Yeah, come on Paul.......we want the video........

 Dave, I`m having a top barra year although lousy gold one...........even the tourists are leveling me..............coldest winter days I`ve spent on Hinchinbrook in memory but the barra have been on the chew.............which is weird but becoming the norm...........by the time Paul gets back over here we`ll be in closed barra season but I`ve one in the freezer for him and a few scales under the fileting table.

JW, learn the lingo .....by the time he returns home he`ll be able to sandpaper and bowl a mean underarm ball

Hey mate yeah that is strange, to cold in the gulf for Barra. Might even get out for a swing myself shortly, seeing Pauls gold is giving me itchy feet.☺️

Thx Dave and gang, 

all of you in Qld started this....

but I still haven’t got my Barra yet this year.... lolol

Not missing much mate, all the Barra are quite when it is cold, even the pro's that unload to us are catching bugger all ATM. Come on Vic looks like you need to pull your finger out mate.

Thx Vic... long time coming, but I reckon you gotta pay some dues to do well.... 

Lord knows I have had enough good people give me help thru this gold digging journey spanning the past 10 years!

I made a video, but we were pretty excited, I know I was anyway,! ... I would have to get Steve to bleep out some of the lingo we use here...lol?

A big congrats mate from all the Goldhound crew over here. It was always going to start getting bigger with your determination to hang in there, listen and learn. Goodonya  mate.

It's a crazy place that outback, backpacker murderers, baby eating dingoes, unimaginable heat, snakes, spiders, scorpions, rogue camels, car battery thieves.... any number of things could have taken him out or perhaps a local introduced him to XXXX, that'd kill any man.

We hope you're all good and doing well with the gold Paul.  I suspect you're just too busy finding big shiney rocks to head to town to try get free Wifi at McDonalds to bother updating the crew back on the internet.

Looks like your done your homework mate.☺️No mate he is all safe and well.

Hey Paul, good to see you made it over the other side of OZ all A OK. Make the most of it mate, cool climate, flat country, a very knowledgeable host. Have fun, and find some gold.?  PS,back from the USA, had a great time. Though the tipping side of things did my head in at times.

Good luck keeping him under control you guys

Yeah mate, could be a tall order that one. It's like letting a dog off the chain in a butcher shop ?.

Well  it is official...........l-the Yank is back

He rolled up in a new truck all knocked up ready to go detecting--

I think he is staying in my motorhome tonight--Already ate  me out of house and home for dinner!

Giving him over to Tremain tomorrow. Lol , great to see you back in the North buddy. ?

Look forward to catching you up soon mate.

Good onya Lunk, nice find.

Hi Doc, yeah I would agree with your post mate. You have done well explaining it in an overall prospective, well written. Cheers Dave.Merry xmas to all.

Hi JW and other members that have watched our vids. Yes you are right mate, we put them out there to show abit of what we do and hopefully some prospectors new and old could get something out of them to improve there chances of finding gold. And yes mate you hit the nail on the head, for NO personal gain.Anyway beside that we seem to have attracted a few unsavory prospectors along with a few mining interests that are acting in a backhand matter to try and secure our tenements.Have heaps of xids, but yeah now very reluctant to share on the web. Gold greed, still amazes me to what lengths some take. Sorry if this reply is off topic. Cheers Dave.  

Congrats mate a good day for sure  well done.

Hi MT, yeah mate they make life alot easier

I got a mate in Cairns who makes the trip quite often, will ask him which way he recommends.  Pretty sure he came across through Broken hill and across the nullabour last time, but the Great Central road past the big rock may be the most interesting for a tourist.

Dave is full of it too, everyone knows all the big gold is in north qld ?  That's why he's never been here, too much over there!

P.S Your always welcome as well Dave, double bed in the Meekatharra Hilton!  We can sit up at the boozer while Paul loads the dryblower ?

Thanks Trent, mate have had numerous offers over the years from various gold forum members to try my hand in WA . And I appreciate all that have offered  there Aussie generosity  Having some problems dragging myself off task in the North though, but very interested in the dry blower concept. On some our tenements we have a heavy clay that goes to pug when it hits water in a gold dish, I am leaning towards treating dry as it is nugget ground and would need a serious trommel,/ washer plant to treat some of the ground.  Then running the extract fines through a nelson at a separate location as is also very rich in fines x mag 10 in the samples taken. Interested to hear your thoughts on recovery on mega fines recovery from the dry blower mate. Cheers Dave. PS, yeah mate the boozer concept also sounds appealing

Hilton sounds fine...I am staying in one now in Houston... lol

I will begin to focus on this now...

And the saga continues

What do you think ....Dave and Vic..?

Sound like a good plan to me...

I may even take the Sooby out there....

With about 3 extra spare tires/wheels..

 

Hey mate sounds good, will give the sooby a good run from Cairns to Meekatharra. Have you had a chance to check out the logistics of the distance? Im a tad jealous Paul, never been to WA myself yet, and mate best you get that aircon button looked at. WA, home of the big gold in OZ.

Good to hear you had a successful trip Paul, very surprised you lasted prospecting with the hounds, they must have took it easy on you !

Drop me a message if you need a Queenslander induction to WA when you come over next, I have enough ground to keep you entertained for a while ?

Hi Trent, we accommodated Paul to the best of our abilities to have just a good time. To keep pace in what we normally do, no mate way off the mark.Saying that it would be a small percentage  in the prospecting community that could. He is a great bloke and and yeah Goldhounds have taken him under our wing in OZ along with Norvic, another successful prospector in the North.  Thats a generous offer mate from another true prospector in OZ.  Cheers bro.

Paul, you did not disappoint. Fantastic nugget collection. Well done!

Got to agree Randy, some nice pics there Paul..Boy did that little Subaru cover some country in a short period, 5 gold bearing areas in the North of Queensland that I know of.By the sounds he has many stores to tell over various gold fields when Paul finds the time to post. Anyway, all us Goldhounds enjoyed his company in the time he spent with us.

No way, oh........ ah......... unless they cover the floor with nuggetos. Although I`ve advertised it with a experienced Subaroo thrown in...............

I've evaluated the situation.  We have seen nearly the last of Nurse Paul.  He won't be hunting much up this way any more.

It won't be worth his TIME or energy.  Nothing will provide him with the excitement.

He'll start saving for next year to go back to his nuggie busters.

Mitchel

Hi Mitchel, I carn't assume what Paul will or will not do, but what I can fathom from talk in the camp at night he is keen to apply what he as absorbed  with his short time with us back home. I wish him all the best in  implying some of that back in the USA.. Cheers Dave.
