Hi all! So I have a Quickdraw2 and a Radio shack 63-3012. RS one was given to me, bought the QD2 for $99. Anyways went to work on the 4th July- only one there btw! So i decided to check the parking lot for change- always finding 3-4 pennies after it rains- and found this!! 1.605oz silver nugget!!! Massive Zaap on the silver side-Hit the $1/ .10 range every time, ive tested with TarneX and did a porcelain scratch test- all point to silver! Plus $.58 in dimes and pennies, not a bad day at work! Second photo is of a 4.58oz copper nugget found by Long Prairie, MN I found while looking for agates- was all green about 3-4yrs ago. I cleaned with TarnX, except for a small corner. Now its oxidizing again, except Now it shows something wonderful! GOLD!!!! Could never get a clear reading on the RS detector- always bounced between gold and copper, now i see why!
