Big Gold Nugget Found

The Big Gold Nugget story last article generated a lot of interest and I received a message that assured me the nugget was real, it weighed around 16 kg and found out of Siberia - but like I said I haven't seen it personally so I cant comment on the truth of the report.

I did get a photo of a beautiful nugget found up North and have asked for permission to publish the photo, if that permission is provided I will put it on the Metal Detector Finds - Pictures and Videos Page.

Just an interesting point too about sharing, I am surprised that with the number of readers of our monthly e-gold magazine and website that we do not have many people that have shared pictures of their gold finds.

If you have some pictures of your gold nugget finds make sure your share it and brag about it.

Its easy really just go to the Metal Detector Finds - Pictures and Videos page and fill in the Metal Detector Finds - Brag Page Form for your big gold nugget

Metal Detector Bags Now Available

Originally Udo and I designed and had this bag built for ourselves and got a few extra made for our readers.

We had no intention of getting any more made but the demand from the Metal Detecting Seminars from people when they saw the metal detector bag made us reconsider that stance and we have had some more made.

Here is a link to the Metal Detector Bags page WHICH IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO NEWSLETTER AND FACEBOOK SUBSCRIBERS

Metal Detector Bags - Designed by Prospectors for Prospectors

Just to refresh you memory on what we designed into the bag

  • Will take a Minelab 4500 or Minelab 5000 without having to separate the shafts.
  • Heavy Duty Water Resistant Canvas - It will last as long as your detector.
  • Padded to take the knocks.
  • Internal Thermal Layer to protect against heat.
