⭐ Gold Detecting Show'n Tell

[Mackka]

Well done and I love the old black powder flask. I am sure it could tell a story or three.

The powder flask find was up there with the gold. Can only imagine the story/s behind it.
The little ornamental dragon hook was a nice find too, still with it in the same hole.

That little hook ibelieve is a Snake buckle. Great finds

I thought I'd share this video of a buddy finding a 72g specimen on our last trip to WA. Awesome find using the GPX 4500. It started as a very faint dubious signal. The video also includes a comparison of the GPX 6000 that fails to detect the specimen.

Not sure why they'd be using the elliptical NF 12x7 on that open ground & comparing it with a larger round coil which would go deeper by design?
Would of been fairer & more comparable with the 11" round or 17" elliptical.
A great find though & shows the GPX4500 is a great detector.

Just back from a week in lovely Tibooburra. The weather was great except for some unexpected steady overnight rain one night which curtailed our movements the next day or so.
Here’s the sunrise the morning before.

Not much weight to come home with, but its just icing on the cake

The old saying about a red sky in the morning being a shepherd's warning, seems to have held true in this case.
Nice to see some fresh colour and the rattle in the nugget jar would have made the long drive more than worthwhile.

Wonder how many of these ironstone clad nuggets have been discarded?
