705 finds

[Brian]

moved house from https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=12475.

opening balance - $245 in gold coins and about $30 in 'silver' that I've turned into batteries, $16.50 went today at coles self checkout. The machine was coughing and choking but i kept cramming them in. Gave a few 20's to a woman who was short 40c and gave the rest to a charity begger.

so todays pics, more money - no predec yet dammit just the goldies everywhere. A stone that pinged at 32 (the parks are full of this crap it slows me down no end. got a 2c so that completes my set of decimals (barring the round 50)

the 1/2 interesting coins.

my latest park the totals up to $50, about a 1/3rd through it. should pop $100 before finished. still keen for a pre decimal though.

 

[Ramjet]

The totals are ticking over nicely
pre Dec any day now.

 

[rocketaroo]

Maybe that 32 rock has lead in it. No pre decs? You have been unlucky, if you were close to newcastle, Ramjet and I would get that fixed quick.

 

[Heatho]

Nice work. Find out where the older parks are in your area, silvers will pop up soon.

 

[TheSilentBugler]

Nice hunting mate.

 

[Brian]

Well I've finished another park. Pulled out close on $100.00 overall over a few visits. Got given a beer by some kids.

Maybe 10 keys. Heaps of keys. I can almost call them by the signal.

 

[Wally69]

KB (Kids Beer) in the park, now that brings back memories.

Sounds like a good spot - if only rings were as common as keys

 

[Brian]

Did another park last night for ~$27.00. New high score for coin spill of $6 (3x$2)

found some jewellery, not as good as it looked in the dark. oh well. and more keys.

Cleaned up the new goldies and added them to the goldie bottle, another $89.00 worth it was. so up to $334 in goldies.

Tonight I started another park. I was swinging the 705 like a deus and pulled out another $27 in about an hour.
money, keys and a little padlock.

Should do another $100 out of this park easy.

 

[Ramjet]

You are doing very well Brian.

 

[nucopia]

Damn brian im so jealous. In my area there are not many parks and what there is are recent developments ..so slim pickings

 

[rocketaroo]

your finding some sweet goldie spots. I am yet to find
a spot, with such a huge concentration of them.

 

[Brian]

Damn brian im so jealous. In my area there are not many parks and what there is are recent developments ..so slim pickings

but that whole swansea to warners bay around to toronto area is at least 40 years old?? surely there's something?

 

[Heatho]

The goldies sure do accumulate quite quickly, well done Brian.

 

[Brian]

Well I've started a new park on Sunday night, doing ok but only money and keys (and the junk) oh and a little ring but I'm not sure if its jewelry or industrial. I'll do some photos once its soaked a bit.

Night1 $27 - did along the trees at the top of the park.
Night2 $22 - continued along the tree line but the money died away, worked around the side of a path and the money came back. wasted some time though.
Night3 $28 - got a bit ambitious and thought I'd do a whole area that's path enclosed, wasted a fair bit of time. got back to under/near the trees, and the money came.

So maybe about 1/5th of the park done for $77.00. The high value areas I'll get to soon, started at the unpopular side of the park, based on watching the people on the weekend before I started.

 

[rocketaroo]

at this rate, you will have found enough soon, for an upgrade, to the etrac!

 

[TheSilentBugler]

Nice work Brian.

The predecs will come, you're killing the goldies.

 

[Ramjet]

Goldie magnet I don't think I've ever found $20 in one day.

 

[Brian]

Goldie magnet I don't think I've ever found $20 in one day.

I come home with $22 and the wife is like "oh is that all? I thought there'd be more"

I have to admit that I get a bit annoyed if I haven't found any goldies in like 1/2 hr... I've concluded there's money almost everywhere, just have to walk in the right spots.

and yeah I'm considering an upgrade.. the ctx 3030 weight scares me a bit, but I'd like to go in the surf perhaps.

[Ramjet]

I can't decide between the CTX and the XP Deus. Completely different machines. Guess I'll have to get both.

Rocket always gets more goldies than me. Must be the Xterra Though he will claim it's the operator.

 

[rocketaroo]

the xterra loves goldies, I have never found more than 20 odd bucks in one session, just need a better farm site The garret is bad on goldies, or their operators just suck at finding them?
