Steve’s 2022 Australia Adventure, Part 2

[phrunt]

That's not too bad, I was just reading another guys report from Tibooburra, he just spent a week there, found 4 with the 6000 and 1 with the 7000, the bigger bit with the 7000.   All not much different in size to those bits except the 7000 bit was about double the size I guess and his 6000 bits were similar to yours.  Said he won't be going back, getting too hard now to make it worth the trip.

well it shows it can find gold at Tibooburra as well, did you just try on the common or other spots as well around the surrounding area

cheers dave

Commons area next to town. Couple more bits for me today so far. The newbies are scoring. Garrett CEO Steve Novakovich found his very first gold nugget yesterday, and Marketing VP Steve Moore his very first today. I’m slightly favoring the 11” modified DD over the mono for chasing the tiny bits, though it’s a close call.

Now look what you've done, you've gone and got them hooked!  🙂

Is the Axiom intended to be sort of a 1-off collaboration in the prospecting realm to bring your idea of an ideal prospecting PI to life Steve? Or is Garrett looking at continuing to stay competitive in the prospecting world after the Axiom too?

I know you probably can't answer much, if anything there. But I'd be remiss if I didn't ask anyways. I'd love to see a GPZ competitor designed with same principals, and just with good coils it seems like greatly improved performance is possible if patents don't make such a machine impossible.

Garrett’s goal is to remain relevant and competitive in the metal detector industry in all areas, now and in the future. I have no idea really if all my lobbying really had anything to do with it or not. I don’t really care; I’m just glad it’s finally happened. It’s just something they are doing, and I’m trying to help. It certainly won’t be the last thing they do. The new detector every ten years thing is dead and gone now.

Steves picture of the Granite outcrop is a real "postcard quality".

Glad your having fun down there Steve and getting the Garrett people some lessons I'm sure has helped them get closer to the equipment.

I hope your having a lot of fun and staying safe. Should you find to much gold your putting yourself in danger from some of those Aussies as they don't like us yanks.

 

[Steve Herschbach]

Not sure where you got the idea Aussies don’t like Yanks. Just the opposite in my experience. You get some odd ducks but we have plenty of those in the States. 

I ended up with seven bits, group somewhere over 20 tiny nuggets, supposed to get a group photo of gold this morning, will post if I get a copy. Then on a drive off to next location, rumors of possibility of running into rain, so we will see. I’ve been very lucky in that regard so far.

[phrunt]

I guess you'd have difficulty telling one of the guys you found a nugget, as everyone would swing their head.  Hey Steve, I found one, and two heads would swing around 🙂

The three Steves!  All the Aussies will think every American male is called Steve.

You're getting some cool photos and having an excellent trip, great you've dodged the bulk of the rain so far.

 Thanks for the photo of the two kangaroos. I didn't know what hey looked like and now I do.
