Oh that's priceless, I couldn't stop laughing and kept waiting for him to pass out from hyperventilation, great find though.

 

[Jaros]

Ah that's a great attitude he's got there. I suppose we all feel the same when we strike a good signal.

 

[Westaus]

I have seen a lot of his videos and yes he is passionate saw one when he gets excited and throws away the nugget and can't find it for a few moments... priceless.

 

[joao garimpeiro]

I need to meet this guy in person!
Anyone know where Herc lives?
Kalgoorlie????

His emotion is not just finding the gold, but to live in a fantastic country called Australia !!
How I wish I was there !!

 

[AtomRat]

He is a very funny bloke lol, loves his Au! :lol:

 

[Guest]

Yeah watched most of his video's anyone would have fun out swinging with the general'

 

[dazza513]

Wow, could all that noise the detector was making really be from a storm?

Would need the target to nearly overload just to hear it...

 

[Ronk]

yes i was thinking it pretty noisy too, but there is a lot iron in WA , I am not familiar with how the exterra sounds and lightning would interfere for sure

A timely warning to our kids, DON'T TAKE DRUGS.

Happy the General got his nugget but what a
pity about some of his other videos.
Me thinks he's a tad unstable .

 

[Guest]

My mind is made up. Thanks Nightjar

Interesting character isn't he? Sounds like he is locked in some time-warp where only "Herculi" can survive.
Ahhh Qld. beautiful one day perfect the next.

 

[Metamorphic]

Show me a prospector who isn't slightly unstable?

We do this because we are all crazy, no sane person would, Hehe!.........ok, this bloke is a little more bonkers than most admittedly.

Anyway, its time for my appointment at the clinic.

Cheers

I can tell you who I would prefer to have a beer with, and it aint you. Go the General.

 

[stoyve]

The general is an aggressive unstable creature.
After seeing some of his other videos , I dont know
if he's got a chip on his shoulder or if that's just
a splinter from his block head.

all you blokes putting **** on the general should pull your heads in.. I know the general personally, used to live with him...you wouldnt meet a bettr fella.. yes hes a character,, some would say eccentric.. A lot of super intelligent people are...I would trust him with my life/wife..( just not with my gold.. haha)..If he had an altercation with someone and belted a bloke, all i can say is the bloke probably deserved it..whatever he says, hes not an aggresive or violant person, ive known him for years... remember theres 2 sides to every story...Ill back him up all the way..and its beside the point where you from, if you leave your detector holes open or rubbish behind your a ********..

Been enough crap on the " Other Forums" bagging Hercs, and I for one would not like to see it here. My view is If you've got nothing good to say about a guy, then it be best you say nothing at all. Everybody shows their passion in a different way, and that's what makes us all individuals. Ask yourself, if the shoe was on the other foot , how would you like it. And above all its "Un Australian".

I think those who get enjoyment bagging other people should spend more time on the "other forums" where this seems an acceptable form of treating ones fellow prospectors. Just my opinion.

PS....check out his vid about him losing his dog to a bait and you'll see how passionate he is......Best of luck out there Hercs if you're watching.

Cheers Wal
