It might be a whole lot more elusive to find, but its still out there awaiting for someone to swing over it. Shocked Laughing
5 small bits, over two 4hr afternoon stints with the GPZ 7000, for just over 2 grams of gold in weight. cheers

Nice going there Kon. I know it's out there but I think it keeps moving away from me lately. Everyone says how the Whipstick is completely thrashed but I keep finding lots of shotty pellets and other rubbish down deep, so there still has to be gold mixed in with it.

Regards Axtyr.

Great score Kon, yep very much the same point I was trying to make, need to be a seasoned prospector these days, it really does equate to hours spent on the ground, good luck squeezing a few more hunts In before the heat turns.

G'day ladies/gents

Even though the times are tough out there & the pickings in way of colour maybe slim & small, the gold ain't going to come to us, but to the ones who are prepared to put in the ground time.
Next to diving, fishing & hunting, prospecting for gold out bush, has to be right up there with the best of them. Smile
A few tiny bits of gold found over 3 separate 3hr stints. cheers

There's some nice size pieces there. Well done.

I hope to be getting out as soon as the school holidays are over and it is cool enough.
