Mojoless 24

Has anyone got a detector for findings one's mojo?
I've caught a dose of the can't be's lately.
I've been out a few times but struggle to get enthused , a few tiddlers sparked me up some.
Hopefully with some cooler weather on its way I'll dig up that MOJO

Well from past exp I know what it is like to loose The Mojo.
I did not worry too much about it and and let the detecting slide for a few months and went back an old interest completely different to detecting. Astronomy. Dragged out a couple of my scopes, cleaned them up. re aligned the mirrors and started scanning the night sky again, purchased a beaut star tracker and tried my cameras out on this gadget. This kept my interest motor ticking over for a while and regenerated the ole mojo once more..  So that be my advice, fire up an interest that you like that is totally different to detecting........Or take it easy and wait for this stinking hot weather to abate

We have 38 Deg C in the shade of the back yard wattle tree today. Okay so maybe that is not all that hot compared to some places in the NT but it is bloody hot enough to keep me inside and

Can't speak for anybody but myself.
Went and got a pacemaker installed, it increased the hart beat by 20 bpm.
Then a dose of B12, still didn't get the old legs moving any faster.
But the will to move them is back, so when cooler weather come around.
I'll be going like the "Energizer Bunny"

Can't beat a new set of spark plugs in the old ticker Ivan and good luck Adrian on your tune up.
I'll just have to get my trusty whip out and flagellate myself a little in the bush
All the best fella's, find a chunky one.

Well; I gave myself a good talking to, chilled the beer and gave the 5000 a pep talk.
bingo

Great work moredeep, I hear what your saying about trying to get the mojo back. I'm trying to find mine

Well done moredeep. Had the same issues of finding ones mojo not too long back, but now with the much more comfortable weather on the horizon, it didn't take me long to get my mojo back & back on to the bread crumbs. Regardless of size found, with the price of gold these days, I'll comfortably take the bees boots in way of colour & size.

Slim pickings out there [that's point one ]
Found this little fella in a speci on an old flogged surfaced area.
I poked the little sadie under a tree stump and got a little murmur .
It took a while to find it amongst the crushed quartz. oh well its gold

Always take the high road, the wheel rut on the right was over 400mm deep and when covered with water looks meek.
A few tiddlers here and there just to keep my whistle wet




cheers moredeep

Good on you moredeep. A bit of colour at the end of ones hunt, is better than no colour at all.
The weather is perfect for prospecting at the moment. I've got to make an effort to get out more myself.

First little clunker of the season
plus a gram+ tiddler.
The mojo is improving

cheers moredeep

Any form of colour, can only be good colour. Well done moredeep.

Kon

Well done moredeep
That’s what we are after !
Never surrender

I never do staples, I enjoy my reward beer to much after each outing


cheers moredeep

Good work moredeep, I'm green with envy  

Cheers,

Thanks oldfella, the last 2 bit were loners, I've been back a few times to this spot and not a cracker more
Beside the yella stuff being scarce the bush fantastic at the moment



cheers moredeep

Fantastic weather for detecting, a few tiddlers here and there but otherwise not much to report.



cheers moredeep

A nice few days in the scrub this week.
A revisit to a well and truly flogged spot produced 3 tiddlers to my amazement.
Just gotta put the coil over and all got with the little ripper of a coil;the sadie




cheers moredeep

The tiddlers have been few and far between with the last 4 outings producing zippo.
Yesterdays effort on the left came in at a whopping .730gms and the others from last week about .3gms
When the going is slow it's always good to catch up on the Zen moments in the bush, a couple of fungi enjoying the sun.

The outback, just like the ocean, is the living life. More people should get out there & enjoy it. Nice bits of colour, well done.

Cheers Kon

Took the detector for a 2 hour bush walk today, very pleasant indeed.
On the very last dig for the day up popped a little nugget just inches away from an old scrape,that's life I guess?




cheers moredeep

Nice one moredeep, well done.
The variables involved with metal detecting for gold, can change with each passing day & no one, can comprehend it all. Just when one thinks its all gone, done & dusted, it rears its glint of colour, time & time again.

Good one. Im gonna guess you checked the old scrape too yes?
Iv done pretty good over the years doing that and finding gold others discount as maybe a ground noise.

I have had that happen to me a few times over the years, sometimes resulting in a decent find; But on that note, I am sure that there has been times when I have left gold for others as well :-)
And Kons last comment is spot on. There are just so many variables, that's why If I have found gold in a certain area I will do that area many times from different angles, different coils, anything to get that missed bit of yellow.

Cheers.

A quick visit to Wedderburn the other day for non gold reasons but I manage to squeeze in a couple hours detecting.
It's great looking country but boy has it been flogged, I managed two tiddlers at hard hill [hard alright ]
