Few more from my patch, but its getting much harder now. Might have to wait until the dry season burn offs before I visit it again. Holes fill with water while I dig, and its so over grown Im sure Im only detecting about 30% of the area. These ones came off spots Ive already gone over 4 times.

Very nice Dave. I am surprised that the GPZ7000 is working for you in those conditions. I'm told that it's pretty much useless once the ground is wet. I hope we get to catch up latter in the year.

Just as well I dont know much about the zed, but as long as the emi from storms isnt around, it hums along nincley. Yes Phil, be great to finally meet up. :Y:

Haven't had any issues with either of our zeds (as yet) with wet, damp or highly mineralised ground, even EMI hasn't been an issue. Previously had many problems in the same areas with the 2300 and 5000 though. Zed problems: in high yield you get to many lead shot and, it loves to tell you tree roots are targets???

Tree roots! Lol can relate to that!
But wet ground has not been a real issue except for wet boots.

Hi Dave . Great looking pieces your showing. Would it be fair to say they are rough looking with some quartz attached.

Spot on, Josef Park, yes, all except one have been covered in a hard outer layer, some very hard to clean, some clean easy. Also about 5 speccies that I whacked with a hammer.

Good luck finding the source Dave

Must be just about on top of it I think.

A little Sunday Funday. .86g for the morning and ended up with 1.13g for the weekend.

Excellent work Patrick1
Mackka

Well done. :clap:

Nice result ..... thanks for posting.

Got to be happy with that :Y:
Good to see some fresh out of the ground gold :goldnugget:

Yeah that's what I call fun, bigger smaller I don't care but to have more than a couple to rattle is good fun erfect: :beer:

At no more gold of course.

Getting scarce and smaller close to home ..... time to look further afield .......

Had a couple of good short sessions out. All found with the gpz, except the top right was with the 4500 and 12" Evo.

I have a Detech 22" DD on the 4500 all the connections fit well -do you think it will work ok-the Deteck mob sent me one for the F1A4M2 so being Minelab I presume it will be ok on the gpx4500.

If it's the 21x17" SEF, then it'll work no problem at all.
