[QUOTE="Reg Wilson, post: 473920, member: 10941"] Recently saw a photo of a big slug (about 4 kilos) found not long ago at a depression era campsite in Victoria riddled with metallic rubbish. A six ounce piece led to a slow and meticulous clean up of the area, resulting in the recovery of the nugget. This was in a well known and supposedly 'flogged' big nugget site where the trashy area had been avoided for decades. The 'Beggary Lump' (86oz) was found at Wedderburn in a similar situation in the early eighties, and a 250 oz 'thumper' at Patchy flat near Dunolly in the early nineties. Candigger, the 38" coil is a mono, so the edge of the coil can be used to pinpoint once the target is out of the hole. A pinpointer is handy for when the target is still in the hole. [/QUOTE]
