⭐ Gold Detecting Show'n Tell

[OzzieAu]

Hi all,
I’m just back home after a week of slogging around the Avoca area, I have to say though I’ve never camped in such wet and miserable conditions. The ground is saturated everywhere and the detecting very challenging.
Nevertheless I came home with a few hard earned bits of colour and some muddy gear to clean up.

12x8 Evo...

Didn’t cover the fuel bill, but who cares....

I'm back in the city for a while @RM Outback . May go back next week before taking of to Robe for a while.

Ah ... Robe, you going to follow the path the Chinese took to get back to the goldfields? Awesome work of late SL hope that ounce piece finds its way under your coil (or mine).

Hi Folks,

Went out for a swing in the local area yesterday with Gregyem. It was great to get out with another member and chat about all sorts of stuff (including the gold we have yet to find) The gold gods must have been on holidays as we struggled to find anything but hot rocks. We did manage to uncover one little piece locked up in conglomerate so all was not lost. A big thank you goes to Greg for making the day a really good outing.


cheers

Les

Stopped At Creswick today for a couple of hours.
Got these bits and that round ball whatever it may be.
That ball was down about 40 cm and in the end I had to get the pinpointer out as I thought I may be chasing ground noise.
Undug ground and I felt the weight in the scoop when I got it out.
Thought I would have a money shot but it's not to be.

 

[Mackka]

It is a shot Solid, just not the type you are after. Cheers Mackka

Thankfully not all the leadshot is that big. We'd be stuffed after digging a few of those out every time we went out.

Last 3 outings, 3 from Amherst area, 1 on the way home from a day at the Gold Bash and 2 yesterday from north of Amherst ...... no size but always good to find some yellow.

A couple of little bits from an area that someone had raked. Love it when someone else does all the hard work.

 

[Mackka]

Out of your 4 tectors, which one were you using Les?

 

[Lesgold]

Hi Mackka.

As most of my local ground has been worked over really well, the 6k is the weapon of choice to pick up the scraps that other machines miss. The Coiltek 10x5 screams on those little tackers. It’s actually a pleasure to use in those tight, overgrown areas.

 

[Solid Luck]

A few hours at Creswick earlier this afternoon.

 

[Teemore]

A few more from Creswick, SL guess you could have been 1 of the parade of cars driving Shuttleworth Rd.
1 piece, the others smashed out of quarts that screamed.

I always think of that after I rake up and go over it with an SDC and a 4500, thinking the next 6000 that goes over it will get some choice ground.
