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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Wilson Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 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!)

fredmason Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I have to give Kudos to all the exceptional Aussies that have offered to meet up with Mitchel when he goes Down Under... However, you better be prepared, I expect him to find his third Find of a Lifetime! fred 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 It's a go. May 9th arrive and May 30 depart ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

mn90403 Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
