A mate and I have just returned from our first trip to WA. Having spent 2 weeks prospecting we have returned with 10oz :-)

We are already planning our return trip.

Happy prospecting, firefly. :-)

Very nice finds mate. That would have been a real thrill, I'll bet.

Would you mind narrowing down the area a bit more than WA?? I don't ask for an "X" but do wonder the general area you were detecting.

It was approx 14 inches deep, 4500 with 12 inch NF coil. Front End Cap:Deep, Enhance, Fixed, Mono - RX 10, Stabilizer 7, Motion Slow, Audio Deep, Signal Peak 12, Target Vol 18. Ground was a bit noisy hence some of these settings.

Great finds there Firefly, The 8 Oz is one of the nicest looking nuggets i have ever seen, not quite smooth and enough character to make it really interesting.. Well done...! Looking forward to some more pics. Glad your not giving away your location, people need to find there own ;-)
