Hello all, I got out with Chris today and hunted an area that we have been eyeballing for while. It is a long walk in and a longer walk out. The area is an old hand diggings and there was hardly any trash. I got my larger piece in the first few minutes and the next few came during the rest of the day. I was using my 3000/Sadie. Chris took a few hours to find his first piece, after that he did ok also. Chris was using his GB Pro/Ten inch coil. It was beautiful day with the high around sixty eight degrees. The hunting days are getting short already. Thanks, TRINITYAU/RAYMILLS

Thanks Ray for sharing another jim-dandy presentation. Looks like a great day out there, and great results... your nuggets look to be real chunky, congratulations to both of you!! :icon_thumleft:

Incidentally, kudos to you on the 1843 gold coin. How many times over the course of our detecting lives do we find a nice surprise so unexpectedly? It seems to happen too often to be mere coincidence, although of course your coin definitely falls into a different, elevated category. You earn and deserve every bit of success that comes your way... WTG.

Jim.

I love to see the gold and found the pictures of the spot to be very interesting. Were you finding the best stuff at the bottom or the sides with the cobbles?
