Admin nuggethunting Posted May 14, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Hello All, Here is a great find from a customer and his wife that purchased a Minelab Equinox 800 recently. Read below - Quote It was our first time detecting in Idaho. We were detecting on aprivate claim in the miles and miles of dredge tailings with my newEquinox 800 in Gold Mode - discriminating signals below zero. Afterabout an hour and a half of digging through various trash Deb foundthis beautiful specimen about 60 feet from our vehicle. It weighs inat 18.8 oz and based on specific gravity testing has 6 ounces of gold!Deb named it the "Golden Potato" because she found it in Idaho (andit looks like a potato). This is her first big gold find andhopefully will not be her last. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Very nice find, those miles old dredge tailings offer great opportunity for those patient enough to hunt them. That must have been a wonderful evening around the campfire for her and everyone. Edited May 14, 2018 by Rod 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldies1955 Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Wow! Great find. Looks solid enough to slice it and make jewelry out of it. Tom H. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
