First one like a cream pie.

  yeh, shaped a bit like a kidney (stone)! 

I would not want to "pass one" that big when pissing on my coil to keep it cool  ... ssszzzz. "clink" szzzzz

Thanks Fish, I knew you would not let that milestone pass without a comment even if prompted.

Yes, time flies and so do birds, fish and mile-posts when you are going fast.

Cheers mate, Huego

Thanks Bugs,

It doesn't come easily, nor without a price! 
The more opinions you express the more opinionated you become or appear to be!..... sigh   

I look forward to others showing pics of their unusual nuggets or specimens.

Both very nice Stefan. The smaller smooth nugget looks almost artifical with such well defined gold /  ironstone or manganese oxide boundaries. Never seen anything like it.

Thanks for posting the pic. Quite easy and better than using photobucket or similar.

Cheers Huego

Perhaps not so Doug. In my experience using a Double D coil on an analog
Mine Lab detector with discrimination set at the max, the signal on such a gold enriched
specimen is still very positive, regardless of some uncertain blanking due to iron content. You would dig it for sure.

What about the proviso's of nugget depth, coil scan speed and standoff distance, ground mineralization level,nugget shape,nugget conductivity,maghemite/magnetite concentration or amount  with the nugget?Things must have improved because the discrimination on ML Pi detectors in my experience is as useless as tits on a bull and does not discriminate to anywhere near full depth! You can also get both false positives and false negatives! Other than digging how do you discriminate if as is mostly the case with the later detectors you are using a mono coil?

I'll second what Doug said above   

Discrimination?

No argument what so ever, It has very limited use, on any PI detector.
We all have dug some very deep holes with the all metal setting maxed out
with a DD coil only to find the blanking alerts us to rubbish six inches from the target.

The only real value  as we all know is when we detect in very high trash areas,
old camps etc, and gold is close by.

A point of interest, I have experienced  some blanking with a small mono on  a 4000
It had been left inadvertently with discrimination full on.  One wonders why this can't be exploited.

 And if in an area where gold is associated with and inclusive of ironstone why would you not dig a signal that indicated possible gold, by this I mean a hesitant or 50/50
stop start signal.  I guess these things come with experience, and the prospectors
ability to interpret  won from many long hours in the field.

DAN.

Here is a nugget that is a little bit unusual, weight was about 108 grams from memory and it came from an area where most of the gold was dendritic or so I have been informed by a geologist that was in the area at the time of location.

I called this one the Scorpion for obvious reasons. (I hope thisis the right picture)
