El Dorado Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Recently a client came by to share this detector found piece of gold so I could photograph it. It was found at 26" deep with a GPX5000 set in Fine Gold Timing. The enhanced timing did not even blink over it and it did not become a good sounding gold target until down about a foot. It is leaf gold for sure, but certainly the largest thickest piece I have ever seen. It was buried in cemented gravels, the ground was 100% virgin. One of the most unique natural pieces of gold I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
