[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 271389, member: 1695"] The article didn't mention a whisper at 12", he actually thought it sounded like a horse shoe (meaning loud). He also mentioned that he could just visually make out the very top of the nugget at 12", which sounds like it was sitting on end in the hole, which would only expose a relatively small cross section to the detector. I don't think he would want his personal GPZ pictured in the article, might give away his identity if using specific covers etc. Either that or he had it stripped down and cleaned for the photos. The nuggets have obviously been cleaned for a publicity shot (after the fact), reckon I'd do the same if it meant a few $$$ were coming my way from Minelab for a bit of a plug. :) [/QUOTE]
