Todays finds at Stuart Town nsw

Had another good day with 1.6 grams of the good stuff.

Good stuff Jack0gold, nice nuggets.

Is there much water lying around at Stuart Town? Mozzies?

Yeah mate, the mozzies will almost carry you off, Lots of water in the old dig holes. If you go out there take the mozzy spray.

Good goin JackO, the mozzies might carry you away but u got to carry away the gold how good is that

nice gold thereJackOgold, small gold is better than no gold - wish I were there.

Looks like a fun day...all smiles I bet

well done jacko!

Great nuggets!
I have been watching your posts of gold that you can find from Stuart Town green in envy. I have been there few times and
can only find bullets lead and iron junk ........ (have had my GPX 4500 for a month.....and there is so much to learn).
You must really know your machine and use it properly.... so please keep up posting pictures of your gold and I can keep dreaming of my first nugget. You keep my dream alive. Thank you so much!!!

Hi and thanks Maarit, Its funny, I must have went to Stuart Town a dozen times and found nothing but junk and bullets, I ran into another guy there one day and he had found 5 nuggets that morning. That said to me to keep trying and my day will come, Now i get good gold every time i go there.
Im using the 5000 with an 8inch mono, I have found every little nugget with that combination with the detector set on special and fine gold. Its perfect for that area. Biggest piece was just on 1 gram so its all small gold and mostly reef and very rough but i have found some nice smooth pieces there too.
I see you are a new comer to the game and live nearby, Im more then happy to take you out there one day soon and help you to find that first nugget if you like. Im hoping to spend a couple of nights out there to do some serious detecting in January if your keen. This offer goes out to anyone else thats interested too.
Cheers

Thanks JackOgold!
We would love to come in January when ever suits you. It would be great. We are living in Wello and it is easy drive to Stuart Town. I use the GPX and I have a pleasure to have a partner who does the digging for me. It would be so great to get some help how to use my machine properly. I am getting already really exited!!!!
Have a very nice Christmas!
and please keep me posted about the big day in Stuart Town

Hey Maarit, Did i meet you at Stuart Town a few weeks ago, I met a guy out there using a new 4500 he had bough but had no instruction on using it. He another guy digging for him, I helped him sort out his coil and put him up onto the flats. Was that you?

Hi!
It wasn't me. I have instruction book and I got my machine secondhand, so no lessons and I am a lady

A lady, digging in the dirt looking for gold nuggets. I couldn't think of any thing better, Good for you, Women make great detector operators.
The offer stands for a couple of days swinging in January. I cant give an exact date as i have to see how work pans out after the new year. I plan to take my camper out and stay there for a couple of nights.

Nice finds Jackogold, at this rate your going to clean the place out.
ST was my training ground and we still pop out there every now and then, best thing about the peppercorns is you can always come home with a bit of color if your in need a of gold fix.
Stopped in there the other week late in the arvo for a quick fix, got out of the truck, put our gear on, took our gear off got back in the truck and left, anyone who can handle that amount of mozzies that late in the arvo deserves all the gold they find plus some...

Your right about the mozzies there Narrawa, I was there till 3 pm on Monday but all day i had to re-apply the mozzy spray every 2 hours or they would carry me away. Theres so much still water there at the moment it to good for the breeding. I would like to go to many other places but ST is only an hours drive for me and im getting gold every trip now days. I dont get more then a day out at a time.

watch out for a holden rodeo shaped mud hole there...damn near lost my ute!

Mate your doing better then i did when i first started going out there with the 2100, stick with what your doing with the 5000 because its working for you.
ST does't see as much action as many of the other gold fields and thats a good thing, and every now and then you hear of a good bit being found out there, you never know, given your luck you maybe the bloke telling of just such a bit very soon.
Its a good training ground for the newbie, as it offers a wide range of ground conditions which helps you to understand your coil selection and timings.

Keep your fingers crossed the dam empty's out quickly, this will give you another good area to prospect that yielded many of us some good finds.
