Loved that show! Was able to watch it online here. Hope I can watch the special episode too when it comes out.

Last year my detecting partners and I had a 50% Crap Rate right out of the box too….2 of the 4 of us had to get replacements. That really is poor quality control for sure!

Wow, that’s some very nice gold! As I’ve said before, you are “King of the Patch”! 😄

Sounds like an awesome place to be exploring…solitude, critters, and gold! Appreciate you sharing your experience and thoughts on using the 6000. I had a few episodes of squirrelly emi in Nevada but plan to hunt Arizona next winter…not looking forward to an increase in emi!

This video is a hoot! Love your Prime Minister...is that her in this spoof or an actress playing her?

Great detecting...your skill and patience were rewarded with a bit of the good stuff! Love those wild and vast deserted landscapes!

I also take time daily to feel gratitude and say a silent “thank-you”…..on my morning walks at the cabin, or while biking along the ocean here in Florida. As I get older life is so much more precious, and I appreciate and feel a connection to Nature more and more. I’m so grateful I can enjoy the outdoors, being active, and our wonderful hobby. Happy Thanksgiving!

Sorry to hear that! Yes, quality control was pretty nonexistent on this release. I mentioned in an earlier post, that out of the 4 of us who meet up to detect, 2 of us had faulty detectors out of the box...a 50% crap rate! Thank goodness my replacement seems ok. Good luck.

Sounds like an awesome vacation, with some nice gold too!

Thanks for the heads up on these videos…I’ve not seen her before. Great detectorist!

My initial 6000 would power off when I set it down to dig a target, likely a loose connection with the battery pack? Minelab sent me a new machine which works fine. There’s 4 of us with 6000s who meet up in Nevada, and on the last outing Tom’s machine was just crazy sounding out of the box and had to be sent back. That’s a 50% crap rate in our little group! I do wish Minelab would put a little more effort into quality control too.

That’s a beauty! Would make a nice pendant.😊👍

Nice little nuggies! I’m going to have to detect in Wyoming some time…I drive through it a lot on cross country trips and love the openness and wildness. Gerry, I just got back from another Nevada trip using the 6000 I got from you, and yes, I love the machine now! Here’s almost 6 g from previously hammered patches I hit with the 6 this time. 😊

Love this time of year. Beautiful gold and scenery you have there.😊

Nice gold Rick! Just missed you...I was in northern Nv this past week and hit Rye Patch one day. And yes, one of your old patches gave me a couple little ones too!😄

Hope your wife has a speedy recovery! Do you know if she had the minimally invasive anterior approach? I’m researching lots before I decide who&what&where on my hip…don’t want no old lady hip!😆

I’ve been thinking about trying that AKAU, just might have to now! Say, was he using the Equinox 800? Steve, is that what you’d recommend for up there? Thx!

Good advice for me Steve, as I WILL make it to Alaska in the next couple years I hope! Yikes, those bites remind me of the fire ants in Florida…they also fester and last a couple weeks or so!

Great, now I’ll be all freaked out here in the US!😂😧😂

Thanks for all the replies! Damn, you can bet I’d be covered in that horse balm stuff, netting, deet etc etc…..crazy conditions you guys prospect in! Yeah, I wondered if the film crew instructed them to remove netting for the footage….they all couldn’t be THAT clueless, could they?? Lol RedDirtDigger- that is some awesome gold you got there! Someday I’ll have to make it over there to look for something other than the fly-poo I find here😂 Trent- were you on the show? Cool! Tony- 118 Fahrenheit, wow! Now that is HOT! Yep, you Aussies are a hearty lot!👍

What’s with these bozos on the show then lol

I’m watching Aussie Gold Hunters right now. With the flies being so bad, all the miners look like they have Tourette’s or a severe twitching disorder, with all the arm flapping and hand waving! Question: why don’t they just wear light netting over their hats and faces? Just curious…I certainly would!

Great write up, and I love the pulltab towel…what a hoot! Definitely get our share of them on the beaches. Its wonderful that Forum members can visit and host each other on outings…cool!👍

Sorry about stuff you folks are dealing with, Strick. Yep, your pup sure is a cutie too!

Joe- coming up on my 6th season snowbirding in FL, but it’s funny you brought it up because I’ve decided to sell my place there! I’ll still visit, but I want more flexibility in the winters….to enjoy the snow and wildlife up at my Idaho place, to explore and detect the desert SW from my toy hauler trailer while I’m still young enough to do it, and to visit other areas of FL(fossil hunting) as well other tropical climes! Decided life is too short to be tied down to Melbourne Beach for 6 mos…plus I’ve already found my Spanish coin from the 1715 Fleet, so can check that off my list 😄👍
