[QUOTE="penfooey, post: 95905, member: 1654"] In our travels through Clermont QLD, Harro and I both found some gold using our GPX5000's. I have posted a pic of before, during and after cleaning. Total weight after cleaning is 12.8 grams. My first big nugget (well big for a beginner) came in at 8 g's before cleaning and 7.3 g's after cleaning. I dug about 1 1/2 feet to get it in really hard ground. Harro found the quartz samples which are pretty neat. Found a whole container of bullets, lead shot etc before finding any gold, so were excited when we found the real thing!!! We are getting quite used to the GPX's and have learnt so much and met many great folk while on the road.
