⭐ Gold Detecting Show'n Tell

[20x]

Met up with 20xwater this afternoon at Talbot.
My bits for the day

You win

There's always tomorrow mate

The big question is where that 'fluke' bit came from. Regardless of whether you found it in mullock/tailings or virgin ground, it looks to be rough, fragile material that can't have moved far from its source or it would have disintegrated. Prospecting can be a frustrating business, even when you find some gold!

Hey grubatake.
This was on the side of a very shallow tailings pile with some mullock heaps about 10 metres away.
Talking about it yesterday with 20xwater and it's possible it was a spill from a bucket or whatever the oldtimers were using to move dirt around.
The area is very well worked over and I reckon I just got lucky finding that bit of dirt there.

My stuff for today. Around Talbot.
Met up with 20xwater and tried a couple of places.
Lots of ground noise due to the very wet ground.

Here's what I got yesterday from a half a handful of dirt. Hope there's a few more handfuls today

Nice one Gary!!!

I think it is a cricket expression when talking about the GOAT.

Best thing I've found with the 17x13 NF on the 5000 is it doesn't hear small junk, so far I've got 2 big lead shot and every other target has been gold.
Target responce volume flat out, phase tech volume flat out with dual gme externals.
A possible target from surface isn't even a change in pitch, but 3 inches off everyone one tells the story..

This is the new zed search coil for the 7000, found a small bit with it a few days ago, it's pretty sensitive to small targets to.

That's an awesome specie, can't wait to see the cleaned version, should be a ripper piece.

It's falling apart in the acid.....hopefully, there will be a nice bit at the end, just not as big as I thought.
