Chunky Gold on New Zealand's West Coast

Howdy folks,
I got out to do a bit of crevicing and nugget shooting on the West Coast of New Zealand. Some lovely scenery, history, and gold. What a great prospecting trip. Thanks for joining us,

Nice job, good to see Westcoast still giving out the shiny stuff 👍

Nice finds. Looks like Moonlight. Crazy the places gold can be found there, thanks to glacial push. Nice to see a pair of blue ducks there. There was one solitary one when I was there that was continually calling out for its mate that didn't seem to be around any more thanks to a certain government department capture programme.

Nice work bro, yeah nothing bigger as all that bedrock would have been detected over and over just small stuff other detectors have missed or stuff that had washed in recently, never the less still good gold for up there these days looks like you had a blast! It’s such a cool spot aye, we will have to go back sometime again. Good luck on your further ventures

Wow what a killer spot that equinox is awesome long as the ground ain’t too hot Way to go 👍🇺🇸

[@ryansrelics6375]

I've been very happy with the equinox and surprised at the small gold it finds. Hot ground can be a pain, but if its not too bad, turning down the sensitivity or cutting off iron can help. I've been able to pull 0.1-0.2g pieces off of some hot rhyolite bedrock in Arizona, but only in some places. In others a .38 bullet wont pick up at 1cm (1/2 inch) on hot ground.
