⭐ Gold Detecting Show'n Tell

[snail]

Beautiful. Nice to know there is still gold out that way.

 

[Oldfella]

Thanks everyone, I am still coming to terms with it. I didn't expect it to be so big, considering the small stuff that I have only gotten from that area in the past.

Cheers

Have you gridded out the area and gone over it hard?

 

[Oldfella]

Yes, I have gridded the area, though I still have more to do and will try different coils. I found the area through a lot of research and it should keep me busy for a month or two

sounds good mate. guard that secret. is it a well known goldfield or a new discovery?

 

[Oldfella]

Mate, its on an old Gold field but in untouched ground and the area is not known to have produced any sizable nuggets

 

[bunyip]

Awesome find there old fella amazing piece of gold indeed

 

[Oldfella]

Thanks bunyip, have you checked your pm?

 

[dazza513]

Wow some great nuggets, will have to put my coin detector away for a while and start hitting the gold fields with a pi

 

[jimnyjerry]

Oldfella that is one amazing nugget

 

[RedDirtDigger]

A slug over 8 ounces from a northern NSW gold field, unheard of (almost), congratulations Oldfella. Your nugget maybe a record for the biggest nugget from the gold district you found it in....don't think the records from the 1800's from the districts up north mention many nuggets of that size.

Cheers RDD

Ripper nugget there. Nice uniform looking ground too, bet that bit banged in well!

 

[Oldfella]

Thanks for the comments, it was a good signal. The last few inches were hard to dig, almost cemented wash for want of a better word.

Top effort there mate! Bit of a surprise for the area - no need to travel far now :lol: Hopefully there is some more there waiting for you to find them - good luck.

 

[Oldfella]

Thanks mbasko, I hope my luck holds up with the area. I still like the Gulgong and surrounding area and use it as a good excuse to catch up with an old Mate of mine that lives there, though he hasn't been bitten by the gold bug ... Yet I still intend on working the area a bit more in Gulgong where I found the set of small nuggets a week ago, but that will have to wait for a few weeks now
