    456kg gold nugget found in Ghana whilst detecting

    Smigo, I'm with you. No way two or even three (one guy looks like he only had one hand on the side of it) of these skinny guys are going to flip around a 1000 pound rock or anything like that. OK, so I searched the world famous internet for this miraculous find. Nadda. It's the best kept...

    Very interesting. The big question will be how to mine it and make a profit. But good numbers none the less.

    Quartz arrangement gold gold lustrous substance that can be scratched off

    It's a quartz crystal with what looks like oxidized iron staining. Doubt very much it's gold. if the particles break apart when crushed it's not gold. Native gold is malleable.

    So while beach hunting, always getting stopped for questions about machines and detecting.

    I stop and chat for a bit, especially if they are kids. I'll drop a coin or something and let them hear the signals. I once had two little kids follow me. I finally hit on something and let one of them dig it up. Luckily it was a quarter. Now the other little kid wants one too. I had a...

    Mixing various stones to tumble

    My irrigation well is pretty shallow. I don't know how deep your well is. It's not common to find ammonia in drinking water wells because they are usually deeper but can be subject to surface water getting into them also. Fertilizer can have a lot of ammonia in it too, also if you're on a...

    Mixing various stones to tumble

    Well, you made me look up ammonia in domestic drinking water on Google. Seems ammonia is used in treating water to increase the effectiveness of chlorine that is also used. Now if you are on a well it can also be found in ground water. I would guess the tumbling is releasing it as a gas that...

    Frustration on the beach yesterday

    I was at Sunset Beach, NC yesterday with my ATX. Was getting a good signal when lady approaches me and want's to know if I am looking for sand crabs and sea life. I said no, looking for jewelry and coins. She hung around a bit and I dug up a wire sparkler from the sand. I took it over too...

    Stupid move with AT Gold

    The other day I was messing around on the patio with the Gold. I had it on and disconnected the coil connection, thinking it was the headphone adapter. This thing went nuts, as expected. Well, when I reconnect it it won't stop yelling at me. Did the usual reset, take out batteries, reset...

    Am I missing gold with the Pro?

    On another forum people were commenting to dig mid-tone solid signals to find more gold. I hunt mainly on salt water beaches. I have been skipping those tones as I thought the gold would ring a high tone. I do ignore the mid and deep tones when getting the grunting with iron audio on. Am I...
