A Tesoro was being used with one of the last big finds over there.

There was a famous gold nugget find made in Australia decades ago, and it was later revealed that the finder was using a Compass. However, wanting to get the most out of it possible, I heard he shopped the story around a little ... shazam! It was found with a Garrett!

You never know until you hear from a witness or the actual finder/user gives an honest report.

In this case, I am interested to hearing more about the whole story as it sounds quite exciting. Was anything evident on the surface? How deep were the finds he initially made? What detector and coil was being used? Here's the photo I was sent.
