G'day Gary funny you should say that, we woke to rain early this morning. They say we are supposed to get rain right up to Thursday. As you said will have to look for the end of the rainbow.

Cheers.

Mike and The Crew.

G'day Mike... don't take all the rain.. we could do with some over here..

Cheers... Andrew.

G'day Andrew I think the rain is heading your way as it came from the north west.

Cheers.

Mike and The Crew.

G'day All,
We went out for an hour before the rain came and found these.



Cheers.

Mike and The Crew.

Nice finds Mike , some might call it rubbish ( i call it relics ), but there is a lot of history there . Cheers Mick

good onya guys the one above the 303 shell and the one to its right are they nuggies two?

G'day Mick and Blisters,
Yes there is a lot of these relics/trash over here. There is 2 nuggies in that pic Blisters, they are next to the washer right hand side. Thanks for your kind replies. I have just weighed them .35 & 2.69 grms.

Cheers.

Mike and The Crew.

yeah mike spotted the first 2 straight up,wasnt sure on the other two could have been nuggies before cleaned up.i take it they were lead then mate?

Yep they are lead Blisters and I still haven't cleaned them as yet. I will have to dig out the Ultrasonic cleaner and give them a clean. Then I will post another pic.

Cheers.

Mike.

G'day All,
Here's a pic after the clean up, the last 2 nuggies we found. The scales read 3.04 grms.



Cheers.

Mike and The Crew.

Well done Mike and Crew, might be the start of something big.

PS. Heard a whisper that Golfather may have broken his drought.

G.B.

G'day G.B. thanks for your reply, yes I received a message earlier that he found a nice nuggie. Hopefully it is the start to his Goodluck finally. I have been trying to get him to GO LOW & SLOW. Tony. For your nice find Buddy and we will catch up again soon.

Cheers.

Mike and The Crew.

Nice finds Mike. Well done. Always great to catch up on your progress. We are doing it cold here at the moment in Queenstown, Otago, NZ. Had our first dump of snow on tuesday down past lake level & even snow down to sea level on the coast in places. I took my camera to work on Wednesday to get a pic to show you guys & the batteries were flat
Keep up the good work ......& results.

Good luck out there

Thanks for the advice cause it payed off. I have not been able to post it. I would appreciate if u could do it as I would
Have but can't remember how. Cheers to all.
ps G.B. Not as big as yours (gold that is) only 3grams but u said that the will get bigger and it was bigger than the
0.6gm that i found after digging scrap for 6week's . Hehehe

I'll give this a try and show u my hard earned nugget the first after 6 weeks , 2 at Bullfinch, 2 at Broad Arrow & two with Mike and the crew. all
were finding yellow but me. Told mike to put my 5000 on the Items for sale if it continued. I then hit a little 0.6grmer. I thought it was the curse breaker but alas no nothing for another week. On the day Mike and the crew left for their tour I went back to a little patch and unearthed the second. So when u see 82 nuggets for 48hours my mind just boggles. Cheers to all us sloggers.

G'day Goldfather here is your pic I have uploaded from our phone.



Cheers. Mike.

G'day all,
Just a bit of an update we are currently on a gold prospecting tour with Darren Kamp from Gold & Relics. The tour is going quite well there has been quite a few little nuggets found, but I will let Leanne fill you in on all the details as she gets them from Darren.
We don't have any service at camp so I have parked up on a big hill and managed to get some service to do this little update. Everyone is going ok and the campfire entertainment is great. We have met some very nice people on this tour and some great laughs to be had by all.

Cheers.

Mike and The Crew.

Hi Mike,

I was answering about your quartz vein topic and found out it was gone.

Well if there is no gold in the quartz vein then stop looking further there but try to find the red dirt area

by the vein instead .

Over there if you use you largest round coil ( 16-18 inches ) you will have a better chance of

finding large nuggets just right at the contact zone .

Good luck

Paul

G'day All,
Thanks Nohave for your comments yes I think that thread has fallen off now.

We have just finished a great tour with Darren from Gold & Relics. As I went on the tour to give Darren a hand with the other members of the tour, I did not do a lot of detecting, but I did enjoy helping the other members find their gold. I will leave the finer details up to Darren and Leanne to put in their report. I will add that a great time was had by All and the Jokes told around the camp Fire each Night can not be repeated on the open forum......
Also Darren put on a couple of movie nights under the Stars. Bringing back memories of the good old Drive in days.....
Thanks Darren and to the other tour members it was a great 10 Days had by All...

Cheers.

Mike and The Crew.

G'day All,
Just sitting by the fire at camp and I thought I would share it with you all. Here you go enjoy the fire guys and gals. 



Cheers. 

Mike and The Crew.       

Nice, I can nearly feel the warmth from here.

It's really nice Mike, but now I want more!!! I want to be there for real darn it!!!

Great warm photo

G'day all,
Thanks Dave, CostaDee and Shelby for your replies.
I can feel your sorrow there CostaDee and wish you were here with us. You could always catch a plane to Kalgoorlie for the Weekend and we will pick you up at the airport.   
The gold front has been a little slow lately, but the weather has been fine. We went for a drive and came across some interesting things. 

This one is an old timers hut made from tins.



This one is some mess from not so long ago.



There is no end to the targets in these areas.


Cheers. 

Mike and The Crew.     

Thanks for that photo of the house made of tin cans Mike, I'm currently building one out of wine bottles and your photo has given me some good building tips.

Great photos Mike... the resourcefulness of the oldtimers always amazes me.... but I've always wondered at what point does rubbish become a relic... I could imagine the local historical society wanting to "protect" the old hut, (if they could find it!!)..!!

Enjoy the warmth... below freezing the last few mornings here. 

Cheers.. Andrew.

Thanks Shiraz and Andrew for your replies. 

Shiraz would be great to see some pics of your little house of wine bottles after you complete it.

Andrew it is an historical site, the old hut is in a tourist brochure and is a bit hard to find.  
The nights are very chilly over here as well Brrrr.  Maybe not quite as cold as in Vic, but the days are quite pleasant. 

Cheers. 

Mike and The Crew.      

Think again Mike, Very cold here mate -0 temp here in Vic and the burbs,    How the gold hunt going Mike and Jen? or did the "A Team" pinched all your gold
