Nugget check on 4" coil
I ran across a small gold nugget I panned a few years ago. It is about half the size of a dried rice grain. I have it taped to a large piece of cardstock, and ran it past the 4" nugget coil hooked to my Pioneer 202. My machine gave a foil signal response, as long as this tiny nugget was touching the coil. I am greatly encouraged by this, and now am planning a nugget shooting trip to one of my favorite panning locations. I've had several dedicated gold machines in the past, and none of them did any better with this small nugget. I have yet to ever detect a nugget, but have dug bucket loads of bullets while nugget shooting, maybe this will be my time to get some of that "Yellow" lead.
