Third time lucky "Gold"

[kris]

Last thursday was my third time out in the gold fields with the x-terra, on all three trips I only took the x-terra 70, and on purpose left my SD home so as to force myself to persevere and learn how to use the x-terra in mineralised ground, last thursday it payed off I found one small rough nugget about .25 gm and a specie.maybe with the same weight of gold in it.
I`m working a quartz reef area with a number of large heaps which are full of iron rubish I think some people had been there with SD/GP`s and given up on the trash gee this iron mask is a real winner under these conditions I was running ironmask 1. GB in tracking. sens 22. with under chin telex headphones.
I`ve done a little reseach on the area and found out 150 years ago when first worked the oldtimers were getting as much as 2-300 ozs to the ton from surface quartz reefs so I think it has some potential.

It must be very exciting to find raw gold..I have never seen a nugget

Well done on ya finds Kris, its good to see you hung in there with the 70 and finally found some yellow. I haven't been out much at all lately, life has been hectic for me having to move house is such a pain in the ass and trying to balance that with work and all is quite a headache. I'm sure if you keep hunting the area you will find more species, I'm hungry to get out again myself and hope I find some time real soon. Keep us updated on your ventures buddy! Have a good one.
Cheers!

Good to hear you got some yellow stuff with the Terra.
VLFs can still turn it on, a thing a lot of people have forgotten and as a result actually walk away from easily detectable VLF gold which is sometimes on the actual surface which PIs can sometimes be totally blind to. Good luck out there Kris.
