That's interesting... theres a you tube clip where a bloke compares the gpx5000 with the atx extreme on a 5 OUNCE flat slug and the atx only just picked that up... At 18 inches... And did you find the smaller nuggets near the bigger one? Cos they aren't water worn at all. Just curious...

Can you take another pic with your camera, but add a ruler and see if you can get the pic clearer. Then I might make an offer. Cheers Trev
