I think on some of his other videos he says they get permission etc etc

We have seen some very big wide loads on our travels in Western Australia when heading out to various areas to detect Don't worry about the doll and dinosaur sitting on the dash, they belong to out Grand Daughter who is 4 years old, she wanted to come with us camping and detecting, but it was not possible, so se sent a couple of her toys with us so they could see and send her some photos back 🥰 cheers dave

I took a few day off from detecting, and I spent the last 3 days doing a Mosaic Damascus steel making course in Kalgoorlie Western Australia, it was a great course. The stack of 30 steel plates 1084 and 15n20 weight was 6kg to begin with and now the billet is under 1kg, the weight reduction occurs when the ends are cut off after each of the 12 step processes to see how the billet looks and make sure no cracks or delamination's This is the before and after result of the Mosaic Damascus course and the billet is about 250mm x 65mm x 6mm ready to make a blade from. this is the before stack of 30 plates The finished billet surface ground to a course grit and etched in Ferric Chloride, and now ready to shape into a blade close up of the same piece cheers dave

nice big NZ nugget, 25k is a lot above spot price for it

yes we have it, it looks very good, we used Trilobite for the last few years, and I think this Detector Maps will be even better. I still think though you need to use Detector Maps, and Tengraph for Western Australia and Google earth and even Trilobite in conjunction with each other and not rely solely just on one of them. And geo maps of the area you working in as well. cheers dave

This is one of ours from quite a few years ago, Veronica found it it was 129 grams when found and cleaned up in HF acid (Hydrofluoric) It went from this to this after the HF still over 3 ozs of gold in it

yes it is, going up up and away, and that is over $170 AUD a gram

I finished another kitchen/chefs knife today, goes with the one from yesterday. Same blade type as the last few but I tried a red resin inlay in the handle and it seems to have worked ok cheers dave

Well it'll soon be time for us to get out detecting again but before that, I finished another kitchen/chefs knife yesterday, well it still need my logo laser etched onto it yet Blade is Hitachi SLD Stainless Damascus clad, 155mm long and 37mm high, weighs in at 132 grams. Handle is Rosewood and Ebony with Brass spacer and all sanded to 600 grit and polished with Beeswax and mineral oil 50/50 cheers dave

yes Grumpy, it would be an almighty sight to see, a bit like when it's raining on the rock

there is a lot of water out there Norvic, and it takes a long time to get away, lots of devastation out there.

and $160.1 a gram in Aussie dollars right now

well gold hit a new high over night in Aussie dollars And USD… Gold price by GoldBroker.com

It's still a couple of months away from going detecting here, so I made a couple more of these kitchen knives Blades are made from Hitachi SLD Stainless Damascus Clad steel flat bar stock Blade length is 160mm (just over 6") and 32mm high (1 and 1/4 inches) and weight is 130 grams And handle is Rosewood and Ebony with a brass spacer, all sanded to 600 grit and finished with a Beeswax/Mineral oil 50/50 mix polished in cheers dave

it might be that ML has stopped supplying the leads to the aftermarket coils makers, just sayin, after all the other things that have happened lately 🤔
