My finds with the SDC since end of 2016

Latest finds on the weekend.

Was aiming for 7 pieces, but that last one was ellusive. Was hoping to get my tally to an even 50 pieces of SA gold in 5 months.

Still amazes me that the SDC can find fly poo sized pieces of gold.

Mammoth effort Samrota, nice work. :Y:

I will be in Adelaide this weekend coming and hopefully get out searching for my 1st SA gold.

You inspire me that there is still gold here somewhere 8)

Good to some SA gold still coming to light, bet there was a few hours worth of detecting to come up with nearly 50 pieces.

 

[samrota]

30 odd pieces have been in the last 4 trips, but yes in the beginning many hours between colour.

Reassurance that I should keep gong with my sdc, clearly finding the little ones is purely relating to the ground I am covering - need to get out more.

Do you cover grassy ground, or are you always on baron ground without much grass/leaves etc?

Nice looking nuggets there Samrota 8) 8)

Clearing a spot of leaves and branches helps a lot. Get the coil right on the ground and go slowly.

Ground i cover varies from overgrown scrub, sides of tracks, and in dry creeks. SDC is perfect for all those nooks and crannies.

Headed to spot x yesterday for 3 hrs and scored 4 small pieces. This arvo got me 6 bits in 2 hrs. Best part was only finding 3 pieces of junk. Not too bad for short trips after work.

Top stuff mate

 

[samrota]

All these little pieces are adding up. This last lot weighed 1.5 grams for the 10 bits.

So that's a total of 59 pieces for 12 grams of SA gold.

 

[samrota]

With what I found on the weekend, my tally is now at 65 bits!

Tally so far.
