Lol, it had 2 small nuggets in it that are now very flat and thin.....

My favorite Indian dish is saag, only discovered it last year!

Les, I've been mucking around a fair bit, and in my ground (variable) this time of the year (fairly high emi, due to storms) I have been in difficult, general, smoothing on, low, and sensitivity 15. I went over the same ground I did last week with different settings, including smoothing off, and...

so far, painless since the anti biotics, but I know it will come back!

this one I put in hydrochloric acid over night, (In direct sunlight as long as possible) hot acid seems to work faster, then gave it a quick wash with bi carb, and broke and picked at the quartz with one of those hook things from supercheap auto, then about 10 minutes in ultrasonic cleaner. then...

Out of the bath,7.6 grams now.

It's falling apart in the acid.....hopefully, there will be a nice bit at the end, just not as big as I thought.

This is the new zed search coil for the 7000, found a small bit with it a few days ago, it's pretty sensitive to small targets to.

12.6 gram speccie this morning, in acid now, it's nearly all gold, so should clean up nice. Nugget finder zed search 17 x 13.

You know, The whole purpose of yesterday was to give coil a good run. I stupidly changed my rig for the day and used a small day pack instead of my usual vest, due to the heat. So couldn't compare exactly, dumb. Any how, the weight didn't bother me at all. I honestly didn't notice a difference...

Went out patch hunting with the 17x13 nf zed coil. 1st use for me today. Didn't leave home until 2pm. Went walking up and down hills in stupid heat and humidity, grass is growing, but still young and easily pushed down. No gold on the fault I chose. On the way home, stopped by an old patch. It...

Look for gold finds just prior to Ww1 1915. Lots of men didn't come back, and a lot that did never returned to the gold fields.

Okay then 👌

I don't carry topo maps with me, but sometimes have them in my car. I do however have spare batteries for the gps and a powerbank for my phone and torch. Also, I usea gpz which also has a gps....which I have not used yet lol. I also carry a Silva compass. If worst comes to worst, I can walk a...

I often wonder when I watch detecting clips on you tube. Most people I see on clips are carrying detector, pick and go pro. I assume they are within sight of their cars? I know, I'm always carrying a 3 Lt camel back, another 1lt army canteen, with a cup just in case I need to boil water, a fire...

It's the WEF pushing for net zero, here's what they have to say about Lithium. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/07/electric-vehicles-world-enough-lithium-resources/ So by the time a significant number of people have invested in lithium powered vehicles, we will be moving on to another...

I was thinking about recharge rage, as all the recharges are being used and people having to wait an hour before they can even get on to a vacant charger. Then there are the people who live in areas where they have to park on the street. That's just Australian problems. Then there are countries...

All police are struggling with any investigations atm. It seems they are being sidetracked by other issues.eg, going out, doing job, make arrests, do all the paperwork, go to court, judges release on bail, re arrest same people again and repeat. Just look at how cops are outfitted now. Look more...

Carry a sidearm? Think that's a realistic option? Personally, one of my biggest fears is getting back to my car or camp to find my fridge has been stolen!
