Ah yes, John Tully. Dunolly's resident historian and top bloke.

Also pioneering electronic prospector and finder of many sizeable pieces in the early days. Back in the day, you could see signs of where he had once surreptitiously scraped a patch or two with his little grey Fergy tractor.

His excellent published series of maps and books have led to many good finds over the years.

You never know Beatty, that record slug may just have our name on it. Looking forward to when you can get away from your farm, so we can get back to hunting for it.

If you guys do it sometime between the 9th and 29th of May I might be able to tag along for a day or two!

(I decided I should make that Australia trip this year before our new crop of politicians make it 'illegal' to waste energy - recreational travel-  and make a bigger carbon footprint!)

 Look forward to meeting up Mitch. I usually get away about then.

The weekend of May 25th our football team has a Bye.

There are no school holidays at that time.

I might have learnt how to use the QED by then  ?

I will lock in some days off if you are going to be in Victoria the whole time?

Northeast,

Thank you for the interest and offer.  I thank everyone as Fred said for the encouragement to come on down.  I do plan on all of the trip being a drive from Melbourne.  Nuggets are the primary target but I would also like to take a swing on a beach or two!

Nothing is set yet and as you suggested I'll start a separate thread to help put together an itinerary.

Mitchel
