Bit of luck with the 19" coil today

Wow, I hope it's a good one.

Hey gc and Betina, great stuff mate That shows great restraint to me to have your partner beside you to unearth this monster. That is very fitting in my view, either that or by the huffing and puffing on vid you just needed to head home for a cold one, Only joking you pair will be watching with interest. my best wishes it is a monster A big congrats before you finish the find as like you have already said, gold as sure as shat.

Do you have any elite coils for the older machines mate.......I would love to see the difference between one of the old mono's and the newer ones.

The wife still has a 4500 and I am thinking about upgrading some coils.

adrian this ground is under lease,inot hard to find out if ya know my name and then if ya can find this spot tonight well youd be superman,dont need to tell you what will happen if i find people camped there,weve had no probs so far,its not an old gold area really.....

Heart pounding stuff Goldchaser! Hope it's a clunker

Not sure about your closed captions on the video..reckon our overseas members will be a tad confused

Splendid!!    watching with much interest,    ............so now we wait eh  , 19 "gold porn!    enough to make your eyes water eh Joe !!       ,Good luck, I hope its a corker, lord knows...we could use a good news story round here thanks for taking the time to share .

Wayne.

Yeah mate, for sure. Hey hope you need the winch to pull that bad boy out tomorrow

It will be interesting to see how big this turns out to be. Pity he didn't turn the coil sideways, to not only give an idea of how much further he had to dig, but also to get a hint on the size . The signal does not seem to be broad enough to indicate a real big one, but it's tricky some times as the shape can throw you out. We shall see.

dont think its a clunker,winch lol dave,dont know what closed captions are sharkbait
 reg never heard of turning coil on its side,try it in the morning,that coil got a bit noisy in the heat this arv though,emi is worse then 14",nugget will be what it will be,,im guessing about an oz,biggest ive got in this area is 12grms......

oh you mean when ya get deeper and closer,pinpoint it a bit.....

Low rising tone, sort of wide ish. signal  Cannot tell how deep the hole yet is  but I reckon about 14g at 15 inches . ...Wouldn't have a clue actually

I say a pound at 33"  

The longer it is until we hear from him the deeper he is digging !! lets hope.

Is the sun up in the West yet?? C'mon Goldchaser,get out there man!

You've got a forum biting their collective finger nails here

  They could be out there now..  it would be 6:50am over there now.    Wouldn't it..

Pocket of iron encrusted calcrete grrrrrr
I was sure that was a deeper nugget,never heard it go off like that before,we couldnt get much out of the 45 with the other coils cause it wasnt fooling us,got down another foot and hit a solid pocket of calcrete,i went uh oh,have chased it before but never had a signal like that on it.

Sorry all but that detector and coil had me totally fooled

Bugger......sorry to hear that mate.......I can only imagine the disapointment

The joys of detecting....the highs the lows and the inbetweens.........

Awwwwww  what a bummer..

Thankyou for sharing with us all Dave.. 
maybe the next one will be a whopper of nugget..

Bad luck Dave & BJ. Just be happy your out there lifting your heart rate occasionally, and not in some shitty city somewhere sloth like in front of the telly. Were you running the detector in "Normal" soil timing. "Normal" loves hot rocks damn it!

cheers guys and gal's
 i found that in difficult,general,and sens on 8 harry,still sounded fantastic this morn,just off the edge of a patch also.....

G'day Dave,

I can feel your pain and disappointment sorry that it was nothing there, but I hope the next one will be the big one for you Dave & BJ.

Cheers.

Mike.

im ok thats prospecting mike,live an learn,was up early this morn though,might put some scrambled eggs on for brekky now

Wow mate! That does not help the 19 inch much hey.

It was a widish rising low tone and it sound good. You did the only thing you could do. No way anyone would walk away from that signal.
Now what do you do? There is a lot of hot calcrete out there.
Of course if ya had an Infinium it would have ID it for ya. 

Been there ....done that....

Aahhh well..them's the breaks take it on the chin and move on GC...Hope the next one is it!!

Thanks for taking the time Dave to post on the forum,it certainly sounded to me like a good dig me signal even though I don't own such a machine.Hope your next signal is golden.

That's a bit of a bugger mate, but there is no way to walk away and not dig those sounds.

Seems like you need to strap the 4500 and elite to your backpack just for checking.

cheers dave
