What is the grass cover like at the moment?

Thanks for that mate!

Hey guys. Does anyone know what the access into McMasters GPA in Clermont is like at the moment? I haven't got a 4wd. And any idea of the grass coverage? Cheers Ed

Good Luck Banman Let us know how you go. We tried some old and new gpa's. Just got to get lucky, and keep an eye on the terrain and stay in the shallow ground or around the old workings. That's the theory I think? Not that we had much success. As they say, low and slow. I'd like to go back there.

Hi Jaros, We visited Durikai and Talgai about 6 times earlier this year. Plenty of lead, rust, etc,. No gold yet. We will continue to try there. I suppose it's just a matter of time. :D

Thanks Limpalot, We went out again the week after to Durikai which is not far from the Talgai GPA. We ventured from Karara down Carbean Road and turned off at Burrabaranga Road and found ourselves wandering up a dry gully which had signs of old workings and more recent diggings. We found many...

Hi Guys My wife and I have only been involved with metal detecting for a few months now. Something I have always wanted to do. I am a keen fisherman, and maybe it's a bit like that, as you never know what your going to catch. I bit the bullet three months ago and bought a GPX 4500 and I was...
