:D Pretty stoked about this. My 1st ever nugget detected all by my solo. https://www.prospectingaustralia.co...s/4646/1468593494_20160714_173633-240x427.jpg oh...and his mate who was hiding about a metre and half away. :D https://www.prospectingaustralia.co...s/4646/1468593559_20160714_180731-240x427.jpg found at Inglewood yesterday. I raked a patch and then turned on the detector and within 2 minutes had a target. Boom baby! 5 minutes later and the neighbour appeared. Thankyou umpires, thankyou ball boys. :D

Go Chewy. Hopefully now the drought has broken there will be many more to follow.

They looked better in real life.. :D
 
Caught up with a few of the PA boys on sat. Had an awesome day with sc75, chewy, Chuky boy and hard luck.
I only managed one bit for the day and sc75 got a few for the collection. Not the sort of ground I usually detect and it was great to have a crack in a new area.

I had an rdo today and went out to redeem myself after only getting one the other day haha.
About 10 mins in I got a signal in bedrock, spent 3 odd hours smashing it up for 20 nuggets which totaled just over 2 grams. Was hard yakka. Funnily enough it was as hard as rock (dad joke).

Here's a pic of the bedrock after I retrieved the first nugget or 3. I lost a few nugs in the process as well. I found one and then dropped it and couldn't find it again. I didn't bother looking too hard as there was still signals in the bedrock.

Here's a pic of the bedrock when I was done, my hands, arms and back copped a flogging lol.

Congrat to Chewy & Phil.
Well done guys. Seems once the gold gods smile on you for the first time the nugglets come easier from then on in..... or you become more confident & alert. 8)
