Thanks les. My problem was me n my settings I was on top of gold the whole time. When I lost a 4g peice to a sdc we threw it back in hole n I couldnt get it a 3 inch I knew something was wrong. Man the gpx learning curve is steep. Got it all sorted now. I got 1 with 11 commander mono run in dd. (What please explain). Yeah I didnt leave the house for almost a year after Id lost a close m8. 3rd day back into it. Im back n here to stay. Expecting our 3rd boy in 2 weeks so wont get any time soon. Will pm you les when it gets cooler in a few months to come down to mogo

Happy New Year to all!
I have been pretty quiet on here last year with a lot going on and not much spare time to surf the forums.
I see there have been some great finds of late by members, well done to all!
I thought I would try and hit the New Year running and have a good season on the gold, I braved the heat and wriggle sticks to spend 3 Hours is arvo going over some steep ground I had covered previously, and managed to turn this little speci up with the SDC after a couple of hours (buckets!) of sweat and plenty of steel and lead. Pretty happy with a find on the first day of the year.

Good luck to all this year on the yellow stuff!!

So are you saying you found 12 feathers or did I miss something Feathers12, like Makka I'm interested to hear.

guessing game layful:

Feathers12, does it have anything to do with the Wedge Tail Eagle, having 6 main tip feathers on each wing?

Went to ballarat yesterday and picked up Yet another skidplate for the evo. Gee they wear out quick.

Anyways whilst there i exchanged an unwanted xmas present-a pair of ss300 hesdphones-for an SP01 enhancer.
Thought I would give it a go as most on here rave about them.
Went out tonight and gave it a test run.

Managed to find 4 bits of gold but had my share of dramas. The connection on the headphones seemed loose and the sound cut in and out each time I bent over etc. Swapped plug ends around but was still hit and miss. Anyways found some gold so will continue to try it out and see if it helps performance.

Damn you do alright. I had a couple of hours cleaning junk out of ararat hills today .

 

[Distant Gunfire]

Well did my last two hours of prospecting for 2018. Ended up with 3 more bits to take the tally to 132

I wont post anymore pics till next year now

Happy New Year to everyone. :beer: :beer:

Hope 2019 is great to all of you lovely people and the gold keeps coming :goldnugget: ickshovel:

This guy here is an expert mate. I read all of this thread to learn. He also has a youtube channel. You will get plenty of help reading and watching those.
I can send my settings but you may be better off getting professional advice.
