Re: Just a couple
I went back over a few of your photos tonight. Just to see, sigh. Anyway the 0.4g you posted on 26 May may be a worn crystalline nugget. Have you noticed a crystalline shape?

Re: Just a couple

No yella stuff today but found a very nice 2 troy ounce weight.[Very honest gold dealer,Its weight was 1.98oz ]
Next target gave me a bit of a rush as it was right next to the weight,a lump of good looking LEAD!


The other item appears to be a silver coated shield .All in all a nice day in the scrub.
To all you in lock down; hang in there,the gold will still be there waiting for you

got a beautiful wobbly warbling signal,dug down through some nice red sticky clay,then the pick hit some thing nice and solid.
The ol ticker got a bit excited and bingo a non retirement lump of rustic rust![]()

Re: Just a couple

Some close up au candy for you all in lockdown,small tiddlers from the last few weeks , 9.8 gms in total.
It's been a challenge detecting very noisy ground,wet reacting soils,dropped the rx and running audio in quiet just to cope.
A lot of good sounding signals had to be dug but only to disappear once at 4-6 inches depth crazy stuff

Hang in there everyone,you're doing a great job

Re: Just a couple


I can't call myself young a silly anymore,went out in the full blast of winter today,let me say that it was invigorating

Roaring winds,cold,wet, dark and muddy,took sometime to find this tiddler amongst the sloppy mud in my scoop.
It's hard to imagine how depressing it would have been for the digger stuck up in the hills in this weather in a dodgy old tent.
I guess plenty of rum some baccy and a mouth organ and hopefully a dog to talk to may have helped

Time for a nip myself

By the way fresh pineapple [not tinned or bottled ] is amazing for gout,google gout and pineapple.

It's good to see that some people are getting out prospecting. Only another 2 months for us by the look of it. We can only hope for better times.

We have family in lock down as well,haven't seen them in many months.
We have taken to sending surprise packages to them and the kids,lots of nice edible delicacies,just to try and help break the monotony.
Hang in there

Re: Just a couple


Things are crook in tallarook,hard going for the last couple of weeks,including an injured right thumb,boy that little digit is very important when it come to detecting and digging

Any how it's on the improve,just had to change my digging style to a scrapping style

Some tiddlers to show from the last two days,also a crazy pocket of extremely hot mineralized pocket of clay,as you can see a very dark patch in the middle,jeez it sounded good

Hopefully lock down will end soon for all the melbournites,chunky gold awaits you

Nice day out in the scrub,pinged a nice 1.2 gmer down 15 cm.
Very wet ground making digging a challenge near creek beds.
Found this other strange object,any thoughts to what it is?
I thought it might be a rope guide that is hammered into a rock face sort of like a rock climbing piton???? ,the area had no rock ledges or mine shafts.
