I have posted the following find on another forum and it feels like I am boasting to post it here too, but I have friends on both forums I detect with and am sharing it to you.

After only getting out for a couple half day detects during 2016 and finding only a few sub grammers I was a little depressed. I got out for 1/2 a day on Thursday with the 7000. I got a deep mellow signal we all like to hear, and after a hard 10 minute dig, a 101 gram piece came out from 20 inches down. Ugliest piece I have found and it will quickly end up at the refiners. Happy now and busting to get back to the spot ASAP.
Best of luck to all members chasing element 79 in 2016. Cheers RDD



 
Nice one RDD, I think the only time im going to see nuggets that size it in the morning straight after my coffee :) :) good to see mate.
 
Well done RDD that's definitely not a ugly piece to me. Got one of those nice signals myself last weekend a couple of meters from where I got 3 small bits, thought I was onto my first good piece only to find about 20 mins later a very ugly piece of tin, maybe next time.
