Looks like a great hunt with some very nice finds, I bet you are tired from all that digging.
Good luck on your next hunt and stay safe out there.

Looks like that was a can full of liquid of some type.

I forgot to ask if you have found any nuggets in the tree roots yet.

Great work on the gold and I know you will beat last years totals with a start like this so early in the new year.
Good luck and stay safe out there.

I don't know if it's the right way to do it, but I have used a welding helmet several times to watch a eclipse.

I know that you simply amaze everyone with your hunts, and that goes for this one indeed.
Good luck on your next hunt, but we all know that with you, you have more luck than the rest of us.
Take care and be safe out there.

Good luck this year and stay safe out there.

Great hunt and I love to hunt those courts, I find them to have more change than any where else. Haven't found any gold at one yet but I am not giving up yet.
Good luck on your next outing.

Very nice hunt and I bet they learned from you on how to find all that gold.
Thanks for sharing.

If I were thinking about starting this hobby, I would go to one of the metal detecting clubs in your area to see if they would be willing to teach you about some detectors. While they teach you they will more than likely have you in an area that will allow you to find something in the ground while using a decent machine.
Everyone here has given you some great advice and the only thing is are you really wanting to experience the hobby or wanting to live the hobby. Once you are hooked on this hobby you will have very little time to do any other hobby because you will want to get back out there to find another treasure.
Good luck and be safe.

VL if you catch up with Eric tell him it is OK for him to take you to my beach to detect. 😃 But you can't use those glasses there. 😒
Due to currency a 100$ US will buy you $150 AUD meal here. 😁
I just hope that he won't start hiding since someone is willing to help him get those glasses for the detectors.
Since this is a business trip most of what I do down there will be written off on taxes.
I have reserved a plane service to take us where we want to go to look for gold while we are there.
Maybe we can get together for some detecting and have a meal together.
I know about the currency and that means a lot when I am looking at a sub that is close to 3 million AUD.
I can save a lot of money by checking it out and then having it sent to where I need it.

Since I have no idea what it is , I will call it a fuse for a neutron bomb.
It could be some type of corking item for all I know.

I've decided to throw away my gold detectors as I no longer need this ancient technology..
I will be landing in Perth on Monday and will be close to your area on Wednesday. I am bringing you a gift card so that you will be able to purchase those glasses. I will also have a second card for you to say thank you for your trouble. I was afraid that they would get lost in the mail so I decided to pick them up while I am down there on business.
You can message me so that I have your address and please enclose your phone number also.
Maybe we will be able to do some detecting while I am there also and I will pick up the drinks and meals.

If you preview/ download the maps on a wifi connection from your home you can use them out in the woods with gps tracking.
I didn't think about that so I must thank you for reminding me about that.

Which detector are you going to use it on, as I sort of remember someone talking about it on a Minelab detector.

The are that you are in does have gold bearing ground, with that said, you have to be patient when looking for it.
I am in an area that is not suppose to have any amount of gold, but each year my girlfriend and I can find a couple of ounces of gold.
I would be rechecking your own tailings for flour gold or some small flakes the got past your sluice.
Nuggets are going to be very small in a worked area, so think small. A detector can also help find the best areas to be looking in should you find a layer of gold bearing ground.
I know that you will be able to find what you are looking for as long as you don't give up.
Good luck and stay safe out there.

Verizon is your best bet for coverage no matter what others say in rural areas
Well the nearest tower is 10-11 miles from our house, so we may get reception if we stand on our roof and that ain't gonna happen.

I did other posts on the forum regarding how to use USGS Lidar maps, topos and OnX Hunt, but the all-in-one award goes to this app. 🏆
Wrote to them today calling attention to the fact that there might be a lot of detectorist interest, I hope they respond favorably. 🙂
Nice looking app, now if I could just get a good working phone to put it on because they don't work where I live.

Sand Scoop Recommendations
in Metal Detecting For Jewelry

I actually had one made at a fabricator's shop that is 2mm thick with just under 1/4 in holes. They made it to fit a carbon fiber shaft from an old trolling motor and it has never broken or had any problems. The cost was around $150 and well worth it.
