Very true GB. Been on some goldfields many many times.Sometimes you get nothing, sometimes few nuggets. From my own experience its all in a head, If my mind is not ok i detect like a zombie.I think i can pass over anything i am just not there. I am 100% sure that most of us have a few monologues about our life in general when detecting.For some its way to clear our head and escape day to day life/problems. Some days these monologues make my detecting impossible. I would rather be somewhere else and in my mind i am better off not to detect. I rush , i walk fast, i dont concentrate on a detecting, i wave detector way too fast and i also get angry. I usually have a little break, sit down and enjoy peace which our bush offers. I clear my mind, pick up detector and find a few nuggets later. Remember low and slow is the way to go. My motto is Dig everything. Never dismiss any target unless you see it next to your feet on the ground.Still move the rubbish with your foot and wave the coil again.Many times you will find gold this way. As you pick up a nugget stop for a second and always ask yourself first: where did it come from. Good luck and stay safe. GoldEN .

Been there only once with a group of 20 of us as a social detecting day out. Only one person found only sole nugget :) Our leader was a guy who found 600 ounces patch there. I think from Memory there is Californian gully there which goes over 6km in length. Plenty gold came our of that place. One thing for Australian goldfields is if you put up with rubbish you will find a gold. Be patient, persistent and enjoy the day.Tune yourself with nature and surroundings and keep positive. GoldEN

Hi all I am new on this Site but many Aussies here know me by name GoldEN or real name Enio. I also detected and camped with most of them.Great bunch of people. This hobby gave me not just few nuggets but some memories from trips and some lifetime friends. For me this is what detecting is all about.Gold is just a bonus. Detect mostly in Golden Triangle in Victoria Australia. Dream is to detect to another Holly grail of detecting here -WA. Its on my bucket lsit I detect with gpx500 but last few months i use sc2300 most of detecting day. its fun and proven goldfinder. I hardly ever go home without few nuggets in a jar.They might me smallkl but they all add and trill of chasing and digging them out makes it worthwhile. My phone camera has been broken so i couldn't post some photos. No wi fixed it so i might go through some older photos and post. For start one nice specie found in Moliagul -home of the biggest nugget ever found. Part of fun when detecting is come across all sort of different creatures. Well met our Blue Tongue Lizard: GoldEN
