Weekend on the Turon

[Syndyne]

What an absolute ripper Chris!

Gotta love those bigger lumps. I'll bet that put a smile on the dial when it came out

All the best and good luck out there if you hit the area again.

That'll pay for about a quarter of the expenses for the last few prospecting trips, things busted, things needing fixing up, the girlfriend will want new shoes and a night out & a hair-do. Holy crap...being single is just the best thing ever invented.

Anyway, good find. Maybe next time you'll find a big one to show us.

I notice you said you miss your mind the most. I don't...I lost mine...and don't regret it a bit. It was so full of useless and pretentious crap.

Do you ever have anything positive to say ?

 

[GypsyGoldAu]

In all fairness GaryO....he did say this; "Holy crap...being single is just the best thing ever invented."

Oh....and this; "Anyway, good find."

But i guess this summaries it best; "you miss your mind the most. I don't...I lost mine..."

Lol....

Life's a bitch and then you die.. Oh well 8.( 8.( 8.(

Sorry, i couldn't help myself regards the above post. Some people just can't help themselves and continually want to rain on other peoples parade. See post #5.

[lookn4yellow]

[ChrisM]

Thanks for all the great comments guys [even the weird one earlier in the posts... ]
Still cant believe i cracked that beauty.
Digit is currently bathing in Ailbrite on a weeks holiday. I'll post up another pic later on when he's all clean and shiny
Hey Joe, your right it does look a bit like the middle finger salute....
You just never know where they're hiding. As Wal said to me many years ago. "No good thinking its a target.....just dig it and find out for sure !!"
Cheers

[nucopia]

Wow congrats
Lets hope there is more of the same on the way !

 

[GaryO]

Hey Chris , was it very deep ?
Just if it wasnt it gives hope to people with entry level machines that the odd one is about . You mentioned private property , hopefully that nugget is just a taste of plenty more in your spot.

My Guess is 51.55 grams if you surrender it for "Guess the Weight " :lol:

Oh and I think the last time we spoke you said that the troopie had to go, isn't that it in Dozers pic?

Hey Backcreek. Thanks for that.
I sent that pic to Dozer. I sold my old girl some months ago and looking for another troopy or 80 series this time with a turbo
The one in the pic is my mates a much later model than my old girl....

it ended up being about 8 to 10 inches deep but screamed like a banchee when the 17x13 went over it.
I don't know it all mate but I would have to say yes to your question. It would have woken up my old 2100 for sure.
Just gotta walk over them......
Cheers
ChrisM
