As anyone who has detected in the Apple Isle knows, nuggets can be very elusive. After several weeks of coming home empty handed, I nailed this 5.5gm clunker 12cm down in an 1870's mullock heap in the North East on the weekend. I had been finding a few lead slugs and shell cases and thought " here goes another one " as the signal sounded very similar to a 22 shell case. It seemed rather surreal as the nugget was revealed in the hole. 8)
I could not get any more signals in the heap so went to the car and brought back a rake. Clearing the leaf litter made a difference as I got two faint signals which turned out to be gold - a 0.15gm followed by a 0.18gm piece both at a depth of 5cm and not bad for a GPX5000 with the 11inch mono fitted.

Some very nice finds... extremely jealous.

 

[Jackthehound]

Well done Fox and may there be lots more to follow, don't under estimate the 11" mono it is a great coil

 

[Jaros]

Hi all, I found my first piece of gold today! It weighed in at 3.07 grams. Bought my White's TDI Pro Oz from the boys at Goldsearch in Dunolly on Friday 15/8 and this is the third time I have been able to get out there detecting. Amazing feeling finding the first nugget!! Found it with a Nugget Hunter 12X7 Advantage coil attached. Nugget, I hope you read this one, TDI has come up with the goods, not quite a WalnLiz find but very happy with my first. The best bit, it wasn't even 5km from my house, I live in Avoca in the Central Vic Goldfields, hopefully more to come!

 

[Goldpick]

Juicy looking nugget you got yourself there, before reading the description, I thought it was a monster ouncer! :lol: That should get Nugget drooling knowing it was found with the TDI Pro Oz.

 

[Goldfield Joe]

The Monster Ouncer will be my next find! Heres hoping... :lol:

Love the Whites also!

My GMT is the most versatile and deadly VLF on the market and one hell of a super snoop on the small stuff.........It laughs at heavy mineralized ground.

My prospecting partner has the TDI Pro Oz and he sleeps with it

Very pretty Nugg you have yourself there Goldfield Joe and a good size.....congrat's mate and well done!

PS.....Dont tell the GPX boys

 

[Goldfield Joe]

Thanks Metamorphic, I am really pleased, also considering I am a total Newbie obviously still learning the machine after owning it for only
a few days. Lots more to come I hope! I reckon this Gold Detecting business definitely requires a cup half full attitude

 

[HeadsUp]

yes Joe

mindset affects everything , so put yourself in to a positive mindset when you set out for the day using whatever method works for you

 

[heavymetal]

New spot I was checking out close to home. Dug holes all day without any luck and then pinged this little beauty just before home time ! :lol:

 

[RedDirtDigger]

Brilliant image of your nugget heavy metal. Well done. Finding gold in a new spot gets hopes up. hopefully a few more near by.
Cheers RDD

 

[Goldfield Joe]

Good Stuff heavymetal, its an awesome looking nugget!
