Weekend tiddlers

Enough to wet the whistle, and to keep me whistling, biggest  was 1.3g at a depth of the pin pointer.
nice clear signal with 14" elite, running audio in boost

cheers moredeep

1.3 grams at the depth of the pinpointer is pretty good going in anyone's book moredeep, well done.

Cheers Kon.

Thanks kon, fairly done over area as well, makes it more satisfying I guess.

cheers moredeep

Well done!

Thanks jen, good luck in the west.
cheers moredeep

well done moredeep, keep up the good work

cheers dave

Thanks dave, the arvo's have been awesome for detecting lately.
plus the reward of a beverage at the end tops it off.

cheers moredeep

Well done moredeep. You are doing better than me right now. I'm starting to forget what gold even looks like
wombat

yep I know that feeling well wombat, but the lure of cold frothy one at the end of a days detect keeps me going out regardless .
Some days I think I have left my detector in Pb mode[lead]{from the LATIN, PLUMBUM,, go figure??}

cheers moredeep

Nice looking gold mate cheers Pete.

FUNNY OLD DAY, I got sucked in by camouflaged hoop iron that was placed in a sapling, geez it gave a nice deep signal,it took me a couple of minutes to work out that it wasn't in the ground!!
[just like the old beer can someone has placed in a stump], gets me every time
so I wandered around the bush for a couple of hours with out any luck, then it was time to head home, and as fate has it I get a faint signal close to the car, low and behold
a point 7gmer,this happens quite often to me that I park on /near a tiddler, [THERE MUST BE A WORD FOR THAT, wander for kilometers then find the gold near the car??]
Any way you have to laugh

green bag in second picture indicates where the point 7gmer was found distance wise from my car.

cheers moredeep

On one of our trips north of Meekatharra I parked the ute near where I had found I bit the year before
my wife and myself geared up and I did my normal thing of heading off looking for new ground. After about 1/2 hr my wife called on the 2 way
to come back to the ute, she had found a 2gm and 5gm sun baker which were both close to the ute. I left her to her ground and wandered off
again only to be called back once again, this time she was holding a 90gm piece from the same area. Things got serious then and out came the chain to
start gridding. Over that day and the next we took 30 ounces, the largest 90 gms down to sub grammers and all within 50 mtrs of where I had parked the ute.

Cheers

wow that's freaky bushranger, what a patch!
its happened to me on quite a few occasions ,I think it's a case of the grass looks greener away from the car??and off I gallop
Must be a moral in it somewhere

cheers moredeep

Some nice chunky bits moredeep, very well done!

Thanks hoffs gold & pete, Strange little piece was the point seven, found amongst some old buck reef, no real indicators, no quartz shed just baron looking reef,
has me a little excited, could be a little more kicking around.
The point 7 gmer was detected under/through a rock maybe 8" thick

cheers moredeep

Very nice nuggies there moredeep. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

I’ve lost count of the times that has happened to me when I’ve gone for a big walk out from the vehicle for zilch and then found a nice nuggy with in a few meters from the vehicle on my way back.

Cheers.

Mike.

Thanks mike ,It's  a freaky thing parking on or just near the gold.
Here's a few more from this arvo's effort in the same spot, TIDDLER PATCH!

cheers  moredeep

Got out today to forget about this crazy world of ours,Popped on an 8" ?15/20 yr old super gold search coil that me old mate jack gave me [rip]and checked out some areas close to some power lines.
Wow what a change from swinging a 14 "coiltek, this little coil danced amongst the rocks and bushes like Rudolf Nureyev and sang quite nicely on these tiddlers.
pinged half a pull tab well over 30 cm deep, very impressed.
I'll continue for a while with this mighty little coil.

Cheers  moredeep

Nice finds there moredeep. That little old coil brings back some good memories for me with my first find with it on the SD2000 was a .5gr bit at a depth of 8” and sounded like an oz lump, it screamed so loudly. Thanks for sharing your finds.

Cheers.

Mike.

Thanks mike, the 8" sat in the shed for several years covered in dust until yesterday.
The depth and sound on sub grammers as you said is incredible ,will stick with it for a while.
May not need an xcoil after all  

cheers  moredeep

well, this little 8" is amazing , these are the tiddlers for today, one bit was in host rock,it revealed 3 bits with some flour gold as well.

cheers moredeep

Spent last weekend in sunny QLD, went for a dip as well [man boobs on show ], didn't see a single beach detectorist?? no coins any more??
Glad to get back to gloomy old vic, cold and raining perfect for wandering the bush in search for some tiddlers. 1.5 gms for w/end ,makes me happy

cheers  moredeep

We all know that not one coil can perform the best towards finding everything, but & regardless of age, there's always one coil produced/made, from every major coil manufacturer, which has the tendency to offer the best all round, power to weight ratio (so to speak) in performance, combined to ones detector. Finding that right coil which gives you the best all round performance/advantage for the job at hand, has always been the tricky part. Well done on the gold finds moredeep.

Cheers Kon.

Thanks kon,I just want to inspire every one to get out into the bush ,be it sub grammers to chunky nugs, it's good to be part of the hunt.
I now have 2 coils of choice ,I do get lazy eh but [that's Qld talk ].I usually leave the same coil on for many months at a time mainly because it's finding gold and I hate changing coils

cheers moredeep

Great bits moredeep, gotta love small coils for small gold, works a treat.

Cheers GG

Thanks GG, I will keep posting on weekend tiddlers for a little while yet; unless I have a bad w/end that is
I think that sub grammers are the new norm now [in vic] and we shouldn't be ashamed to show them off in public!!  
"BE PROUD OF THE TIDDLER"

cheers  moredeep

Proud indeed. Any tiddler found, on any an given day, in any gold bearing locality, can only be a good day.
On many an occasion, it was through the finding, of the odd rare bit of gold/tiddler, that led me to bigger & better tidings. So yeah, be proud of the tiddler

Cheers Kon.

slow old week end but a bit of colour .
Found a strange bit of rock not far from a quartzy reef that I pinged 2 tiddlers from,consisted of a tiny lump of silvery metal.Once crushed; one piece was magnetic the rest non metalic.
?tin ?lead ?zinc,any ideas???

CHEERS  MOREDEEP

last couple of outings mainly with the 8"coil close to power lines, plus 8" in and around very rocky areas .

cheers  moredeep

Nice tally there moredeep, going to take a dd to the powerlines? I’ll bet some one already has but congrats on your nice finds

Cheers GG
