Thanks: 49 times Was thanked: 566 time(s) in 269 post(s)		cool nuggets GBM did you manage to get those small bits on the top left with your detector? I went out on the weekend and got 1.6g in about 10 small bits up at grahams place. One of the pieces was .5g so the rest must have been pretty small which shows the detector is working well! Nothing to write home about but was still a fun day.
		And now....On sandy beaches and muddy soil, rings and coins await my coil!
