Good day All. Just got back from my first trip with the Townsville detecting club & guess what I found my first bit. a .6 gramme piece & then nothing for 6 more days but some of the other guys found some nice nuggets up to 14 gramme but at least I learned a lot & I must have dug over 150 targets mostlyboot tacks & somebullets. Cheers Greg |

Fantastic Greg, it is wonderful hearing you have found your first nugget!!!! Yes it is always amazing the number of targets we get that are not gold!! but at the sametime it teaches us a lot!! Let us know when you get your next nuggets as it will not be too long before that happens. All the best & keep swinging that detector. Cheers, Kath |

Greg I'll never forget the first peice of gold I found then after that it just seemed to flow with more pieces and bigger nuggets. If you can find 0.6gram pieces you can find anything - all you gotta do is walk over it. Good detecting Bill |
