At Creswick i run on setting 4 and about 3 lights and at Amherst i run on 5 and 3 lights mate. Running at Creswick on number 5 is far too noisy and there's more hot rocks i reckon, but that's only my view, not saying others should do that. I went out to Creswick mid this week for the first time in about a month mate and got a couple of pieces, and today was my second trip in about a month. Bloody hard getting used to the noise again and i couldn't even do a full day i'm that out of detecting shape. :lol:

Got out for a day and a half before the uncle Arthur set in to bad. Three on the right were with the new 12 inch NF rest sdc.

that would on the top not the right

 

[tryhard1968]

Well done Scrounger, glad your going overseas leave some of that gold for the rest of use.

 

[tryhard1968]

Good work Bjay, agree the NF 12x7 is a good coil, picked one up last week as the SDC was in for repair and I was amazed with the sensitivity.

 

[Bjay]

Sorry should have mentioned it was the new 12 inch evolution round.

Just got home from Hill End, gave the back muscles a good workout on the Fuggets with the 4500 and SDC.

Failed to find a new patch, so set the vacuum cleaner to work and bagged a respectable number. 10 nugglets and 11 specimens. (photo to come)

... ......and I think they are getting even smaller.

Edit...... The haul

Anybody can find big nuggets Wal if you swing over them. It's a lot harder and takes more skill to ping those tiny suckers :lol: :lol: That should fire a few up :lol: Anyway, well done mate

 

[tryhard1968]

Well done WAl, agree those little suckers are very hard a nd shows that the ears are turned on,

 

[Stoppsy]

thanks guys, now that I have found gold at one end of the hill to the other and the sizes and shapes have shown a lot.. one end is small gold that's smooth, in the middle of the hillside had bit of mix smooth, rough small and not a bad size and ironstone started to come in the mixed with it, at the end the gold is rough, more ironstone mixed and bigger sized.. so i'll be working this hill for awhile by the looks and hope some deeper bigger gold comes out.. when I always find a bit of gold I check the gold out and see why and how the gold got there.. doing this will narrow it down to were it has come from.. once you located that area you can do very well out of it.. from this hill me and the wife have nelly hit half an ounce..
cheers

The key is to sweep the coil over the target between the EMI events. :lol: :lol: as you can see, they occur at regular intervals at Hill End.
