There out there Bjay and a lot bigger. I reckon there's quite a few PA members that have found a lot bigger but chosen to keep it quiet :|

I dream about that stuff, thanks for sharing SC75 and having the presence of mind to take the photos.

I was happy to get a half a gram that someone else missed cause an unfilled hole was littered with small pieces of steel! That's the next level!

Cheers

Fantastic SC75, i'm getting giddy just looking at it. your second biggest in 17 months of detecting, you have the gift son. well done.

 

[Bjay]

Makes me think a bit( doesn't really hurt too much) you've been going at it about the same amount of time as I have and definitely have to revisit old areas where we first found gold. When I first found my first piece I knew nothing but has been a pretty steep learning curve since.congrats on the new find , it's what we all aim for but most will never find. I'm sure time and effort has rewarded you.

Thanks fellas
Yeah it was a screamer, it doesn't look that deep but it was around 23,24 inches.
I had it in General, sens 15, thresold 30.
Not only did a modern day prospector just missed it so did the old timers.The gully was worked in the 1860s, most of it sluiced out but these areas were worked frantically by the early miners and a lot of gold was missed. I just hope they missed a lot more haha.

That's a fabulous nugget SC75 and I too dream of one day pulling one of those out instead of the usual can. I guess a nugget like that would really go off on any decent detector but I'm interested to know what you're swinging?

SC75....... I am speechless....... I am without speech. (Quote from George off Seifeld).

What a stonker of a nugget!!!!!!! When I started reading your post I thought you were going to show us a tiddler.
That is the sort of piece we all (us mere mortals) aspire to find.
Congratulations on your efforts. You've inspired me for next weekend.

Rob.

What a ripper SC! Exciting to see those big lumps. Gotta be a few more there with your name on them

Cheers for sharing that one!

All the best,
Shauno.

 

[SC75]

Thanks again fellas, much appreciated.

Im swinging a 7000 Phil/Moneybox and going back it probably wasnt 23 inches deep, it was more around 19,20 inch.
I was a bit in shock to worry about the depth lol and my biggest BW was 408 grams.
I posted it in Shown n Tell over a year or so ago.

Total was 13ozt but after a SG test it weighed 11ozt. The one i just found was half the size in weight of gold, had a lot more quartz.

Bloody hell SC. Hanging onto my hat mate I'm yet to crack more than a 10 grammer after 4 years with the 4500 Still, I'm enjoying getting out there
