
Lead
Brass shells
Unidentifiable trinkets
Recognisable but useless trinkets
Mining tools
Buttons
Anything with markings on it
MH 370
Coins

I am sure i missed some

Well rated AF, the coins aren't that prolific in my neck of the woods to be worthy of a rating. Any coin I've found is either worth keeping or hand it over to the fish and chip shop owner :lol:

 

[aussiefarmer]

Honestly i have only found modern coins yet, i probably should have listed my own pick or can of bourbon as i have on occasion dug a target then suddenly 2 or 3 more targets pop up then move before you realise you have made your own fugget moment :lol:

 

[Goldfield Joe]

Oh don't get me Fuggen started on this! Ok I've started... Farmer good to see I am not the only one who chases a Fugget only to realise it's actually me making the sounds. I dug for an actual target yesterday and thought, hmmm it's moving, as I moved around... Fug Me it was my phone in my pocket of my Yakka duds. What a tool! Took it out, re swung coil over original spot, retrieved target, damn it was a bullet Fugget!

 

[user 7222]

Dug a beautiful Fugget 3 feet down today with Martymoose, And BigWave. Reward was.......... VIC BITTERS CAN.

 

[BigWave]

Got us all excited though Patrick. You were digging like a hound from hell!!!
No way a VB can could have gotten down there!!!

 

[aussiefarmer]

this splattered projectile is one of the fuggets that had all the right tones warbles and placement

 

[dam it]

FUGGET
Got a Beauty today :lol: :|

Was about 700mm down in hard pack white clay and wash Very hard going .

 

[Bjay]

They do get the blood pumping for a while though. ya never know what the next one might be.

 

[patchfinder]

I found a horse shoe at 45cm depth, For half an hour I thought I had the nugget that would change my life.....I am still looking.

 

[Bjay]

It could well be there just waiting for you.
