Some finished photos of a specci i recently found on my trip West. https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=19559&p=3
I have had it in Alibrite since i found it 6 weeks ago and all the host rock has now dissappeard :Y:
It was not the most visually appealing nugget when i dug it up, there is a small bit of gold showing at the very top and had a tiny bit sticking out the bottom which broke off

It was always going to break up when the host rock was removed but happy with how it came out in the display container

And the best thing, it came from someone else's unfilled hole.
I usually have a swing in any old detector holes i come across and over the spoils but the targets i have found previous are just the junk which must have originally been there. I dont mind doing my bit to clean the junk up so was surprised when this time paid off.
It was a strange, faint signal probrably because the gold was so wirery :Y:

 

[Wishfull]

Love that piece. Any idea what it weighed before the Alibrite bath ? :Y:

 

[Lesgold]

Pretty piece LORD. Well done. Looks far better than the specie you started with. Thanks for showing it.

Cheers

Les

 

[LORD]

Yep, it weighed just over 3 grams to start with i rough guessed around 2g of gold so was a bit out

 

[Lesgold]

It would have been interesting if you had performed an SG test on the piece before it went into acid.

Out with a mate today and he got a specimen from a hole he has detected before with his Macro Gold Racer. When he had finished I went over it with the 5000 and got a specimen with a small wire like piece of gold. Decided we would use the SDC to chech the hole and surrounding debris.
We pulled another nine specimens out for a total of about a gram. The SDC found gold where the 12" Evo could nor see it they are truly remarkable.

Hi BillS ,
Great pics and extremely interesting what the SDC could do , I have a lot of fun with mine . Interested to know what settings you prefer on the SDC . The thrill of the chase , you can't beat it and we're in the bush doing it .

Cheers

[Dignit]

Well done BillS.
There is no doubt the SDC finds small gold no other machine can.

 

[madtuna]

good going Bill, I'd actually give them a tap with something as they don't appear to be specimens rather small water worn nuggets trapped in conglomerate.

 

[Paul13]

Yep will agree with that: water worn in conglomerate.

Went few hours yesterday before work and find few small bits

Also took a video for curious people

[dam it]

Wow makes me feel like BillS
3 tiny nugglets for 0.160 gram
8.( 8.( it's been 13 days since anything over 5gram :lol: :lol:

 

[Westozadventures]

10 little ones for a morning swing yesterday. 1.50grams

 

[Sleckie74]

Gday went out for a couple hours this morning only managed the one piece the quartz busted off while giving it a clean up. Gpx5000 12evo about 3 down but was nice to find havent been out for 4 weeks :Y:

 

[madtuna]

Desided to take advantage of the almost full moon and cooler night a couple of nights back and went for a mid night swing.Managed to hit a little patch and came home with 24.6grams of tiddlers. Curious to see if it extends further.

 

[Chewy]

Very nice madtuna well done to all you guys. :Y:
