I wanted to thank our good friend's Trevor (TWA) and his wife Hazel
in Western Australia. They are great folks. He sent me a picture of some of the gold he has found detecting. I think he said Hazel once found a 32 ounce nugget!!! :o WOW...Pretty nice! I'll ask if I can post her pic with it on a table. It's very cool.  His friend Matt Duncan in Australia also has a great website, check it out. http://www.goldnuggetexchange.com/index.html Like I said "Australia has great gold, and great people!

QUOTE (gold_tutor @ Dec 13 2003, 01:30 PM) No mystery why Hazel is grinning so big. Me? I'd settle for that wee one 2 in from the left  YOU GO, Girl!!! What did you use, and how deep down was it, and how did you get it so clean and sparkly. DETAILS you two, DEEEETAILS!!!!! :D I pulled 6 grams this week from one batch...that's in addition to the 10 grams the week before from another batch-- And I'm just loafin'. You've inspired me to put my pix up on another thread, since it wasn't from using an MD like you did, and I so admire. I did take delivery of a Tesoro Treasure Mate vibra probe this week and am putting it through its paces for the distributor. Nice looking, good heft gizmo. I'll keep you all posted. True confession time: I had to purchase the Aussie specimen below, feel darn fortunate to have it, don't have the heart to break open the quartz to see the rest of it...nice and hefty, so I KNOW there's more in there...but some of life just has to be a mystery, aye, mateys? :) Well Gold Tudor here is some answers to your questions: Firstly, Hazel was using a Minelab GT 16000 with a Coil that was made by Bob Hollins, who is another keen detectorist. The depth that Hazel found this at was only 4". The display on the table was only cleaned with warm soap and water. And she found 48 ounces in just over half an hour. These were found adjacent to the Mt Catherine area know as Yerrilla approximately 70 Klm south east of Kookine in Western Australia. Hope this answers most of your questions. Trevor & Hazel. |
