Weighed in at a total of .75gm and the two iron stones did not appear to have gold after preliminary break up but the did get a reading on the SDC.

No mate sorry not yet, on my bucket list but busy trying to find a gram+ with the SDC just to know the sound ......and the feel.

OK, just going back over some old posts and came across this one of yours, I know you've mentioned the gram plus in other posts.
Now I'm curious myself .....
here's the idea, let me know next time you're heading out (during the week for preference), I'll meet up with you and bring a gram sized nugget (may even try the 21 grammer), we can then test it (them) at various depths and settings to see what how the SDC reacts.

PM me if interested in giving it a go, we can then share the results.
Cheers Tom

Will pm you

Got out Saturday for a few hours 5minutes from home in bendigo Vic found 2little bits got eaten by mozzies was good to get out though cheers Muk.

finally worked out how to find bigger SDC nuggets



Before ........ and after my discovery

Hmmmm my thoughts exactly, sometimes flogging things with a hammer is the only way to go, gets results everytime be they good or bad, this time was a good result Wally.

Hammer time :lol: love it imagine the hand of faith smacked flat it would make a nice table cloth :lol: .

Need to wash todays find its my smallest sdc nugget yet , will post it tomorrow night

Got this one on the weekend.

Ill give you spot price for it lol

Smallest i have found with the SDC is 0.0681g. Found last Friday, about an inch down on the edge of a track. I have only deen detecting for 3 months, but learning quickly. Thanks Phil

Tiny one in the pic. Others range from 0.2g down.

Looking Good Phil, you must be doing something right.

Congrats, keep up the good work.

John.

Well done samrota, looks like a good track. Some people would go 3 years for that lot, modern technology (the SDC) has changed that.

Keep up the good work mate and work the area around the track :Y:

Good work Sam :Y:

I got a set that reads to 0.001grams or 0.0001 Ounces, the most they can weight is 50 grams, they came with the calibration weights but they are extremely sensitive, I bought them when I was testing Coils last year, even though they see bits so small I still have some test pieces that can't be weighed, I figured that I don't need to buy any scales that read smaller than those I already have,
