Headed For The Land Down Under

[Northeast]

Great to meet you today Mop.  It is always dicey meeting ‘some rando’ off a forum but so far the people I have met have been helpful, cheerful and friendly. And you were no exception ?

Muchly appreciate you taking us to your spot. Respectfully we left all the gold there for you  ?

We are heading out west of the airport in the morning tomorrow if you wanted to join us again. 

Sunday is gold day!!!!

Ahh damn, I was sure you would get onto some. Good luck tomorrow, unfortunately I have commitments so all the nuggets are yours.

Hope the Blues get over the line, Port were crap today.

The three of us tried but no joy today.  I thought I had one and you thought I had one but after giving it a scrape and getting into the quartz it was out.   #%&@^ bb again

Darn ... the gold gods are evil tossing out bbs.  And I thought those little bugger with digging legs were only common here in the states.  I am always amazed at their ability to get down in the tiniest of cracks.

Still, it sounds like one hell of an adventure Mitchel!  Meeting new friends is the best.

It is definitely an adventure that is coming to an end.  I've got 2 or 3 more days of prospecting depending on how I spend my time.

We are going to hunt a Bendigo spot tomorrow.  Today's 2 spots produce one nugget for Elusive and his 2300.  Adam and I are behind in the nugget count.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Focus. Focus. Focus

Fred,

I'm following the game plan.  We are going to be out there early and avoid a few showers.  Adam and Elusive want gold too.  They have spots they've thought about for weeks that we are going to detect today.  I'm Adam's wingman.  I can't be with better blokes now!

I went through the day of 'panic' on Friday to make sure I had done all of my shopping.  I think I have enough of that stuff done so I don't have to stop detecting.  It is just logistics now of being at our meeting spot in a couple of hours.

I know it's not over until it's over.  Thanks for keeping me focused.

Mitchel

Well, Elusive got us again.  He showed us that there is gold there with a 2300 finding one little specie and one tiny grain.  

Good work I'd say.  Adam and I were rewarded with a nice long day of detecting!

More tomorrow and the next day and then homeward bound.

Hi Just my 2 cents I never used a 2300 before my trip yes I used 5904765430280865085 metal detectors and I do have 1 PI a Goldscan 5c modded for beaches (originally bought for OZ) after 10 minutes in the gold fields I managed to find targets I had 10 non ferrous on the 1st day (more like afternoon)  of course I was surprised of how easy it was to use , but the coil position the lousy arm cup and the headphones were,  annoying and after 11min of use I was already thinking of how to improve it .

This machine is I think the best starter PI .Will I buy one if I was to detect more in OZ YES
