Most sensible comment on PIB technique I have ever read. In the unlikely event I do get bitten, and if I have added a bandage to my kit, I will do it your way. If I don't have a bandage, I will rip.up my shirt or something...

I come accross the odd death adder in the area I have been working, usually when I flip over a piece of bark with my coil. Never had one strike at the coil, 2 reactions, one is they stay still and think they are invisible, or they scoot, and yep, death adders can move quickly when they panic.

Thanks Pat, I know a thing or two about snakes and snake bite. It's a bit like quicksand.....always thought quicksand was going to be a major problem when I was growing up.

I never carry a snake bite kit, never have. Maybe I should.....but after 8 years running around in the bush in the Infantry, usually with a few hundred or even thousand other blokes, and a whole life of fishing, hunting,prospecting, and having only ever come accross 1 snake bite victim in all...

1 oz per hole is a good result.....now just need to find some holes like that!

Best answer I have ever read on this subject.

I sharpend my old pick with a grinder....took a bit of grinding I can tell ya! And no where near the original shape, but has held up pretty well. It's my big pick, and dosnt get much use though to be honest, it was my only pick for a few years though.

I believe that "locate patch" compensates for speed of swing and pace of walk, I think you lose a little sensitivity, however, it does make the machine a little quieter when covering ground more quickly than a slow deliberate swing.

Man what a racket for a nugget that size! Is a modded machine?

Could it be leverite?

got it.

Always wanted to visit Tib....it's just sooo farvaway

This my other dog, Kieko. Beautiful soul that she is.

This is fluffy, bought him off wish.com, grew a bit bigger than they said! He is described as a swamp dog.

$7K for the best machine out there! Thought someone would jump at it. I paid $7 1/2 k 2 years ago, it paid for self about 5 times since then.

Interested in hearing about the 14 x 9 goldhawk for sure.

Cable had to be cut, but yep,I wanted the skid plate and to poke around it out of curiosity

Yeah it's interesting, because there is not much that can move inside, everything is pretty tight and secure, so I wonder what the issue is that makes them bump sensitive?
