Nice going moredeep. Well done.

Cheers Kon

Thanks kon,I'm having fun

cheers moredeep

Nice work mate - nothing like the color of gold

thanks gemQ.
By the way Goldgasm I didn't answer your previous question,DD coil? ,I've not used one near power lines,whats the advantage? little 8 "mono going well under them.
Sold my large collection of SEVERAL DD coils when I got the 5000,thought they were worthless/useless

cheers moredeep

yeah well good point they are pretty useless, it takes a pretty special area that has been rich enough of a goldfield in the past to warrant using one,  using a dd closer to powerlines can be less fatiguing thats the main advantage. also goes into pseudo monoloop in ground councel setting because of the winding configuration but i no what your saying i'm inclined to use monos as close to powerlines as possible as well

Little 8" can be used right under small power lines,crank down rx and run audio in quiet,I don't think any thing would cope with the high voltage monster lines.

Nice little 1.5 gram nugg along with a tiny tiddler,but best of all was this moss covered whiskey/brandy/medicine bottle,an absolute beautiful find.
The old digger probably necked the contents to keep warm or tried to cure his ailment?

cheers moredeep

Gold is always nice to find, but an old cork top bottle (regardless of size/type) in good nick, is truly a bonus find there moredeep. Well done.

Cheers Kon.

Very nice nuggies and old bottle there Moredeep.      Congrats and thanks for sharing your nice finds.  

Cheers.

Went to an old favourite area thats been flogged to death,the two larger ones were picked up amongst some crazy hot rock.
The hot rock was full of iron, and if you could zoom in on it you could see a small quartz crystal in the middle of the hot rock plus lots of sparkly things in it as well
I think the recent rains have quietened the crazy hot ground a little making it a little easier to differentiate the real metallic targets?

cheers moredeep

mmm very nice gold, your camera brings out that buttery yellow colour for sure, cool hotrock aswell lol

GG

cheers GG ,i'll try and experiment with the macro camera lens to capture the close up of what makes up a hot rock,crazy world inside these iron stones.

Another beautiful day in central vic,5 tiddlers for the weekend.
Drove through town for a gander; ice cream shop full of tourists licking their little hearts out.
Decided to venture to the historic soon to be  UNESCO world heritage site GARFIELD WHEEL area today to check out the hundreds of tourist frolicking in the sun and the bush.
Guess what not a sole in sight, detected for 3 hours not one car went past ,drove back past the ice creamery and it was full of tourists soaking up the beautiful soon to be world heritage GOLDFIELDS!!!!
What a freaking joke. hope ye all had a good one

cheers  moredeep

Well done & keep them tiddlers coming moredeep. With the price of gold these days, we really can't afford to be leaving any form of colour behind.

Cheers Kon.

No worries kon,every tiddler gets its 5 minutes of fame


cheers moreddep

Went further afield today around moliagul area.
Come across a soft drink can and gave it the usual air test with the evo coil,yep a good five foot,coils working ok.
I kicked the can away and kept detecting.
30cm away got a screaming target which I thought was junk,I lifted the coil 30/40 cm off the ground and the target disappeared some what.
mmm I thought if it was junk it should be still screaming but it didn't ,might be a bit deeper.A few minutes later OMG a BIG tiddler:lol:  

Cheers moredeep

Oh wow! What a beauty congrats

Did you do the happy dance ?

Thanks Jen, I did a happy little heel kick,not quite the welcome stranger dance.
This 1/2 oz nugget may have been a distant relative of the stranger,who knows?

cheers moredeep

Superb going, well done & about time the tiddlers grew in size moredeep.

Cheers Kon.

Very true Kon,it has been awhile between drinks,I was thinking "bloody musket ball again"
Back to tiddler country today

cheers moredeep

Wow bloody beauty moredeep, congratulations   I am pumped now, the further you go into the gt the bigger the suprises can get.

Cheers GG

Thanks GG ,fairly well flogged area,wasn't expecting it,but hey isn't always the way,when you least expect it .

Cheers moredeep

It's been a little while,work,bloody flu and weather has limited the tiddlers.
Got a signal in this rock,looked like hot rock,on further inspection a glint of gold.
I put it through the dolly pot and panned it,10 bits all up for point 9gms.

Cheers moredeep

And few more from a previous outing including the 10 bits from the rock in previous post.

cheers  moredeep

Nice going moredeep, that mini welcome stranger, and then hot rocks that give up multiple little nuggets, excellent

cheers dave

Nice bits of colour. Well done moredeep.

Cheers Kon.

Thanks guys,I've been back to the 16gm site three times now and not a cracker more,go figure.
That's the nature of the gold beast I suppose.

cheers moredeep

Good work moredeep!

Your perseverance is pretty good. Nice to see a bit of gold come from what could have been "just" a hot rock.

I'm keeping the home fires burning on the members find section
I'll keep the weekend tiddlers going for  the rest of the year,then swap to the monthly tiddlers
3 little nugs in an area thought done,as you said detectist "it's all about perseverance"

cheers moredeep
