[bunyip]

Thanks guys ;-) and yes oldfella found with the 5000 I was swinging with you ;-) although its running much better now, you really do know how to tune these babies in mate thanks heaps for all your help and very well done on the haul you've pulled out very impressive indeed but next time your hear well hit some freshies that I've found that I'm sure have never had even a VLF run over them .. lots of nuggies to come for all I hope ;-)

Mate looking forward to it We enjoyed your company and the immense local area knowledge that you shared with us, some of which changed what I thought about some of my old areas, (that we will have to hit next time as well).

Cheers

Found 3 nuggets so far, all from the same old bench, on the East Fork of the San Gabriel river (north of Los Angeles, California). I really enjoy the drive to get out to the bush that nugget hunting provides. Hiking along the river is quite peaceful, not to mention cooling off in it after a few hours of beeping on the sunny hillside!
The first two are a grammer and a quarter ounce (7.8g). The third is 3.1 grams.

Good work SnJ, nice pieces

G'day SnJ, I have a cousin in Las Vegas that I am planning on visiting soon. Are there any goldfields within say 100 miles of the strip? What detector are you using there? Is Desert Outfitters good shop to buy your gear?
Nice gold mate.

Awesome bunyip, I keep seeing good gold in all my samples then realize it's wishful thinking, I dream of finding a piece like that, well done.

 

[Oldfella]

Top work mate, keep hauling it in

 

[bunyip]

G'day all. My First Gold !

After 12 hours of detecting over A few days at Jupiter Creek gold diggings finally today I got
my first piece of bling ! For the record I decided to work a boundary of the diggings with my SDC
directly under the power lines hoping to pick up a bit left over where the GPX's
may not have ventured , also found plenty of lead , a one cent piece ( pictured ) and a few old time
buckles , about 2 inches down , good solid signal on setting number 2 . The Chinese scales have not
arrived yet so I can not give a weight but feels like maybe .3 of a gram.

Thanks to all the advice on this forum .

Was very happy but sometimes things bring you back to Earth with a thud and a little piece
of gold means nothing !

RIP. Phillip Hughes. very sad day for sport and Australia

 

[Oldfella]

Your first bit, it's a great feeling isn't it Well done mate.

 

[silver]

Wow Bacchus, that is an actual piece,...not tiny bits, so it's definitely a little nugget,...first of many.

 

[bunyip]

Nice piece indeed n very good thinkin ;-)
