I go in to Bulga quite alot on those big long things that you guys put the black stuff into might see you at the fuel facility when we have to fill out a BSAFE

G'day! Billy here from Newcastle. I'm lucky enough, for the next three days, to be sitting in a cabin in beautiful Nundle. This is my first ever forum, so I hope I'm doing the right thing? Walnliz, you are one of the reasons that I am so excited about prospecting. I absolutely love your videos on YouTube. Any advice while I'm here in Nundle? I'm just starting out and i have bought a Job 45" sluice with me, and my Garrett at pro.

Funny you should say that about Walnliz. Their gold finds are what got me hooked too.

Nice. Goldandsand. Be sure to fill out your Bsafe correctly, or we will all be in trouble? Those " long things," look like they would be awesome to drive?

 

[dirttreasure]

They look like they are having an awesome life Myles.

 

[Goldandsand]

Will do . They are good to drive ! I see you use a At pro will have to try swap some notes on settings some time down at newie between shifts .

 

[dirttreasure]

Yeah, no prob. If you get on YouTube they have awesome vids on our unit. I was saying, on another post, that now, after those vids I found 20 coins in an area about the size of a house block, without digging the trash. I was showing my kids three silver's I found with the queen, her dad, and her dad's dad I found in about 5 mars of each other. Really cool!!!

 

[dirttreasure]

P.s I don't have the international version, but insure they are pretty similar? I think yours has ferrous and non ferrous though from memory?

 

[Goldandsand]

Would be interesting to compare the two over some targets some time . Should check our roster and try to go for hunt at the beach or park in Newie ?

 

[dirttreasure]

That's how I know about the international. From nobbies. A nice old man showed me his, and also put me onto a scoop, plastic, from Bunnings. I have one of those galvanised scoops from kelyco detectors. Lots of bending.

 

[dirttreasure]

I found nothing but bottle tops that day, I think he did the whole entire beach.

 

[Nugget]

Hey guys, just thought I'd share a comparison of the AT Pro (US) versus the International https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=256, hopefully that helps to explain the differences between the two models.

 

[Goldandsand]

Nobbies is a hit and miss some times you get a lot other days zip , I think with all the local forum members we might have to start a Roster for the local beaches , :lol: :lol:

 

[Nugget]

Not a bad idea. I haven't been bothered with any beaches for a while now as I've been more focused on historic sites. So that's one less detectorist to worry about :lol:

 

[dirttreasure]

Ha! Hey nugget, speaking of historical sites, if you ever get a chance, check out the old orphanage in Mayfield, in the steel river site. It is that site near the toule street bridge. You have probably been past it a million times on the way to Newcastle, or nelson bay? Steel river won't do anything to the site because of the huge cooks island pine there. They call it the " **** tree" I found an old ww1 button there and a penny, but haven't even covered a 16th of the site. It was originally called argile house and the site itself was the first in Mayfield given to John Platt in 1823. Really sad story as both his sons were killed in a bush fire on the river there! both he and his wife died not long after that.I even found a small patch of what they called shell beach. Spent hours re-searching it. Dead set, one of the most interesting stories I have ever researched.

 

[Nugget]

Thanks mate, that is an interesting story. I'll be sure to check it out next time I'm down that way.
