Hi dam it - you've got that SDC humming - well done.

 

[markgoldhunter]

my first time in beaufort and it took me 3 days to trouble the scorer but pretty happy now. the larger one is a bit over a gram, the round one got chucked in my pocket with all the other rubbish till I checked it out at the end of the day and the 2 on the right Heidi [aka mrs goldhunter] got with her sdc before me.

 

[dam it]

Very nice old mate
Not much can hide from the SDC

Found some time to get out on Monday to Heathcote , thanks to the weather being cooler and some free time , got these nice little species

 

[Chewy]

Beautiful species GH.

 

[G0lddigg@]

wow that's got a nice lustre to it.

 

[tryhard1968]

Goldhawk, awesome looking species, don't crush them.

 

[kawman]

I wonder where the reef they came from is/was..(may have been mined already)

Got to be happy with that.
Very nice!
Well done.

 

[scottlucky]

Well done
I am going to be up there Saturday so fingers crossed.
Last time I was there I got an 1855 penny token.
I left another signal nest to the hole as I had to make tracks.
looking forward to seeing if the old timer dropped anything else.

[Goldhawk]

Thanks all , I'm looking froward to the next session . Hopefully I'll have more to show ya's

 

[Dewalt]

Hopefully this is the right place to put this

Bought the 2300 Wednesday afternoon. Went to Jupiter creak today and actually found some gold. It was really weird as I had never detected for gold before and the first piece actually shocked me as I didn't really know if it was gold

So I gave it a lick, yep its yellow.
Swirled it around in my mouth, yep that's great. Tastes like dirt
Then nearly swallowed the bloody thing.
Still looking at it, mmm is it gold Pfft no idea. Ok il put it in my wallet just in case.

So later on, I go through the same process mmm . Two of them :0

So onwards, bloody hell. Same process. Then I finally dawns on me. I have found gold. Ya bloody HOOOOO.

Hahaha very good Dewalt, congratulations, I was there today too, by the police training area. I found, 2 parts of a press stud, a .22 shell, a nest of bull ants.....that hurt! And a couple bits of small metal, oh and a close encounter with a snake.
Not very productive, but got me out for the morning.
cheers,
Paul

Nice one, the first one I got I did battle with some bull ants and paid dearly for it but hey I was a happy chappie . I don't do snakes lucky for you.

[Guest]

I got a target in a bull ant nest....hope it wasnt the one I abandoned.
well done for recovering the yellow stuff.

Congrats Dewalt, well done.

Dewait
That's a great effort on your first time out with the SDC.
Some people take months to find gold when they start to detect.
Well done and congrats!
Awesome effort.
Cheers Dignit
