Ha ha Jaros
the mrs and I went down to portland to get away from the heat. Only caught a flathead a banjo shark and a few sting rays. Was nice down there though. Havent been fishing since I started detecting :goldnugget:

 

[Jaros]

Luv Lizards. Sorry back on topic.

Took the Mrs young fella out tonight for an hour to try out his christmas present. A GO find 20.
Got half an hour in myself just before it was pitch black. Had to taste test both these little bits as it was too dark to see.

 

[HarryHoudini]

Nice finds.

Cool change tonight helped I hope.

It was quite pleasant out tonight mate. Much more to my liking. These blokes who go out all day in the heat deserve every bit of gold they find and then some.

Hi guys & girls,

Well went out today to get my final nugget for 2018 tried a different area to be pleasantly surprised with this little nug hidden in some stone :Y:

Happy new year to all & hope 2019 brings us all happiness.

I used the lure of possible gold to get a hand moving some furniture just up the road. It's about a 1700 km round trip from Capel to Cue (Mrs M calls it our "C" change) so the lure had to be good.

Jason has been delivering our Toll freight lately so on top of the offer of a trip to the goldfields he got a day off work as well

You can take the man to a place where you cannot pan but you can't take the pan from that same man :lol:

Yes Jason, this works too....eventually he worked it out layful:
We left Capel at midday and arrived in Cue just 11 hours later. We spent the following morning unloading and then rested throughout the heat of the day. By 5:30pm we were off, to a new spot not too far from town, each armed with an SDC2300. We gave the shotgun pellets a hammering and brought up quite a bit of rusty steel as well, however the gold was well hidden. We made it to bed by 1:30am and all we had was three little nuggets from my machine.

Jason's haul for the morning.

The next morning was a different story. Jason was determined to go home with gold so we hit the ground by 5:30am before the heat set in. Jason's story.......

He did well for a guy who doesn't even own a detector.......

My effort for the evening and following morning.

I hoped he'd find a few but he wasn't meant to get more than me...... Never mind, next time I'll take him somewhere that I've already stripped bare......

Good to see that you both found some Phil. I could only manage one for 0.25 gm yesterday. Jason will probably help you out again after that effort.

Cheers

Finally I've done it. After 6 months and about 150 hours I got this gorgeous little 1.1 gram nugget with my 45 on settings I got from NG when I went out with him in Ararat. You're right mate, those settings are sweet. Found it north west of Moonambul.

Changing his settings on his 4500 helped him on his way.

Heres hoping theres many more to come mate!!!

 

[Jaros]

Was that out his way or your way??

 

[Nothing Great]

His way mate. He visited a while ago and I took him out and changed his settings to match mine. He loves his 4500 now

 

[Jaros]

Nice nugget. He's probably araldited the switch positions into place.

 

[Mackka]

Thats what this is all about, helping mates, well done NG however, I think you should change your name to Everything Great.

Hey Jaros they're fixed in my head, I love them, so smooth and quiet until you get on a target.
