All,

Thought I'd get a couple of hours in before the GT heats up again. While the video provides a user guide to "How not to retrieve a target"  V11 , I finally popped out a nice golden slug to celebrate our national day  Q16 . My excuse was that the bush was too thick to swing a cat and who finds a bit of steel in the same hole as gold in the middle of nowhere.

Hope you enjoy the comedy act  Q25 and happy Australia Day to all  T14 .

Well done GemQ nice bit of gold.

Don't worry about the recovery process we have all had many like that. Probably more than we care to admit.

Great reward for effort there GemQ.

What a pearler and very well done. Q38

If I come across one like that in this weather I would have knocked off and gone for a Q11

Very nice find GemQ, T12   Fingers crossed V23  that you checked your pile before you back filled hey. You could have easily walked away from that one. V12  I reckon the odds are always very high that out in the middle of no where you can come across a piece of crap.....& gold in the same hole. Sweet find.

Good luck out there
