If you want to keep it give it a bath put simply you've got nothing to loose at the rate your going :Y: if it turns into multiple it won't be long before you replace it layful: :Y: ower:.

 

[Nothing Great]

Ha ha thanks I think.

I might give it a bath then RM. I dont plan on getting rid of them unless I need some cash to upgrade to a 7000!!!

 

[Skip]

You don't need a 7000!

Give it a bath because I think it will clean up real nice. Keep an eye on it and pull it out when you get the look without it breaking up. Look forward to meeting you at the PA camp. Will be keen to shake your hand in hope a bit of your good fortune rubs off ..... lol layful:

 

[Nothing Great]

Thanks for the advice brother. Thats a good idea because it is a good looking bit. Maybe just 3 or 4 hours and then take it out.
Same here looking forward to meeting everyone Saturday night.
Already packed the beers lol

Giving the specimen a hydrochloric acid bath as per suggestions. Hoping I dont wreck it.
Gave my half ouncer a good scrub with soapy water and a toothbrush. Going to leave it as is as I think its got character.

I would be putting that acid into a glass jar dont know how it go's with plastic .PP

 

[BigWave]

PET plastic is fine with HCL and HF.
NG. I would give them both an acid bath.Some nuggets look great with some iron, but I reckon yours would look better if you could see the embedded quartz!

My new PB!

I dont think I put these up in July when I found them. I did a trip out bush with my mate from WA for four nights. The result was just short of an ounce between us. Great trip. Detectors were Minelab 4500 with Coiltek 14 inch mono Elite and a Minelab 5000 with a Nugget Finder 14x9 evo coil. It has taken a while to learn the 4500 but Ive got a bit of a handle on it now and Im really happy with how it performs. Regards Rick

Said to myself I wasnt gunna post anymore photos after the p.a. trip.

Listening to Herman paid off though

 

[Bjay]

:Y: keep posting them pics. Definitely time to change the name. Well done.

Hi All

A few bits from the Amherst weekend.

The top two were with the 4500, 1.67g for the bigger one and the four small ones with the SDC.

Thanks to everyone for a great weekend.

Regards Anthony.

 

[hermann]

Well done "nothing great", Bugger, what did I say? can't remember.

 

[Nothing Great]

Thats ok Herman. I did plenty of listening.

Any chance you get to meet someone with vast knowledge such as yourself the ears need to be well and truly switched on

Hope to meet up with you in the bush again some day!

 

[Krugerrand]

Nice going AUaddict and Nothing Great
Good pics and please keep them coming, good inspiration for me and I'm sure many others.

Thanks again

Trecked a few hundred metres through the scrub off a rocky mountain trail, pretty remote ground, and some beautiful scenery.

This is a known gold area, so I thought I'd try my luck with the detector.

So, turns out this spot must have been a lot more popular some time ago.
I hate it when that happens.

Still found a gem of a camping spot :lol:
