fredmason Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afreakofnature Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I agree with Fred. Where there is one there is more. Grid the crap out of those two places! Then go back over it again in a perpendicular direction! With your limited time left, if it was me the exploring is done, time to grid, go slow and listen for the faints. Get that big Aussie gold!!!

mn90403 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 The first rule of Reg. Don't look for fly shit. Fly shit locations is where I found two of my nuggets on hammered mullock piles.

mn90403 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 I know there are a few nuggets within range but I also know that everyone tells me I'm not going to find a big nugget in hammered mullock piles. They hunt for bigger nuggets on the sides and other places that I hope I can learn about over my remaining days with Adam. I mixed it up today. I tried for a little guy and also hunted a reef. This is a very mature game in Victoria. If you look at the other prospecting forums no one is getting a lot of nuggets in a day. Guys that know what they are doing do get some better pieces and then there is all the rest of us. I brought my big game gun on this trip and just like on a safari a squirrel is not a trophy! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been some fine analogies recently. I like this one too. DP forum has become detectorphilospher.com 3 hours ago, mn90403 said: I hope I can learn about over my remaining days with Adam Be warned, I am still but a Grass Hopper. However, I guess the mind set I have now changed to is 'go big or go home'. I have the luxury of going some time between nuggets in the hope that those nuggets are sizeable. I don't envy Mitchel as he does not have the luxury of time on a trip like this. But don't worry, I will be trying to get us on to something decent - it is in the best interests of both of us ? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
