Well grasshopper (Simon) you are have past me in your google search abilities but is it a disappointment that profit is more important than good service. After all they are only batteries why do the have to rip of the uninformed to keep in business. By the way you will get an email from me for advice on avoiding rip offs on local tours in the land of tiny nuggets.😁

Keep up the good work ,it not the detector (those it does adds to the results) it is the effort, and keep the rest of us hyped up.

By the look of all of your photos you enjoy the history of your finds, and so do we.👍

But not looking forward to the last 2. A Man's Age - as Determined by a Trip to Bunning's (Bunning's is an Aus. large retail hardware outlet.) You are in the middle of some kind of project around the house --. Mowing the lawn, putting in a new fence, painting the living room or whatever. You are hot and sweaty, covered in dust, lawn clippings, dirt or paint. You have your old work clothes on. You know the outfit -- shorts with the hole in the crotch, old T-shirt with a stain from who-knows-what and an old pair of tennis shoes. Right in the middle of this great home improvement project you realise you need to run to Bunnings to get something to help complete the job. Depending on your age you might do the following: In your 20's: Stop what you are doing. Shave, take a shower, blow dry your hair, brush your teeth, floss and put on clean clothes. Check yourself in the mirror and flex. Add a dab of your favourite cologne because you never know, you just might meet some hot chick while standing in the checkout lane. And you went to school with the pretty girl running the register. In your 30's: Stop what you are doing, put on clean shorts and shirt. Change shoes. You married the hot chick so no need for much else. Wash your hands and comb your hair. Check yourself in the mirror. Still got it. Add a shot of your favourite cologne to cover the smell. The cute girl running the register is the kid sister to someone you went to school with. In your 40's: Stop what you are doing. Put on a teeshirt that is long enough to cover the hole in the crotch of your shorts. Put on different shoes and a hat. Wash your hands. Your bottle of Brut Cologne is almost empty so you don't want to waste any of it on a trip to Bunnings Check yourself in the mirror and do more sucking in than flexing. The hot young thing running the register is your daughter's age and you feel weird thinking she is spicy. In your 50's: Stop what you are doing. Put on a hat; wipe the dirt off your hands onto your shirt. Change shoes because you don't want to get dog c**p in your new sports car. Check yourself in the mirror and you swear not to wear that shirt anymore because it makes you look fat. The Cutie running the register smiles when she sees you coming and you think you still have it. Then you remember the hat you have on is from Gunmart's Bait Bar and it says, 'I Got Worms.' In your 60's: Stop what you are doing. No need for a hat anymore. Hose the dog c**p off your shoes. The mirror was shattered when you were in your 50's. You hope you have underwear on so nothing hangs out the hole in your pants. The girl running the register may be cute, but you don't have your glasses on so you are not sure. In your 70's: Stop what you are doing. Wait to go to Bunnings until the Chemist has your prescriptions ready, too. Don't even notice the dog c**p on your shoes. The young thing at the register stares at you and you realise your balls are hanging out the hole in your crotch. In your 80's: Stop what you are doing. Start again. Then stop again. Now you remember you need to go to Bunnings. Go to K-Mart instead and wander around trying to think what it is you are looking for. Fart out loud and you think someone called out your name. You went to school with the old lady who greeted you at the front door. In your 90's & beyond: What's a bundings ? Something for my garden? Where am I ? Who am I ? Why am I reading this ? Did I post it ? Did you? Who farted ?

it was well documented keep the phone ready for the next.

A gold bonanza is not easy unless all the factors line up. If you try different tactic and put in the effort it can be very rewarding. You have the reward that we enjoy your effort and to gold reward.

I went to a nude beach near Noosa Qld by accident. It was uneventful as the wife said they have no pockets to lose any coins, I agreed before any evident showed that I thought it was a nice beach.🤣

Joe if you want her to lose some weight ( not saying that she should 🥺) uses the dryer on extra high. It works with most women.😁

I liked the quotes below, should I look for the specimen or the 1 ton coin on my next trip.😕 While spectacular in nature, none have come close to replicating the Father's Day Vein, which produced more than 27,000 ounces from an area the size of a lounge room. King Henry adds to the 122-year-old mint's existing collection of rare gold specimens and its famous Australian Kangaroo One Tonne Gold Coin, estimated to be worth more than $60 million.

Look out no got dog Eat you.

Ran out of likes must be a good day.......Valens Legacy is on the ball a bikini it is the best fit for the occasion.

Whoops

My Dad was born in 1921 the coin I most want is the 1921/22 over stamped threepence. I did not succeed much to my disappointment. The 1922/1 overdate is the rarest silver pre-decimal coin issued for circulation. An estimate of only 900 have ever been minted making it more rare than the 1930 Penny which had approximately 3,000 coins minted. well luck was not with me this time but the battle continues to I die, but fate is against me.😭 1922/1 OVERDATE THREEPENCE GEORGE V EXTREMELY SCARCE AND RARE Sold Out $3,999.00 AUD

I found one of those years ago here in Aus. that was made from a sterling silver shilling. I was told they were done by hobby jewellers. I guess they are worth less than the silver value of the shilling silver as the drilled out the centre of the coin.

I like the ½Ton jeep for prospecting.

Found a video on the opening of the big mine from way back in the 1960. Major earthworks had to be done. So much for our small nugget extraction holes when detecting. https://fb.watch/5YaUf6-rQM/ There were heaps of bulldozers and hydraulic earth moving. I should mention all this work was done before the mine started to produce and the 100 & 210 ton trucks got there to move the ore.

Now that is one to display but you will have to lock it up if I get close 🧐

For a moment I thought you had found a full size vehicle at Rainbow Beach that fail to get out before tide change.😁

Some photos Practicing to jump the crocs ( really it was for the fallen coconuts trees) Old photo -young me. I am on the right side of the river. Wrong side of the river. I guess Carol was gamer or was it zoom lens. Some native Bougainville's going the other way on our hike to a gold mine. A local couple extracting some ore from their mine.

That was a great video clip and related to gold, thanks.👍 Some of the older natives in the village still use the Master term when I was there.

I was not fluent in it, language not being my strong point. There were many funny uses of Pidgin such as lik lik haus sik for hospital, die = sick and die pinish for dead.

Who has seen the videos of "Legend of Croc Gold" done in Bougainville Papua New Guinea and how did you get to see it (what links have you got to see it) I spent time there from Feb 1973 to Sep 1979 when I was young and fearless what a great and rewarding time it was for my family and self.

What a great looking Pendant.

Gerry I am a bit disappointed after spending half an hour standing on my head reading your post, that I am excluded because I live in Australia, but I will forgive you this time. 😭
