[QUOTE="Xadz, post: 641657, member: 4757"] Today was the day! I feel very lucky hitting even a small piece so early on in my detecting journey. I went out to a previous spot and decided to do it a little differently. I walked all the way up to the top of the hill and detected back towards my car. I covered 1/10th of the ground I usually would of by going super slow, I paid particular attention to any surface quartz or changes in ground after reading a few things on here. It was 5 hours later and I hit this little beauty as I was about to call it a day, about 3 inches deep after initially getting a nail and redetecting the hole! The excitement was unreal. I want to thank each and everyone of you who has posted in here, your information has been invaluable and I've learnt something from everyone. Don't have scales yet as I never expect to get gold so soon but I would put it roughly at 0.5g? Maybe a little more if I'm lucky :) [/QUOTE]
