CTX 3030 finds 2.88 ounce nugget in Spain

Success Story

Last week, I went out with my new CTX 3030 for some coin-shooting and to fine-tune the CTX 3030 to understand it better.

After a while, I decided to cross the river to get to another field and within 10 minutes I had a good audio signal with 11.30 to 12.31 on the screen.

I started digging a hole, nothing but stones and sand came out. The deeper I dug the better signal I got (more clear and louder); and finally, at 45-50 cm of depth I started to notice something sparkling.

At that moment i wasn't sure about what it was, but to my surprise, after unearthing it... jackpot!!! I was mesmerized to discover a huge gold nugget on the palm of my hand.

I couldn't believe my eyes! the size, the shape, the color and heavy weight of this nugget was so amazing!

The nugget has some quartz with really tiny gold veins running through the quartz. Beautiful to see how it is formed.

I've been doing some search about gold nuggets in Spain: it is not very common to find them there and, obviously, really rare to find them in this size.

I used the CTX 3030 in combination with the CTX 17 Smart Coil. In my opinion, a very good combination to find the big and deep targets.

Greetings and thanks for reading and watching.
