It sure was DrDuck I also got a few more around 0.2-0.4 from the same crevice!!! Yet to find another crevice like it. After reading on the high point gold I think ill spend most of my time up above the creeks. Was out on sunday and run 4 pans to get around 0.25gs. Not the most productive day by...

Ive got my 3 biggest nuggets while panning from using this technique. 2.14g, 0.8g, and 0.64g, to my suprise was all in the one pan :) Either they were put there by a large flood considering the crevice I attacked was around 5 metrrs above creek level also the creek is about 10m wide in the area...

Thank you margaret that information is what I was after. Heading out very shortly and post how I go. Thanks again everyone

Thanks heaps guys much appreciated im thinking I may get out tomorrow as alot of the dense bush has just been burnt off making for much easier conditions!

Does anyone know how to set the gold bug pro when in a really highly mineralised area. Ive had it in all metal mode and ground balanced at 77 today and the nubers rarely went over 83-84 and most of the area stayed aboved 70 wth 3 or more bars for mineralization. Constant hot rock signals...

Thanks heaps margaret thats pretty much the exact sort of information im after its very helpful. How did u discriminate the trash out. Ive pulled alot of trash with it and they read very similar if not the same numbers on the screen. The gold I have been using as a test piece is 2g so ill get...

Thanks mate ill keep at it and eventually I will be lucky enough. I suppose its the same as panning it tool me months before I found a decent nugget. My biggest was 0.18g and then in one day from one good crevice I got a 2.14g and a couple just under 1g. Ive been picking up bullrt casings and...

Hey guys im using the gold bug pro with the 5 inch coil and so far have had no luck finding gold. I have been going on creeks and where I can see exposed bedrock also at old chinese diggings. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice. Also I would love to know how other users of the gold bug...

It wont post my photos but I will post how I go tomorrow while im out. Need a hunting buddy down this way!

Ill post a couple of photos of where I have been panning and getting good stuff but nothing as of yet with detector. If the wind holds off tomorrow I will make my way out. It took me a hour and a half to get to my spot because I had to clear the road of 4 fallen trees!

I dont think I have came across any slate areas yet but ill be keeping my eye out now. Is the hard concrete like stuff that has heaps of quartz all through it any good to detect. Its all around some of the old mine sites

Thats a good sign for me then ive got a few slug gun pellets aswell. Will be heading out again tomorrow out to bullumwaal again. Does anyone know this area and know where I could find some tailings?

What size coil do you run on your gold bug and what areas do you go searching?

Thanks heaps ill keep at it ive only been prospecting for around 8 months now and in the past 2 months panning I got just under 8 grams all up so i was stoked with that but always wanted to try a detector. I will order myself in the 10 inch coil so I can get some more penetration! Bedrock...

Hey guys im a rookie at using a detector I got myself a fisher gold bug pro ive only had it 6 days but been out every day to bullumwaal to old mining sites and along creek beds where I had found a nice 2g nuggets and 2 quartz gold specimens but so far ive had no luck with the detector only...
