Admin nuggethunting Posted October 28, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hello All, Here are a few nuggets I turned up in some old spots within the last couple of weeks. Using the Minelab GPX-4500 Metal Detector and new Lightweight Coiltek Goldstalker series searchcoils over some old patches and placers. I've found a few more since, so will get them posted up soon also. Biggest gold nugget is 12.55 Dwt's found at approx. 16-inches deep. Smallest one shown is 0.9 Dwts. Total was right at 17 Dwt's worth of gold nuggets. Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gus in idaho Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Nice looking gold Rob.12.5 dwt. at 16" deep must have sounded pretty nice. What size coil were you swinging?Looks like pretty pure gold, any idea what the fineness in your area is?Gus- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen in MT Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hi Rob:A guy could get spoiled if that happened to many times. nice finds.Were you using the smaller goldstalker?? and how was the machine set. I know different areas require some different settings . Have you ever had a friend with same machine check targets before digging. Would be interesting to see what other guys are setting their machines at to see the variations. I wouldn't think there would be a big difference.Allen in MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
