grab some popcorn.

Ouch Dale!!!  Hope you will be ok..
 Bet you were hanging out to use the new machine?
I am sure BG2 would be more than happy to have a go with your new machine..

Just remember the gold will still be in the ground waiting for you.
Look after yourself.

Hope you get up and about to a quick recovery Goldhound

I do know of another nice fella on here that has similar condition, still gets out and finds their fair share of the elusive stuff. pins in the arm and all.

Cheers Mick

That's a tough call, he was chomping at the bit to have a go at his GPZ 7000.

Hi Inhere, yeah he sure was, and by the sounds quite a few members were waiting on his trials and thoughts, myself included.Anyway by the sounds alot of very experienced opperators have put there bucks up, so lets see what they think.Hope some have test beds set up to compare.

G'day bloodgold2


That's a real bugger, hope Dale has a speedy recovery and give him our best wishes when you see him.

Many thanks for the vid mate, I did send a note via pm but just noticed not in the sent box, Lord knows what happened to it. Keep an eye on your PO box this coming week.
That lady on your team must have the nature of a saint to put up with a mob like yours! That vid is a classic and worthy of much greater exposure. I am concerned that it became the subject of such juvenile criticism, I didn't think that the general prospecting community was that low, although when I think about where most of the criticism came from, I can understand it.

I would like to ask....did you consider using any other machines on that area? either different mod ML's or different breeds?

Many thanks again and hope you are able to make it to the Bash this year. Best regards Hotrocks

I am mad at myself for watching that video come on spring!!! Waiting for snow to melt is almost as bad as waiting to win the lotto LOL. Still winter here in Idaho(USA). I really enjoyed the video!! WELL DONE!!!

Hi Hotrocks, glad you got it ok will keep an eye out mate, now you got me thinking Sandra yeah thats what we reckon to she is one tough chick i can tell ya glad you liked the vid to do with the other, oh well you carn't please everyone, but it's great to see the majority enjoyed it No didn't really give it much thought, as we were all using 5000's the only differences were the coil sizes at times and elliptical versus the round and all coils used were nuggetfinder brand.Would consider using another brand if they could go as deep or deeper than the Minelabs, but from what i know there is no such machine on the market.Yeah mate we are booked in already might see you there?

Come on Slick, you have an audience waiting on the edge of their seats. But don't do it for nothing, I reckon you could squeeze an ounce from each of the boys.

Thanks for that Mike I will pass on your well wishes to him when he calls.

Awesome video! By far the best prospecting video I have seen. Amazing skills displayed by all of the team in so many different areas. The greatest treasure has to be the team itself. Well done and thank you for sharing with the prospecting world. Dale we are all rooting for you.

Thanks Gldseeker to true about the team , yeah mate lets hope for a full recovery we have places to be and gold to find

Hi Bloodgold,

Sorry for the late reply mate! I started watching the vid at work a few weeks back but can't seem to get it to play now, have you removed it?

Cheers,

Hoff.

Hey fellas and Sandra -- what a great show you put on!   Bravo  I found it very inspirational -- clearly the research and dedication works well for you and you have a nice tight team that is effective on the ground.  That looks like bloody tough country to be slogging through, so you deserve the good finds!  Sounds like it is more of a health hazard walking down stairs in town though, than bush bashing.

Thank you for putting together a very watchable program -- it much have taken a lot of work in the filming and in the editing.  When you are out there going for it, taking time out to film must be a big distraction when all you want to do is dig that hole and get that gold!  I saw a reference to another program you are filming with a pro crew?  Are you going to be on Discovery channel?  Please share more when you can.

Good luck out there.  Are you running wireless headphones and battery on the detector?  It looked like it but I could not be sure.

cheers

Stephen.

Hi Steve
Both Dave and I use the little ripper wireless system.
Sandra and Tremain run standard battery to booster and twin speakers.
