Hey Paul!!! I have always called a little 'chemical readjustment', "inspiration". Has worked for me. Blow a big fat reefer and the 'Great God of Nuggets' will wrap his golden arms around you.

Simon, you are overthinking things. Let's put it down to just a lack of originality.

The first signal I dug with my brand new SD was a 9oz slug. Ian Jaques and I got 65 ozs from that patch. The best time however was the 2 years before the SD was officially released. 'The Unfair Advantage'.

Went from brown and dusty drought conditions to green in a few days.

You can't help bad luck, nor the weather. It has rained all day here in Central Victoria. A lousy day for Mitchel's last chance to get a decent color. I checked the rain chart, and it has been the wettest May for over five years. I told Mitchel that the Great God of Nuggets required a virgin sacrifice, but we couldn't find one anywhere.

To know what Minelab has in store for the prospector, fossicker, or treasure hunter, you need to know what they are doing in the military scene. If a military detector can be easily modified into a machine that can be promoted for the recreational market (change the color) then that is quite possibly what you will get.

You can beat an egg, but you can't beetaroot. (Aussie humor) Sorry.........!!

Yes Mitchel, Five bits with the 2300 will just about buy you one of your much loved 'Burger King' indigestibles.

Most big ones are found at shallow easily detected depth, therefore lighter more maneuverable detectors are quite adequate when it comes to being in the 'right spot'. You won't find too many large nuggets in 'flogged' ground.

SteelPhase, as far as life is concerned, the journey is far preferable to the destination.

Jin, no problem with EMI at the back of the caravan park if you are using a QED. Mitchel, if you had asked Julie in the Wedderburn cafe for advice she would have given you plenty. Nice lady. You don't need the ring, unless it makes you feel better. Do a little dance and a quick prayer to the Great God of Nuggets, and it will have the same effect. My place is not exactly on the way to Wedderburn, but if you can't do without the 'pwecious', I shall leave it on the gatepost if I happen to be out. I have an extra one that I got somewhere along the line, and you can have that as well as it never served any purpose that I could see.

Trent King has given you the same advice that I did.

Both you and phrunt have really bad taste in food. Chain store rubbish. You can eat that crap in America Mitchel. That sort of food is why Australia and America have so many obese people. Bogun food. Should be banned.

Gotta love that dog. Look how he has his head just slightly on one side as he takes in what you are saying to him. He's a beauty.

Mitchel, by the way, did you happen to pick up a Bendigo Advertiser and read about the Kid who specked a 20oz nugget on Mothers day morning while walking the dog?

I don't know who told you Mitchel that Wedderburn has no accommodation, as there is a motel in the main street. Beats me as to why you thought that beach hunting at Bell's beach would turn up anything. You should have contacted Pat ( SteelePhase) as he lives at Ocean Grove, which would have been a much better choice.

Can't wait to try one of these coils on a QED. The Bulgarian carbon fiber CC coil has yet to come up to expectations so far.

A straight answer might be nice.....but don't hold your breath. Mushrooms spring to mind....kept in the dark and fed on excrement.

Jin, don't be a wuss. Out with the wire cutters, and bung on an X coil. Go for a big one. Never mind the fly poop. I'll take you to a few good spots, and we can cut a deal.

For your information Simon, Mitchel does not partake of alcohol. He has gone to Coiltek to check out some maps. The weather is very wet at the moment. The most rain for at least six months. Hopefully we may get to swing a coil tomorrow.

Northeast, the lambs were very time demanding, so I ended up giving them to a lady who who was a wool classer and who had sheep of her own. She said they were very well bred and would be wool producers. I did get quite attached to Jackie, as she had real personality.

Mitchel, you should be able to get any adapter you need at the airport.

How did you get hold of that phrunt???? Do you want to spoil my image?

Here in Victoria money should be no problem. Card or cash. It's not like out in the 'boondocks' of WA or north Queensland. Don't go mad on what you bring clothes wise as clothing is cheap here, and plenty of choice. The weather is not going to be freezing, although the nights can be chilly. I have a good pick for you, and any other gear you may need. Suggest you buy a pair of Oliver boots while you are here. They are just the best. See you soon Mitchel.

Baaaaaf.
