Condor's 2022 Australia Gold Adventure

[Rege-PA]

Steve, don`t get discouraged.  Full moon on Oct 9th, remember what I told you happens then. Oh, don`t forget to take your clothes off, them big ones will be coming to the top!

Today finishes 1 week of detecting.   We're still detecting the same patch and getting some gold every day.  There are literally hundreds of dig holes on this patch, so we're trying to concentrate on deeper zones with the Xcoil Concentric.  I ran the big 17" just as hot as I could in High Yield/Difficult.   Fortunately,  the Concentric runs pretty quiet in the hotrocks, but it's still a lot of audio to endure.  I burned out after 6 hrs, but it was the most productive day so far.  The tiny nuggets were killing me with pinpointing and hole size so after I had the hole opened up,  I started using the 6000 as a pinpointer.   The nuggets we're chasing are just out of range for the 6000.  

1 more day on this patch then off to greener pastures.   We're going to leave gold to find gold I think. 

2 days of photos,  I'm closing in on half oz.  Biggest 1.87 gram

More nice looking gold and they seem to be getting bigger.

I know that soon you will be finding some of the larger nuggets as you work the soil and maybe find enough to pay for the trip.

Good luck, stay safe, and good hunting.

The large one is in the dwt range at 1.2+ dwt (ie 20% larger) The next step is a ¼ ounce or bigger. 🤑
