Northeast; thank you for your comments! You are a happy buyer of the QED and that is all that really matters. Learning the fine points of a machine will always enhance one's success with it. So, practice does make things better. Here in the USA, if I am finding lead bird-shot with my 7000 I figure it is working pretty good. While I always listen to anything that Jonathan Porter or Steve have to say, comments from people like you have great importance to me. THANK YOU. You can't get gold if it ain't there...good luck fred

Beautiful country, wish I could come help, thanks for the pictures. fred

Many of my deep nuggets turned into bullets when they saw daylight... but some don’t...good luck on the final turns fred

Don’t panic, mitchel that will be your impulse...you will want to speed up and scurry about. don’ t do it! Focus. Focus. Focus fred

Your nightmare with quantas is very similar to my 2010 trip, took almost two weeks to get my stuff. nice gold and good luck fred

stick to one place and FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS!!!! You have some gold so you know it is there...so are some big ones...they aren't all 2 feet deep. REG said so in some other post.... Believe every swing has the next nugget under it.... fred

EXCELLENT!!!! keep them coming, MItchel. how many days left? fred

Thanks, Trent; What a wonderful gift you have given Paul! fred

Excellent, Paul!!! Is this detecting in the wild, working pushes or drywashing/detecting? If you can tell me; are you around Meeka or the nullagine/marble bar... inquiring has-been wants to know fred

Paul; Life tends to get in the way of the Best of Intentions... Mitchel has stuck to it and found gold... And he has a few more days to go... fred

Mitchel; I do not think you need to worry so much about the history. Literally anywhere you have time to get to has been hit hard. That gold is gone, gone, gone. You don't really have time to prospect for new areas, no matter what some people are saying. You do have time to work the edges and a little beyond...very carefully. Yes, you are in Australia, but, the principals are not changed...do not over think this. I hope you Realize that I am trying to help...no harm intended. fred

Mitchel; go back to bed it is only 4 a.m. there...you need your rest for todays digging!!! FOCUS...more! fred

Priceless memories!!! fred

definitely pays to be certain!

HAPPY DANCE!!!! good on you, Mitchel! fred

GET UP Mitchel...it is after 7 a.m. there!!!! I suggest you buy a rake and clear some brush and branches...maybe that will give you FOCUS!!!

If you are going to Meekathera there should be plenty of Oz Hot Rocks to thrill you and Dennis... I love Western Oz most. have a great adventure and say hey to Paul... fred

Nice Pic's! FOCUS!!! fred

True, Klunker, except when some smartass prospector is using overstatement to describe something that is not... fred

I think you should call on that fantastic luck you had before you knew what you were doing... forget everything I ever said and use that magic... make me proud, Mitchel. And, even if you don't find a nuggie you have seen the elephant! fred

Mitchel, Mitchel, Mitchel; FOCUS!!! Did you get any time on the QED?

if anyone can find some big ones, it will be Steve and Dennis... fred

I don't know if the Golden Triangle has gold that will stick to a magnet but the NT and northern WA does...look very carefully. I think you will know when you find that first Oz nugget...don't faint when you do!

Dang, I almost missed this post because of the DD question... I love the good information, I love the drama...and I love it when the teacher has to step in and quiet the students. such fun fred

It only took one walk in the outback to convince me to use my GPS....most of us do not have an infallible sense of direction... fred
