[QUOTE="madtuna, post: 473603, member: 44"] First nugget with a detector was an 85gr solid little lump on the first day with my brand new XT17000. I bought it that morning and rushed straight out to Ophir, put batteries in it and was testing on bottle caps in the camping area on the oposite side of Summerhill CK at the crossing. This was not 5 feet from a wheelie bin. I had no real idea what I was doing, just waving it over visible rubbish and got a screaming signal I couldn't see. I kicked and scuffed the ground with my boot and out it popped, it would have all but been 3 pubes shy of a sunbaker. After that it was about 2 years till I found my next bit. [/QUOTE]
