hell yeah, recently in ballarat i think a dude dug a 156oz lump of quartz that contained 76oz of gold.
a cool $120000 worth.
lots to be had,90% of it would be small gram or so bits.

Found a lot of gold with a groundhog but haven't picked up a detector in over twenty years, is there still gold being found?

not really into hunting gold D.
old coins are what im after.

When you get that elusive nugget Im sure its going round your neck ala Mr T styling :)

budget or high end machine, it dont matter, as long as you know how to read the machine you should be all good.
ive found about half a kilo of silver coins with mine, not to mention the thousands of dollars in cold hard cash ive netted.

still waiting for that gold sovereign........

Metal detecting is my hobby, especially I love beach metal detecting myself! I have recently purchased CS3 MX. As it was a budget machine i did not expect it to be so good, but it is really powerful, and within ten minutes, I had found two coins in very damp sand at about eight inches depth.

My old man spent a fortune back in the late 70s and
early 80s buying the latest detectors money could get.
My brother and I found a bracelet at a park when playing
in the sand pit in 1976 and was worth over 6k back then
in gold and precious stones. It was just outside a
Greek Orthodox church full of Bling bling Grannies and
Dad never found anything better than we did.
Well except for the cat cigars :)
