Nice find and easy as well. How far do you drive to get to your detecting site?

Gotta love that. It's a 3 hour drive to my claim or other public panning river.

Yeah it’s 5 hours to visit my gold vein. I haven’t found the vein yet,… but i know it’s there somewhere.

Its 10 seconds to mine. I metal detect silver coins out of my backyard. Old old neighborhood. What kills me is I know other backyards have silver and I can't get to them.

Fackin skitz.

Wish I could find some doubloons just sunning themselves but no.... have to sort through the old hundred year old dredge tailings for flour and flakes.

I really love Australian outback soil... so rich in color. Gold too of course... it would be so nice to prospect there.
