checking your hole for further nuggets

i had the pleasure of learning something new recently when testing your hole for a possible second nugget.

i had just dug a 2.2grammer down about 15 inches, and as the 14x13 coil of the gpz7000 dictates a large hole to be dug, i had no trouble lowering the coil in the hole which was about 20 inches round at the top. no further target signal was heard.

i then had a light bulb moment, tilted the z coil VERTICAL and moved it around the sides of the big hole. BINGO i discovered a small subgrammer in the wall half way down, that i obviously couldnt hear from the surface.

first time this has happened to me, anybody else had this pleasure?... kev

I once came across five detector holes not filled in and out of the five three of them had a target and the biggest nugget left in there was 2.7 grams. So thank you out there.

wow, holes already dug and nuggets just awaiting to be picked up, must of been your lucky day

I have detected a second nugget in a hole I have dug before and had the pleasure of finding gold in holes left open by others a couple of times, pays to do your job properly

Just recently I got a nice drop tone with a tingle on the end of the signal with the 7000, I dug down about a foot and a half, and one target was out in the pile it was a long shape 2 grammer, and the larger signal still in the hole, I dug a further half a foot, a total depth of 2 feet and pulled out a 8 grammer.

This happened to me recently and managed to catch it on film. Enjoy.

I found my first bit with the Zed in someone else's scraping. I was hoping this information didn't get out yet, but yes, I now actively look for other peoples unfilled holes. The Zed just sniffs out things that other machines have dismissed as iffy. Can we keep it to ourselves?  

Yes Harry, loose lips sinks ships. keep it to ourselves all right, tell no one.

I recently had a patch invader so I left him to it, came back 3 days later and found all his hole not filled in I thought I would do the right thing and fill them in as I detected, to my surprise I found at least ten small nuggets left behind and I didn't have to dig. I scored at least 100 more bits after he left.
