Unfortunately there will be no more Rye Patch Nuggetshoots. The coordinators that put on the event couldn't find any people to help. They got burned out on doing everything with a very small crew. It was fun while it lasted.

I came across this class. It might be of interest to some of you. Seems to be expensive at a $100 bucks for the class. But just think if it gets you a couple of nuggets. https://theprospectinggeologist.com/online-lidar-map-making-class/

Gooseberries & Gold. Went out scouting for some Gooseberries and Elderberries to make jelly. The gravels looked really good in the area for detecting, so I broke out the detector for a few hours and got a few small nuggets.

I know you are already in beast mode and already on the pre-order list!🤣

Will it be the 8000?

Is it a lighter 3030?

Grab your popcorn, drink and get your armchair ready. Minelab is building up for their new release. Enquiring minds want to know!

Our own "Outback Yank" aka Vanursepaul makes a cameo appearance in Krissy's video. I'll need to get Paul's autograph now since he will undoubtedly be famous and go viral.

Nice finds Steve. Nice to see you again up there. And I finally got to meet Condor in person. Tell him thanks again for letting me try out the X Coil. I appreciate it.

Well here is the gpx 6000 17" elliptical skidplate. This was a brand new coil. I put about 4 hours on it on Saturday. I keep my coil low, but I don't grind it. The plastic is so soft, you can gouge it with your fingernail.

My sediments exactly. Best post on this topic! Patch hunt with a lighter capable detector. Then if you find a spot worth scratching around a bit, then bring in the GPZ. I've been hitting the same spots for too long. Even the deer and bears are sick of seeing me there! 🤣 The hot weather is subsiding a bit. Time for a change of scenery. Doing the same thing over and over & expecting different results is done with my detecting for this season. If I'm going to get skunked for the day, it will be looking for that new patch.

This channel seems interesting. https://youtu.be/zrwYehXkL9s

I'd be curious to see how AI could be applied to geology and mapping of ancient gold bearing rivers? From what we have now to what geologists have previously discovered and published their findings. Possibly could be a useful tool in future gold patch hunting.

I have been enjoying this guy. He detects with beer in hand. And his mom also detects with him. Pretty funny stuff. https://youtube.com/c/GoldfieldsGoose

Krissy puts out a great channel. Fun to watch. https://youtube.com/c/OutbackGoldFever

Here is a good video with our own Steve H. https://youtu.be/NNrzHMKuq_U

I really like watching Two toes. Great guy, love how patient he is in a spot that he thinks has gold. https://youtube.com/c/TwoToes

Over the years I've watched 100s of metal detecting videos. Always searching to learn something from other detectorists. I know I'm missing so other channels to subscribe to. Comment below your Favorites. And what things you liked or learned from them.

No worse for wear brother! Happy you are living the dream.

Hey, heard you got your camper back. Is it true that is was stolen by a bunch of Australian miscreants? You need to check it for listening devices now ( bugs) . We don't need the Aussies stealing your gold detecting secrets. Anyhoo, glad you got your " Outback Shack" back! And that's a fact ,Jack! Peace out! SS.

Yes I finally concur with Klunker on something, the Australian blue Berber carpet is exquisite. Did you carpet your camper walls with it again? Wall to wall carpet doesn't actually mean carpeting your walls O-Yank!🤣

The only minelab issue I've had was a broken lower shaft on my 7000. A mean momma bear was about to give chase to Klunker & I. So figuring my only chance of escape was to klunk Klunker in the noggin with the detector. Hence the namesake. 🤣

Curious to know if the DD coil has any discrimination qualities? Not sure if this has been covered. But the DD on the 5000 would blank out over some ferrous targets.

Watched your recent videos last night. That is some beautiful gold. Way to get them in your pocket.
