First Gold with Fors Gold

Got out to Hill End for another day last Saturday, had a look around at some new spots and did ok on one of them.
On the last location of the day, the good women tells me she found a bit of gold....im thinking she found a wee bit, didn't expect it to weigh in at 2.1grams. Go the Fors gold.



The RACER did ok on the earlier spots tried, unfortunately for me, both items of interest have now been misplaced...the buckle i found im sure will turn up when we return due to it falling out of our camp kitchen after cleaning it. I know where it is.....and looking forward to getting back out there to retrieve it.
The other item i found was an early 1800s Snuff Box complete with Tobacco.?? This has simply been misplaced....very disappointing let me tell you as i looked forward to opening it.
Sh!t happens.

On the bright side, i did get a bit of gold using the bosses borrowed SDC....first time user, and first target...nice little .2gramer.
I would have taken a pic of it, but im in a bad mood cause i lost both my finds.

Oh "Bloody Hell" Narrawa you know full well that the GPZ would have found those nuggets so it's no big deal
I could not resist it!!!!!

Mate very well done to you sir I bet you were pleased to get that, any more details on the depth & such

Way to go Rainbow 

Gee Narrawa 
I would love to see the 1800s Snuff Box, as for Whats inside of it,  There may of been some yellow in it.. Fingers crossed, it's not just rust!
Hope you find it, and put a picture up.. Please.

Good news!!!
Yep, while looking for the lost snuff box i misplaced...it turned up right where i left it....there be the problem....age creeping up on me and could not remember where i left it till i found it....then i remembered.

It will be opened in a few days when i can break the seal without damage.....i'll post pics of the contents when this happens.

Nice little box. Is it heavy ????

If You are having memory troubles now 

Wait till you reach 50, 
you won't have a memory!  To give you any troubles  

Can't wait to see the unveiling

Lee, it wasn't me who got it mate...it was the other half. All good tho, she knows better than to do it again after the beating i gave her when we got home....not only that, she's not to touch my Nokta or Makro detectors ever again....and she's been banished from eating at the table.....iv taken away her toiletries and confiscated her left shoe. She is also sporting the imprint of my size 10 Mongrel boot on her @rse.

Having said that, it was found at 3" under power lines using the std 11x7" DD coil in factory preset BST mode.

Jen,
Nice little box. Is it heavy ????
It weights in at a healthy 16.1grams.

I cant remember if im having memory troubles?...if i am, then iv forgotten.

Can't wait to see the unveiling
If i suddenly get sick and die...it was anthrax. If the dead start walking, it was a virus. If aliens arrive in the form of complex machinery, it was an autobot beacon.
I you hear swear words not yet spoken by mortal man ...i spilled the contents upon opening. If that happens....the sun will NOT rise the following day i sh!t you not!!.

Quick get a radiation suit on and get it to a lab   just to be safe,  ,




Well done on your interesting finds, Narrawa,

Hope you find some goodies inside.

My bad I did notice that, but my eyes failed to tell my brain to tell my finger to type "She" Rainbow well done on your find
I guess it would have been quite a good signal @ 3" ?? hot ground or average?

Lee, it was in quiet ground, but under power lines and next to a phone line. Even the SDC had a little whinge about that location.

Good news tho.....went back to the spot we had a cuppa in to look for the lost buckle. And there it was....right on the ground where Rainbow dropped it fell out.
Got rained out for a while there yesty but managed a few finds in between the showers. The buckle on the left is the one i found/lost/found again....the one on the right was found yesty in our old spot which continues to give up the goods.
Found a few other items including current day coinage, not worthy of the pic tho......ok truth be told, i cant identify what they are/were, so best to leave them out.

Whilst I've got a GPX5000 , I'm still in the search for a VLF ( something better than my xterra 70 & Eureka ) to work in high junk / hot ground ,also pin pointers , ( something better than my pro find ) just wondering what the latest opinion is out there
