Heading out camping

Decided to pack the car and detector up and go camping, hope the rain holds off:)

a front is suppose to be coming through on wednesday with more rain.

I hope the rain does hold off for you JnG, but we are supposed to get 4 inches this week up here so Ballarat being Ballarat Hopefully you're not camped near there
I'm hoping that the rain does hold off later in the week cause that's my 3 days off.

Good luck

so how did you go julz? At least there will be plenty of water for panning, lol.
Thinking i might take myself to do just that on my next days off (gee, if i get days off)

Anyone else have to work xmas day through to new year???

GSGPX... after the new year perhaps with luck we get at least 1 day off the same to catch up for that swing!

I get Xmas day off TH (they didn't want to pay tripple time) waiting on my roster now but we are going to be around the corner from you for a day or two.

Just got back, went out Beauford way, was a lovely time, prospected and toasted marshmellows, rain held off. Didnt get to do any night detecting, just couldnt see in the dark lol, had the fluro's from Aldi but just not enough light hehe, bloody big huntsman climbed in the tent, I forgot to close the zip on the screen

Yeah I'm really thinking of panning, trying to think of the best part of the creeks to go to, any ideas?

GSGPX.... sms me when your in town and i'll see what im doing. But im doing nights starting xmas day and ending NY eve.

Julz... you would have some great creeks up your way. I cant wait to give them a go myself one day soon. I pan the far west of the triangle, so i dont know about your area. Its probably a case of 'pick a creek and pan', lol. Just remember to pan the inside bends, look for any sign that the water flow can slow down, such as rock bars/rocks, crevices and dig down to the bedrock or into the clay

Ok Howard, thanks for the tips

let us know how you get on with the panning Think i'll head north thursday for a go myself. Hey julz, what detector do you have?
