Not suggesting good or bad about any country, just stating what happened.

Two Australians and an American were on a surfing trip in Baja, their bodies and burnt truck have just been found.

So sad and pointless.

I started out with a tent , then a swag in the back of a ute. Finished with a small caravan, depends how mobile you want to be and if you intend to camp in caravan parks or where you want to detect.

Photo of  a few WA flies. If it works

Had a great Christmas with family, 36 degrees C. traditional hot lunch and then into the pool.

Cheers to all.🙂  

Reminds me of a fishing trip I did some years ago with a mate of mine. Thought I would be smart, went into a fishing tackle shop  and bought some new gear and paid cash. Forgot all about the receipt until my wife found it in my pants pocket when doing the washing. 

Cheers. 

Train the dog to dig the holes for you and you can move onto the next target.

Great dedication and skill.

My first detector was a Garrett A2B Ground Hog, found two small nuggs in the first month and then went for over 12 months before I started to find gold on a regular basis. Back then it was quite a steep learning curve to sort out your detector.

Cheers

A few photos from West Australia, north of Meekathara. The gold is about the only time I have hit a patch

A few bush flies ,after all the rain.

Cheers

It was found not too far from its starting point. so much for expert packaging and transfer.😡

I started out in the 1980's , first machine a Garret ground Hog and then new machines up until 2015 when age and health forced me to stop. I come on site each day to help relive the memories, don't stop until you are forced to, I wish at times that I had persevered longer. I hired a sdc2300 a short time ago and went out with one of my boys for a few days but that will be the last time.

Cheers

I made all my pick heads from a plow disc, for the handle I got some broken pool cues from the local tavern , they made the best handles ever.

Cheers

early on in the story Jed mentioned building a road to get his truck into the site.

Great reading, I spent over 30 yrs detecting around West Aust but age has caught up with me, reading this makes a person want to start all over again.

Cheers

Pardon my ignorance, what is /does SPO1 stand for?

Cheers,
