    When Finding Bigger Gold, Is It Best To Not Show It Off?

    I had a forum member start ringing and emailing me 3 months before his annual trip to the gold fields, carried on like the friendship was more important than the gold.  Every conversation included how we must go detecting together.

    hej Steve

    Good to see you well.Maybe we catch up one day- it would be just to have a cold beer.Take care and stay safe.

    Well done Phonix.

    Is has been a while since i went detecting in Aussieland.

    Was keen for a long long time.

    Finally back in Australia for  Easter and had a great trip with you.Always cheerish our trips together and i am amazed what you do with that 7000.

    Sure you are not leaving much behind it.

    Its a great nugget and great detecting skills to get it. I was not into it mentally yesterday but day before had a nugget and specie so happy with it.

     

    Wish you great gold  hunting trips and until next time take care and stay safe.

    Thanks for another great trip and lunch in the Best Bush setting in the world.

    Almost 40 Years Ago - The Hand Of Faith

    Unfortunatelly Kevin is lo longer with us but I had a pleasure to hear the story from him personally. And what story it was.It was in Clunes on our Yearly Miners and Prospecting association meeting few years back.On end of his story he told us when you leave the room I left tool boox next to the exit door.it has 27 kilos.Try to lift it.

    We are so blessed to be able to detect in Australia and to hear and meet so many great characters and legends of this hobby of ours.

    Thankyou for your stories, passion and advises on all forums you give us.

    Stay safe and dig everything.

    GPX 5000 Using " Bogene's Settings "

    in Minelab Metal Detectors

    Posted

    Hi BigSkyGuy,

    Just me preparing for that trip and thinking loud:

    As its relic hunting if any possibilities I take treasure hunting detector.

    Its great opportunity to go after many years to a site with potential  so I would try to make most of it.

    I used Gpx5000 many years in Australia for gold detecting.I tried Bogene settings  with and without  power lines  close.Didnt have much success.Did detect close to power lines and had lot of problems with EMI.even 30-50 meters far it was hard or near impossible to detect.One thing which I noticed helped was to put frequency very low.So try to do manually lower until you can detect or get to the level you can put up with it.

    Putting in cancel practically you dont have much depth and target has to be quite large.As Fred suggested DD coils are one of better options. I used 10x5 DD coil and it was great but smaller coil smaller area to cover and shallow.

    Hope you have fun.

    If you are treasure hunter buy or try equinox and you will be a very happy treaure hunter. Just my personal preference (I have 2 of them).

    Wish you luck.

    Stay safe and dig everything.

    A Little Quartz Speci

    I haven`t been posting any finds recently because, well, I haven`t been finding much.   I`ve been spending a fair bit of time in a area where years ago multi ounce nuggets were common, but most days I come home empty handed.     Today I got one of those "is that a signal or isn`t it?" targets.  I run very conservative settings now and because the detector runs so quiet I dig a lot more ground noise than I used too, I thought this was another one.  It was just the tiniest change in the threshold.  When I was down about 4" it was giving off that lovely electronic warbly signal I like and somewhere down about the 8 or nine inch mark this little speci popped out.

    Take care, stay safe and dig everything.

    Hi Dale

    Welcome to the forum.

    I am detecting in your neighbourhood when you come in Europe if you want to catch up for detect socially let me know.(send me a message if you prefer as I speak local languages as I was born here).Your mate Dave met me couple times and we got together in Cairns for a dinner and little chat. 

    I enjoy it as a hobby and its first time I use this type of detecting.Come across some very interesting things and some coins.

    It a hobby and I donate my finds to museums.Its a trill of find which doest it for me.

    Still I miss gold detecting in Australia.

    Good luck and look forward to see yours new videos.

    Good luck with it.

    I had it for a couple months and I am very happy with it.As I am at the moment in Europe I can not talk about gold nuggets finds but its fantastic on coins/gold in the sea and coins on land.

    Easy to set up and use.

    I am sure you will find a few nuggets with  it.

     

    Stay safe and dig all.
