Luggage too

Good job mate—— good to see you are already learning the meaning of “Harden the Fk up” lolol This story sounds vaguely familiar.......can’t quite put me finger on it—-how bout a little help Norvic —— maybe you remember some story like this???? Hahahahaha

Yeah that’s not my hand it Trent’s.... he never lets me handle the gold.... afraid I’ll lose it I guess ?

Here’s a few more today... we have little over 1 ounce on 8 days ... That suits me considering We got 8ozs total last year.. pretty good start. Smoko is over, time to finish up for the day.... so far in one hour today...5.1gm

Yeah, That’s even better than a tether

Good on yas put him on a short ether ?

Lol Fred.... i was hoping you were gonna suit up and fly in to give him some “re-education” classes....and a set of horse hobbled to slow him down ? One thing about Mitch..... you can’t say he didn’t see that area of Sustralia pretty dam well

I was sure hoping would have some new friends show you around a bit. That what I understood was going to happen when you rocked up. I could never have found the gold nor developed the friendships I have without actually camping, fossicking ,and fishing together. But I could have been reading my experiences in to the beginning of your thread and just assumed you had people lined up to take you for a swing.... Sounds like you are having a good time and that’s good! ?

Stay there Condor We don’t need you over here flogging all the gold!!! be interesting to see some comparisons when you get here?

Is that the park Trent just told you about?

Forget the bag, your waisting time... you don’t need the ring.... you need set up at the caravan park and your coil on the ground! ASAP

Quit reading and fn around,,,,get it arse to the caravan park and don’t post anything else unless it’s a nugget!!!! Only half joking....no I’m not ..get serious like you do on the beach at SM.... get in a groove and do it Don’t take any more advice after tonight Get your nose to it and relax it will beep when you swing over it ? Good luck!!!

I Hopped on my quad bike yesterday afternoon just to take a run up to top of the Hill to check out phone service. After that I saw some quartz That got my attention so I drove over there and Then over there, and then over there , next thing you know I looked around and went uh-oh. so I decided which way I should go to get back to camp drove that way just for a little bit and then I checked my phone with the map app I have on it and Of course I was going about 90° the wrong way. It’s easy to mess up out here. And I won’t be depending on my phone alone again.... it almost died before I got to camp .........digging out my gps today like Norvic told me , it’s the little stuff you forget that will get you killed here,,,,and getting lost is one of the most common

Keep atter it.... I only have 4small pieces and got skunked today swinging the 20” NF coil...looking for big uns ?

Wow great job Dennis!!!! There is no gold that big in WA for sure....may have to change your plans to The Triangle or send you to Norvic.

That’s the real gold of Australia,,,,the people!!! i only got two more small pieces today and I’m in jeopardy of termination.......

There are two fried eggs and they are cooked...they are just a good orange color because they aren’t mass produced. They come from healthy Aussie chickens. The tomatoes are under the bacon ? Fred, I use a spoon all the time camping.. one spoon.,and one bowl..that covers any food. It can be liquid to solid food and I can eat it with a spoon and bowl. Besides, forks are harder to wash , I always think I have missed some two day old crud between the tines ....whereas with a spoon all you have to do is lick it off swipe it on your shirt and you’re good. Maybe I should write book on camping hacks ? Norvic.... I had barramundi last arvo and according to what they charged me for that 4x4 portion....that beauty we caught at the hut should have been a 1000.00 catch!!!!!——and by the way ur bird is a much better cook! ? And just to fess up —and let everyone know that the world is still in perfect order—I realized yesterday that I had left my mini-iPad back at my apt in LA on the back of the couch....I should have known it would be something? Nice to know my trip is back to normal......lol I’m going to try to board a small plane today for Meekatharra . I have maxed out baggage from the international rules, but I may have some ‘splaining to do when I hand them my carry on handbag that has an added 10kg alternator in it? Well....man they got a little concerned because my bags were 36kilos overweight for the puddle jumper from Perth to Meekatharra...but we agreed on paying for 25 kilos and I was happy for that update....got my first pieces today small stuff but I guess I’ll take it?

First day in country and a rough one it had already turned out to be... First of all i didn't lose anything on the way over so that left me with a whole day to kill in Perth, instead of calling baggage handlers as per the normal first days here... So i started up with a classic Aussie brekkie... 1000 carbs... but delicious! I do have orders from the Taskmaster to pick up an alternator for my fourby.... at first i couldn't figure out how he knew it was bad since he doesn't drive her..??? Then the answer was there, clear as a bell.... he'd worn the alternator past it's useful life of service keeping my 2 fridges full of cold beer down to proper temp....?

Update..... reporting from somewhere 1200meters above the Nullarbor Plain... 100ks of no trees and the largest aquifer in the world is right underneath.. Nullarbor means..null..arbor. ....no..trees

You may want to invest in a small fire extinguisher too Mitch....lolol

A word of caution for Mitchel--- be sure to rotate the USA 12v cigarette ligher plug 180 degrees opposite of how you plug it in here in the USA or it wont work.... things are upside down there and it may overheat or something if you get it reversed.... Just a note--you sure dont want to blow a fuse down there because there fuses are left or right only.... Have fun mate?

10 hours until wheels up for ..... Queensland goldfields...(lol) yeah thats it Queensland or Victoria--not sure which, but i do know thats where the gold is---- laying on the ground in heaps after that last tectonic plate shift !!!! I heard rumors of gold squirting up out of the ground and landing like pillow lava.... be sure and get a good ute or you wont be able to carry the nuggets back... Too bad they also said that tectonic shift causedd a major dip in WA and all the gold there is now 300 met4ers deeper than it was before-- Guess i can get some beach hunting in and then go seemy new fillapina wife if I get bored.... May have to hook up with Norvic and DaveW to get any real gold this year...... See ya all around -----?----Cheers you lucky dogs!

the longest post is the one that asked the question....what is the best detector.......?

Never wait...... As an early adopter I know that the quicker I snap up a new detector ----the sooner the next one will be out!!!!!?

This is what all the fuss is over----it sounds like my smoke detector when im cooking bacon!!! lolol
