So OCD Strick 🤣 See I already managed to get the wrong day of the week, but at least the 3rd was right!!! Sounds like all things remain the same 😵

Done and dusted

Leaving LAX Sunday July 3 to OZ..🤠 Stay tuned for a probable interesting dramatic time..lolol

The Taskmaster was probably at the pub have a "burger" (inside joke) and chips~~~ or a steak sandwich

Hey ya Northeast I will read long stories like this one all day long.🤩 Top job mate! im still waiting on my visa to come thru…. 28 days and counting.. kind of a shocker to me, had to cancel tickets over and hotels… last 3times only took a week or less anyway, always good to see someone going to WA and having a good go! And sounds like you did pretty well with the 6…. 16 grams n may be the biggest piece I heard of anyone finding. Once again, good job🤠

Looks like a snorkel rig

JP???

Looks like you have been peeling out trying to keep up with Klunker..🤠 Here are a pair I got for WA when it gets cold and I cant wear the 4x4 thongs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089K3SFNS?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details They also have metal eyelets all the way unlike the picture--- i can drill them out just like i did a pair over a Klunkers a few years back... im not worried about the top ones being metal--The gold we hit is so big they dont make a difference.🤣 Battle belt is the foundation for your harness system Scotty... You can add the right suspenders and then use you imagination on things to carry around the belt- I had a first aid pouch, 2 canteen covers, and a butt pack that i carried stuff in. Be sure your suspenders have the chest strap so they dont slide off when you bend over to dig. I also use Load bearing harness instead of a full backpack-- the belt is great for the hipstick (its about 5 inches wide with Molle on it so the hipstick mount will slide right in after a little mod. This type gear also keeps the pack down on the belt and off your back which is cooler in the summer, And it also allows you to use a drag loop on the top back of the harness to put your pick in to keep it right in the center of your back up high. I'll try to find a picture i have of the rig i made. https://photos.app.goo.gl/LWAEaGhBS1kUDa856

Well I am a new owner of one after I succumbed to many hours of Gerry's high pressures sales pitch and electronic thumbscrews!!! 🤣 Seriously-- i have done the Monster in WA~~~~~~~ and i gave it to the Taskmaster-- I love to test them out---- I will take the F19 over with me too,,,, although the 5000 is my go to --it is the first PI i finally connected with and feel confident in. In those super trashy areas I want to see how these two detectors do there. Now all i have to do is get there-- the "Blame it on Covid excuse" popped up again when i talked with immi about my Australian Visa-- ( i thought i would have it by now-- my last 3 only took a week) what an easy way to explain away incompetence. Never the less i will be there when i get there-- now off to cancel flights and rearrange ... Its all good--- at least I have another detector to either have fun with or throw underneath the backhoe as she goes by... hahahahahahaha

Looks like a piece of slag

I see what you did there,,, devil dog

Hahahahaahaha....

Only because i was buying-- otherwise no one wanted to explain what they were saying every 5 minutes!!!!lol I had to buy to be allowed in!!!

Gerry--- We did it right every time ive gone to OZ -- I may have messed up with luggage etc, but the Aussie friends always jumped in to help me: from the first year when JP took me under his wing {with a tremendous amount of under breath cursing..lol To Minelab loaning me a complete control head for the 7000, while i was with as Brother Norvic down in Dimbulah...... with his bonus wonderful fishing hut in "the" right place wink! Caught me first barra with him--- (he said I was a lot better fisherman than a detectorist---lol) .. then the Goldhounds- in FNQ-------(what can be said about that ) th Palmer the walkabout way up north with Johhny Majic ......... To the Taskmaster in WA where i have learned to love the WA desert--yeah even the pub in Meeka 🍻-- steak sandwiches are not to be beat-- If yall cant tell by now I am crazy mad at the realization of coming back.... I was sorting out gear on my patio and hour ago--- Cheers To new adventures!!!!

Thanks everyone!

That's exactly what Trent said before I came over the first time from FNQ----- He may not be my best reference now,,,hahahahaha-- I haven't seen anymore nature videos mate-- i enjoyed the camel lady and the lizard,, and shooting the camels ! How far are you from Trents?

I fixed that problem-- ill be coming with a carryon only this trip-- My kit is at Trent's --(I think) I need some pics of the barras this year mate!

It was given to me by the Taskmaster.... i would live there if i could but immi dont like hillbillies,,,,just convicts

All my gold detectors are still there with all my other gear --(if the Taskmaster hasnt sold them at a yard sale by now...lol)

That's exactly why I go there...hahahahaha Not direct at you personally-- at anyone--- especially Mexicans...lol

I appreciate that Tony--- do you have a spare Ute i can borrow for 6 months--- and a fuel card maybe???? LOL

It was 40-104 here in AZ today and getting hotter as it goes--- im bailing out...

Naw ya mate-- i dam sure would--- its a hub of activity-- Why they even have their own public golf course and Auto Speedway...😆

Thank you Dave--- I was thinking about you earlier this week-- you doing oK? Finding any treasure

I just made my flight arrangements to Australia and I am off the wall happy---- !!! Leaving the end of next month and couldn't be happier to get back and hear the Taskmaster screaming at me......lololol Luckily i didn't lose my airline points from 2017-18-and 19 and that gave me free passage from here to Sydney and back-- the rest i pay for in Aussie dollars !! Yes! Total airfare as best as I can figure is about 1200 AUD from Sydney to Perth to Meeka and back I may even try to get up north this year to where Mad Tuna is on station ...if i get a proper set of body armor first😆 From what I've seen i left some gold there in Meeka and that's ok-- i walked over it at least a hundred times-- i always swing high and fast,,😉 Seriously, Y'all don't know how happy I am to finally get the chance to go back---- I often think of Fred, and how he would have loved to go back,,,, so with Gods help I am going to do it again and this ones for you Fred!!!! Much love to you all and good luck this year finding your dream! No longer VA Nurse Paul------ Outback Yank now...
