skywatcher Way back in the 1980s I managed to work a similar patch with a Garrett Deepseekers ADS VLF detector. What I did was used the TR discrimination knob and tuned it to the black sand like normal method by TR knob and not the ground balance knob. This work good but had to dig every signal, and got a large number of Aus. coins from it that other could not work the spot.

Danger Danger - Very Important Read If You Are Married
geof_junk replied to Doc's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
I think you are wrong dig4gold as it looked like Doc was sucking up to the wife (boss) at maximum level. π€£ -
Gerry they found one of these recently (fossil)............. Some of the now-vanished kangaroo species were quite massive. The short-faced kangaroo Procoptodon goliah grew as tall as three metres and may have weighed more than 250 kilograms. .................... I am not sure how much of the 550 lb were in it's scrotum sacks but I am sure they are were too big for your usual photo session. π

Danger Danger - Very Important Read If You Are Married
geof_junk replied to Doc's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
My wife said I can swing it longer and heavier than her so have to do the floors so she can get a bit of time in getting her gold. -
You should have a photo with yourself next to the sign. π€©

Thanks for the update Steve. Would it help if we send you some bailing wire or duct tape. π -
A skunk day depends on what you are searching for. A speck, a "rattler in the poke", or a patch. My longest was 10 weeks (70+ days) of 10 hour days way back in 1980 when gold was everywhere. I look for patches and a week is common, but then i have days some times weeks and once or twice, months without a a skunk in sight at these patches.

I thought I had learnt my lesson along time ago when I dropped my glass Bex bottle and it smashed spreading all my specks everywhere. No, I used a prescription bottle and dropped it. This time it did not break, but I spent a few hours searching for it among all the similar white quartz rocks. Now I use a blue prescription bottle or a white one with a coloured lid. Your unit looks good and it won't break when dropped and the colour will standout at prospecting site if dropped.

Using Satellite Imagery In Search Gold
geof_junk replied to Renatsvarog's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
In the very early day of metal detecting (late 1970s ) in Victoria Aust. First it was Aerial Photo to find surfaced places. Google Earth was released (originally as EarthVierer 2001 ) and by using Government Databases it allowed more locations to be found easier. -
Gold Going Ballistic And I Love It!
geof_junk replied to jrbeatty's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Silver the poor mans gold, but the gain is better when the ballistics happen. -
Many years ago while bushwalking I came across the Red Robin mine in the Victorian Alps National Park in Vic. Australia International expert Professor Rick Sibson talks about how fluids, faults and earthquakes interact in the crust to form fault-hosted gold deposits. Ken Harris has mined a typical fault-hosted deposit at the Red Robin mine in the Alps of southeast Australia. Some interesting video of Ken Harris action in his 34 year effort.

The only 100% guarantee discrimination is a divining rod in one hand and a target sample in the other. π I think you are on the right track. The size of the target, the depth of the target, the response to the frequency of the target, the height of the ground of the coil, all tell a different story. Some people are better than others of reading them, but it is time for AI to catch up with us Experience Operators. π Lets hope that we get most of the good targets before AI allows any first timer get that advantage.
