DigDeep Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I recently got an 8" commander from Rob and decided to give it a try yesterday in some "hammered spots". I found 5 nuggets and the total weight only came to 1.14 grams. The smallest was only 1.8 grains!!! It is the smallest nugget I have ever found w/4500. Two nugs with GB OFF Sens Extra.

Admin nuggethunting Posted March 22, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hey DigDeep, Congrats on the new nugget additions. Kind of funny how some people say the Minelab's wont find small gold. Just goes to show that if you have a small Mono coil and set up your metal detector to target small gold, you can find them down to under a grain in size at or near the surface. I know I have hundreds of them here that I found over the last couple of years with the GPX-4000 and GPX-4500 that are under 2 grains in size. Smallest is about 0.7 grains and found right on top of the exposed bedrock with a Coiltek Joey Mono Searchcoil. Looking forward to seeing pictures. P.S. Took a customer out from Blythe, Ca this weekend. He is looking for other guys that hunt S. Cali., so I told him to contact you. Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
