Ridge Runner Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Minelab says that a man and wife found 700 nuggets in 30 days with the SDC 2300 and all took place in Australia. It didn't say who it was but it sounds if it could be JP.Hey JP This has got all the makings of you. Could it be true ? Chuck Anders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkirkll Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 From the sound of the article it doesnt sound like JP because I am sure he has no worries about being anonymous-- and it was 5 weeks----Here is the beginning of the story--it is on the link above that Rob gave."A husband and wife (preferring to remain anonymous) from Victoria, Australia discovered 700 gold nugget pieces weighing a total of 73 grams while on a 5-week prospecting holiday in the remote hills of Central Western Australia. "So, i suppose all those little dinks do add up after all...... close to having their machine paid for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted October 21, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hey Paul, Ya, 700 small nuggets would be worth it. I have collected about 120 smaller nuggets now (all 4 Dwt's and under) with the SDC 2300 in the last 8-9 trips. I believe it's about 3.25 ounces now, plus or minus a few Dwt's. Most of these nuggets were found in places I have hunted before with the SD, GP and GPX. Some places the rain and weather conditions probably helped, but a good 1/4 to 1/2 were found in places I know I scanned before. A friend just purchased a SDC 2300 and went back over the same place he hunted that day with the GPX 5000 and Joey and found 5 he missed and picked up with the SDC. I'm hoping he will post the details this week on the forums. Congrats to the finds of the 700+ nuggets (I'm sure more by now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
