Nice looking ground. Looks like there has been some pocket mining in that area the past?

Folks wanting to learn should study your pictures of the terrain. If they don't understand what they are seeing or what to do with that knowledge they should study your book. Lots of knowledge in that book for someone who wants to learn how to spot where gold will be found.

Thanks for sharing Ray. :thumbsup:

I bet a lot of people that see these wonderful pictures, wish that was their back yard :) Out of curiosity, how deep were the smaller nuggets?

Hello guys, the smaller pieces were found from six to ten inches with the GPZ. The GPZ is killer on this size gold. It is unbelievable how nice of a target response the 7000 puts out pieces like these.

Most of these areas are practically in my backyard, a ten minute drive or so.

Terry, I don't know if I should be happy or sad, is that suppose to "noteworthy" or "notworthy" ? LOL

Clay, that's one way to advertise, thanks. The entire local area is pocket ground. The pockets run in clay lines and ironstone lines, and from my own personal experience throw gold 1.3 lbs to grains in the entire general area. Lots of character to our local gold also.

Thanks all, TRINITYAU/RAYMILLS

I love the pictures, and whoever found the bottle, that's a cool find.

Thanks for the pictures of the gold as well. I'm amazed at the small stuff people are finding with the GPZ. I just wish they'd somehow figure out how to package their newest technology in a lighter package with a choice of coils as well.

If any of you haven't read Ray's book, get one and you'll learn some fine information that took Ray many years to distill, and you'll also tie into his learning from experienced miners he gleaned information from as well.

All the best,

Lanny
