Hi,
My father just returned from Moore Creek with the following report. 47 nuggets found weighing a total of 18.48 oz. But a whole lot of that was in a 6.63 oz nugget found by Paul from Bethel. Way to go Paul!
The GPX-4000 rocks at Moore Creek, with alll using it amazed by its ability to easily handle tough hot rocks previous Minelab models have difficulty with.
The results are getting pretty predictable. People who have over 100 hours of detecting experience and who detect regularly have a HUGE edge. They generally find gold daily. Those who are new to detecting or who only do it a couple times a year are lucky to find any nuggets in a week. In general the early weeks do well as they have the most experienced detectorists with results dropping off later as you get more and more novices.
We have made big improvements to the facilities and have started using our bulldozer and new excavator to help make finding gold easier.
Hopefully we will see some photos soon. I'm headed back to the mine Friday and will not be back until the 25th.
