⭐ Gold Detecting Show'n Tell

[Dignit]

Managed to get 5 bits for 4g on Saturday. Ground was very wet and noisy so was quite happy with the result. Even more pleased that I managed to stay off the mullock heaps for most of the day and successfully work the slopes.

This what I'm talking about.
Nice finds SteelPat. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Gives us all hope, and gets the drive to get back out firing on all cylinders.
So you agree wet highly mineralised ground is noisy. Chuky boy and I found the same a few weeks back when it was wet. Cheers Dignit

I didnt want to lower the sensitivity so put up with a little extra noise. I found I was taking more breaks just to re-focus and make sure my concentration didnt wander.

Patrick1, have sent you an email, as quite a few from Vic will be at the Maryborough Golf and Bowls Club on Sat night (this weekend) and would also like to catch up. Might even be GGA bulldozer comin a wooping-it through?

 

[Dignit]

SteelPat
Yeah ..... know what you mean.

Cheers Stru, thanks for that, it's rugged stuff. That rock in the streambed looks like shale?

hey scrounger, i am no expert on rock types....one day maybe, but being in a creek no doubt this gold has traveled some distance and like a lot of palmer gold would have come from conglomerate or possibly quartz leader type somewhere upstream.

Hahaha...sorry i don't think so. My drinking days are mostly behind me these days (save for 'special' occasions), and i tend to avoid town, but if we cross paths in the bush, i'm only too happy to share the fire & coffee..
