Hello again guys,

I went back to the area i was chaining yesterday and went for a walk for an hour finding nothing.
So I put the chain on and carried on chaining.

5 hours later 28 peices for 49.6 grams. The biggest is 20.1 grams.
I am still using the 24" mono nugget finder advantage coil.

The flies got the better of me so I will be back out tomorrow.

Hi ya Glen,

I am using the 24" elliptical coil.
In the next day or two I will be using the 14" elliptical coil.
All the pieces I found today were no deeper than 5".

Thanks for that M8! I take it you like to prospect with the 24"? I'm trying to decide between the NF and the Coiltek offerings.

Congratulations, You are going really well. Hell I'd even put up with the flies for a days tally like that. Hoping to find my own patch where no one else has been so i can try out everything i have learnt & still learning with different settings & coils, lay of the land etc. Again congrats
Cheers

Hello again, been a few days since my last entry.

I changed my 24" mono coil to my 14" mono coil and started to chain on the other side of my patch.

I ended up finding 34 pieces for a total of 20 grams this morning.

More to come I hope???????

That averages to a colour every 10 minutes or so.... must be nice!!
Sounds like every target is a purrty one.
Congrats REDBULLion.
Thats some stuff most of us can only dream of.
Thanks for photos and let us know how you get on?!

I am wondering whether there may be some bigger fish down deeper- might pay to go over with 24" round?
great stuff. What a Face

Roaring Days, I would have to think the choice between a Nugget Finder or a Coiltek would be a no brainer.......Nugget Finder would get my vote even though I use a coiltek 24" X 12" mono. That was because Nugget Finder hadnt made them back then. Mind you it still gobsmacks me to the small gold the coiltek 24 x 12 picks up but I havnt used the Nugget Finder, so may be a bit unfair of me to say that.

I think this is the smallest Piece I have found with my 24 x 12. .44 of a gram

A few other bits got on the same day

13.75 grammer

It pays to chain. 1385gramnugget

Great patch finder, nice & light for it size, still sensertive to small gold & covers a heap of ground. Can swing it all day with a hip stick. I am sure REDBULLion finds the same thing, & as he has done once a patch is found is to go back over it with smaller coils.

Happy hunting

Nice find there JW.

That is a rather big hole for a small target!!! All my pieces from this patch have been very shallow and on the surface.

Another piece i found this morning. Weighs 17.5 grams.

Still using the 4500 with a 14" coil.
