[QUOTE="Dignit, post: 293917, member: 5167"] Well done BigWave. Shame I only managed half a day out. However, it was a great arvo out catching up with you all. No gold for me but certainly dug some great targets. One bullet head was in a natural riffle of vertically compressed shale ( or what ever it was). It was screaming and due to the riffle thought I was on to a ripper nugget. Another was a screamer in between the thick between two bushy shrubs, where no one had stuck there detector. At first I dug out a shotgun cartridge cap. Bugger I thought. However when I checked the hole I still had a strong target. I dug down another 6 or so inches and hit a tree root and a chunk of Quartz and started to get excited again. Had the 15" Evo on and the hole was quite big so got out the pin pointer. Within seconds I located the point right beside the tree root. With my scope I retrieved the target only to identify another bullet head. Double bugger! It was exciting! I always look at finds like this as a good thing. It means others hadn't been there. It was real nice ground and BigWave had found gold. Unfortunately for me I didn't strike it lucky. Until next time. Cheers Nice finds Bjay. Congrats [/QUOTE]
