Thanks oldfella,Just get out there and wander around in circles like I do most of the time and enjoy the zen moments What a Face

As we always say;gold is just a bonus cheers

cheers moredeep

Oldfella Sun Jul 10, 2022 9:31 pm

Yes you are spot on Smile

My wife and I love spending time detecting, even without finding gold. In our area it is getting difficult to actually get onto land since the Crown Lands Department have stopped access too a lot of the spots around here Sad

A catch up with axtyr and bob today and it was glorious detecting weather.
Pinged 4 bits [1.046gms ] and a couple from a few days ago.
I'm not sure how the other fellows ended up for the day, each had snagged a piece each before I'd left.

Axtyr Thu Jul 14, 2022 7:46 pm

I haven't cracked open the specimen yet. The other pieces weighed 0.17 gram, 0.12 gram and 0.14 gram. Will post photos tomorrow hopefully.

Regards Axtyr.

Great weather for a scratch here in vic, unfortunately a chilly burst is on its way.
Slim pickings as usual [ 1.4 gms ] but that's the way its is these days.
Points of a gram still make me happy cheers

and that's the main thing in these weird times:D Very Happy

cheers moredeep

At least you're finding something, and consistently. Not bad at all.

regards Axtyr.

Just being out bush detecting for gold, away from the hustle & bustle is a joy in itself, not alone finding gold moredeep, well done. cheers

Another nice arvo in central vic today.
Mozzies all year round now Evil or Very Mad

and the inch ants are on the move.
1.1 gms today, the top two from the same hole which was in a tough conglomerate type gravel..

cheers moredeep

It was a funny old weekend, my 4wd is out of action so it's back to the old family wagon which has limited my access to the bush.
As a believer in fate, Friday arvo produced a bit over a gram [ 2 on the left ]
Saturday was the same place a very flogged spot and that produced a speci that had 3 bits in it [centre] also bumped into a newbie with a gold monster and tried to point him in the right direction.
While sitting there sipping on a beer late in the afternoon 4 young women wandered up the track all kitted out with new detectors ,boots and picks, I gave them a little gold advice and donated a sub grammer for them to try their detectors on, they were stoked, gotta share the love:lol:
And today was a complete surprise whilst dodging the showers, 4 bits for just over 2 grams for a total of 3.6 gms, go figure Laughing

The things you see out in the bush.

You're doing well out there, keep it up.

A nice score today.
These old coins are getting harder to find now.
Plus the age of some of these coins are amazing.

Beautiful weather but the gold is playing hard to get, point 4 of a gms for the last 3 days.
Be on the look out for the occasional widow maker, spotted some nasty ones at Daylesford.
The one pictured was somehow suspended mid air by a thin sapling, it looked like a strange trap.
The other pic was at the local park, a pine limb was embedded some 10 to 12 inches into the ground, scary stuff affraid

Keep an eye out for them.

A few tiddlers form the last couple of weeks.
plus a surprise conglomerate speci crush [speci pic on previous page] I could only see two pieces in it but it weighed in at whopping 1.85gms cheers

and has a slight kangaroo shape to it, the other is a 0.45gmer.

cheers moredeep

adrian ss Mon Sep 12, 2022 6:52 pm

Well it is good to know it still out there to be found aye!
The only bits I get to see these days is what I have stashed away in a box in my work room....or is it up in the roof cavity?.. Struth , can't remember where I hid ut. Shaking Head

moredeep Mon Sep 12, 2022 7:38 pm

It might be in your tooth cavity ? Q35

Kon61gold Mon Sep 12, 2022 7:39 pm

Nice going, well done moredeep.
I've said this on more than one occasion in the past, only our detector/coil timings have their limits, but only the gold bearing ground knows how much more gold lays in wait, just out of detector/coil reach.

Cheers Kon T25

moredeep Mon Sep 12, 2022 7:51 pm

I've been using the little 8 inch coil again and poking it in places where it doesn't belong and snagging a few.
I can wave that little coil at rapid pace and cover a good area, appears to work Shocked

I visited a mate in Maryborough vic today for his 70th,and as usual I was keen to get out into the gold fields for a scratch.
After gifting him some nice reds and a few beers I was on my way, the weather was wild & windy with some sideway rains [kept the mozzies away ]
I wasn't expecting any miracles but managed to ping these little nuggies around .75gms the smallest was 0.06 of a gram What a Face

The drive home was spectacular with a double rainbow that lasted the entire 40 min drive back to Castlemaine.[pic doesn't show intensity of the rainbow though ]
Cairn Curran reservoir was full and all the creeks and rivers were flowing beautifully cheers

M8 for a second there i thought you'd popped over to Ukraine no doubt about ya for someone detecting as long as you have to still have the GOLD BUG ADDICTION , good onya ,more patience than i have M8 i too love that 8'' & 5'k combo , me using 8'' dd ,swapping to mono ,depending on what i'm detecting and my mood at that moment , the 11'' ml dd's & monos are great too , but its the target identification clarity that appeals to me mostly . M 8 as far as rain bows go ,i have twice in the same grader and fencline a few weeks apart, whilst screaming up them with the blade up to try and see their ends ,did so ,whilst not finding any pots of GOLD , did find the colours reflected onto the ground , which to me M8 answered a old wives tale that many of us '' affected ''

moredeep Sat Sep 17, 2022 9:47 pm

Hi hugh62,yeah it does look a bit Ukrainian:lol:
The 8 inch is a little ripper, I'm always impressed with it's sensitivity,.06gms-now that is fly spec Laughing

Kon61gold Sat Sep 17, 2022 11:42 pm
