Havinago's Nokta Fors Core

[TTKooAu]

At our local bank there is a machine that anyone can walk up to and pour coins in. It sorts, counts and bags them for ya.

Yeah our local NAB has a coin machine, takes the embarrassment out of fronting with crud on your coins. Lucky we have an account. They charge non account holders 10% of the take!!

Gday swingers, after watching some diggers and reading Sandtas post I decided to brave the wind and sun and go and have a stroll in the park and Im glad I did went for about 6hrs, I got to use the nokta pointer and boy dont they make life a lot easier very happy , anyhow it was quite productive 7 x $2, 7 x $1 and 7c :lol: 1 x 5c and 2x 1c, a dirty old key and another bullet that is the same calibre as my last 2 only shorter Im presuming its younger than the other 2.

After reading Heathos post with his gold ring I decided too also dig a lot of lower id targets I lost count after about 20 but now Im sore and I dont have any gold and Im dreading the thought of how many Im going to have to dig before I see yellow

Cheers guys

Hope you get a nice gold ring soon mate, was just my lucky day the other day.

A mate and myself both bought Aldi detectors for a joke, very first time he detected with it he got an 18ct 7g gold ring, lucky bugger. First time I took him Sapphire hunting he got a 14ct stone...... Last time I took him up to Inverell and he whooped my butt again on the Sapphires, some people just have a knack for being lucky..... He is one of those people.

Hope you get a nice gold ring soon too Rod, you really deserve one for the effort you've put in this year.

I have a couple of spots that I like to go over regularly, I dig about a dozen low ID's or grunts, I figure by taking out some but not all they will eventually disappear off the machines radar. Digging all the trash at once would be a killer in some places.

I use the same theory. I have a couple of spots that will eventually have no metal in them

 

[Havinago]

Thats what i plan on doing digging it all up just not looking forward to it :lol:, there will be weeks worth of digging and my fingers are crossed that there is something nice waiting for me , I figure with the amount of coins i've found both PD's and spendables plus the 2 x silver rings there is bound to be a little bit of something golden if not it will be the cleanest park round town

 

[Heatho]

It's nearly always when you least expect it, every gold ring I've found was a bit of a shock. The one before the most recent I'd just got back from a gold trip the day before, got a few tiny nuggets but was not satisfied, so went down to one of my spots and last target of the day was a 9ct gold and Ruby signet ring, was way more gold in that than I found out in the goldfields, funny how things work sometimes.

 

[Havinago]

G'day swingers went for my first night hunt last night for about 2hrs and got a couple more PD's, I scored an 1879 penny, 1888 Penny, 1898 Penny, 1912 Penny and a 1925 Three pence, so I got myself a little bit more silver yay and i now have the Pennys soaking in olive oil, so they should clean up better than the photo shows . It was quite pleasurable last night with the change in weather and those silvers really do shine under some moonlight. The light on the nokta core is a real winner and so is the nokta pinpointer with its light without them you be up ***** creek. I don't know how you guys go about it at night but i took a white plastic bottle top to place where x marks the spot it made it quite easy to retrieve the targets, without having to keep a mental note of where it was. Thanks Havinago

 

[Ramjet]

Some nice early pennies and a very nice sixpence. great hunting.

I nearly went for my first night swing but it didn't happen lol glad you did and some finds at that cheers for the tip leaving a cap or marker

Thanks guys, just remember to use plastic as the marker :lol: and white really stood out without any light

Talking of plastic caps.. yesterday while detecting I stumbled across a Bower Bird nest. Ill upload a photo of it on my thread as its a wonderful thing to stumble across. They collect anything blue to decorate thier ground nest with. It just amazes me things like that. Sometimes more than a find.

 

[Goldpick]

Great spot you have there, really getting into the old coins now, and hopefully some older silver on the way. I generally just use the toe of my boot to keep the pinpointed location, though the white cap is good idea. A pinpointer is a must for night detecting, I'd certainly hate to try without one.

 

[Havinago]

G'day swingers, well i finally got to open my 2016 account today and it was just what i needed after being couped up in the house with all the bad weather as well as entertaining the outlaws, went out for about 3.5hrs and got a few coins to kick of the year. Cheers Havinago

 

[Ramjet]
