Make a nice piece of jewelry I reckon.
Often there’s no obvious visible difference in the bedrock.

Got out to a great spot this weekend, one of the our best spots so far!
Got an aboslutelty mental test pan off the top and you knew it was going to be a great day when you look in the snuffer bottle and it is full of gold after the single pan.
Spent the morning digging out 10 buckets and got an aboslute mental show in the sluice and an insane cleanout one of our best trips yet, also got one of our biggest pieces yet a nice 0.2 gram picker/small nugget.

You are so right added Keiths wedding rings and awaiting a stylised manaia. Not sure how long to have the chain though?? Just hope my grand daughter likes it?

Hope all is well guys and gals.
We hit a patch over the weekend, 3.6 grams off about 50 metres of bedrock. Biggest is 1.25 grams.

very nice. What area?
Saturdays finds for a quick arvo detect.
Crazy small. Between .03 - .08 of a gram None were of any real depth. 2" max. Slightly deeper than the Gold Monster could “see” but Gold Monster type gold.
GPX 6000
Good luck out there

Sundays result for a days detecting up in the hills of Central Otago.
Biggest bit .45 of a gram, which isn’t very big.
The rest were between .02 & .17 of a gram. 21 bits all up.
Good luck out there

Being shut up at home ain’t much fun & as I can’t go detecting grazing the forums & youtube is about all to keep me sane. I thought I would share my Saturdays finds for something to do. Nothing to get really excited about but there are probably many of you in the same boat as me & getting cabin fever.
Two tiny bits & then the battery in my detector went flat. Bugger. I then realised I hadn’t charged it up from my two previous outings when I thought I had after the first of those two. Luckily I hadn’t gone too far from home so no Biggy.
On another note. My youngest son, Aydin, who was the only one of my 4 sons that showed any kind of interest in tagging along with me on gold missions when I lived in the Coromandel area, has moved to Aussie chasing pussy. Was in Brisbane but for some stupid brain fart reason has gone to live in Katherine in the Northern Territory. Has even bought a house there’ 
What has come from this is that he has got into gold detecting. Guess there isn’t much else to do when you drive out of town & surrounded by dessert for untold miles. He didn’t want to spend a fortune on a detector & settled on a Nox 800 & also got the little 6" coil for it. He sent me a text on Sunday to show me his finds.
So he is on the board & knows there is gold out there.

When are we going on a holiday!
I honestly have no interest in detecting for gold in Australia. Your place is much more attractive even though it has no gold. Maybe it is the company & the solitude & things that go BANG.
