Drove to the Vic GT from Melbourne this morning with my youngest daughter (well- she drove, being off her plates and a damn fine driver to boot), only to realise when we got there that my 4500 wasn't in it's carry case - where I always keep it!
What a bloody duffer :cool:
Was horrified at first, then had to laugh at my stupidity - particularly the look on her face!
Borrowed a mate's 5000 for an hour or so (he was using his SDC), and found a 0.16g darling at good depth (4") in hard ground - the SDCs just couldn't quite see it by an inch or so in their raked ground.
We later tried numerous settings on his 5000 and found that the one I always use on my 4500 (Enhanced - not Fine Gold) was surprisingly the best for that nugget - even for a 5000.
Makes me feel good about my old 4500 (one of the original batch but has found much gold :D ).
Drove back to Melb this evening; found the wayward detector and will head back at sparrow's tomorrow for a few more days with the lassie.
It's the first time out in the GT with my daughter in a few years I reckon, and it's a great feeling even having one of my three kids still with me.
That nuggie is for you Goody - only a small one but a happy one :D
Maybe you can smile too?
Anyway, today made me smile........

Hearing the cause of yesterday's fires ( down the road from my place) being caused by sparks from a shitebox truck exhaust and not a fire bug :D :sunny: The biggest positive is the fires have put the wind up the neighbourhood and the dangers are now front and centre in their minds :Y:

I reckon I drove past it coming up around 4pm. Thank goodness it wasnt the day before with that wind. It was in a bad spot. Been talking about how bad it is everywhere with Mrs GT, was only a few days ago heading the other way we were talking about the roadsides.

Everyone got lucky.

3 Days ATM.... Could be getting worse as now there are 4 cases...

LW...

Given the explanation of the cleaners ventures whilst infectious I'm of the opinion by Monday you'll only have half the picture :( don't want to sound like a kill joy But.

Been there done that, 3 days is a piss in the ocean compared to 3 months, better stock up on the bog rolls :Y: trust me you will crack the shites :lol: :p

Yeah that's the time :Y: couldn't agree more about the weather at the time :perfect: sounds odd when talking about fires and referred to weather as a positive :lol: thank God it was benign.
