[QUOTE="axtyr, post: 659767, member: 2282"] Most of the pieces I have lost have been after photographing them then forgetting to put them in the bottle before picking up the detector and walking off flinging the gold who knows where. One piece the property owner dropped on me right next to the fence. No point trying to find that. All of those have been tiny pieces so no great loss. The biggest loss was with the Minelab 15000 back in ‘86. I wanted to test it in the back yard and buried a 3.6 gram piece in a plastic bag. All was good but when I dug the bag up I had cut the corner of it and the gold was in there. Never did find it no matter where I dug. It was my very first piece of gold too so that hurt even more. Regards Axtyr. [/QUOTE]
