We hired a GPX5000
and it was down about 800mm. Amazing detector. We got another 22 pieces off this virgin patch we found. cheers Pete

Re:OH HAPPY DAYS
You beauty, extra special find Pete, congratulations.
Can you tell us some stretched out story of how you had been dragging the chain lately then stubbed your toe on something
and you looked down and there was blood and gold everywhere.
Always innerestin to hear the gory bits.
Cheers...and welcome to the forum and thnx for sharing.

Leave the detector on
We were walking from an Ironstone ridge to a loamy area 300m South, to do some detecting there. The three of us chatted away as we went.Fortunately we decided to keep the detector on as we walked. You guessed it, we got a signal as my mate stuck the detector somewhat carelessly under a bush.Little did we know at the time, that this 2 grammer was the first on a virgin patch which produced 24 bits including the big one and a 2 ounce nugget.Quite amazing, cheers Pete

That bit of gold is amazing. Such a beautiful piece. I am sure once shes clean she may even radiate as much sunshine as that big smile of yours. These are those jewels I was talking about, brilliant dedicated wise and happy people who are probably deeply connected to the land to find bits like that. I can only feel great happiness for you bloke, good work and good travels to you! Thanks so much for sharing it
