Chilly night for a swing ... 24/4/12

Hi all , Caught up with TheGoldenChild last night for a swing . We decided to to bite the bullet & prospect a local area we have talked about for a while but always put it on the back burner . The weather cleared up here in Bendigo in the late evening so when Manny arrived we loaded up & headed out around 11.00pm .
This was our maiden voyage in this new area & our sights were set to retrieve atleast one piece to warrant tagging this place for a more thorough search .
Well we achieved our goal & we are now planning the assault to hit this place hard very soon .
As mentioned in the vid - It was @#$*!! Cold ....
Thanks for the company Manny & look forward to smashing this place
Regards
Gully Hunter

great find and really enjoyed the video congrats guys



cheers starry

Well done guys.

Gully Hunter do you think your detector runs smoother with the cold?

G.B.

Hey Bro's,

Nice find and look forward to seeing what else comes form the area??

Night detecting on a night like that, you boys are tough.

One question did you rip your jeans on any barbed wire??? LOL

Peter

Thanks guys ... Hi G.B , the reason it is running smooth is because i am running it in Audio-Quiet , but i am running the gain on 14 & the stabiliser on 11 with the motion set on very slow .
As you can see by the vid the ground is fairly shallow before it hits the hard gravel base - hence being able to run it in Audio-Quiet & not miss much at all . We regularly dig a test hole to determine the depth of the ground , from these results the settings can be tweaked to suit .
My usual settings were really chattery & singing out on false signals ... so to answer your question G.B i honestly couldnt say that i noticed the difference in the cold . But the detector definately runs quieter at night .

Well deserved boys. Hope there's heaps more. cheers Pete.

got to love the night runs as it's so quiet and you hear every little target....it's been a few months since my last night run might have to do one soon i thinks...awesome find mate well done.
cheers

Certainly was cold bro but well worth the effort .
Can't wait to hit the area again, huge potential.

Mariner they are designer jeans ripped from factory , just because we are in the bush doesn't mean we can't dress up for the occasion .

Manny, you make me laugh

Good luck with it boys

Pete

Very nice piece of gold there GH and nice digging by the Goldenchild well done guys and a great vid too.

Congrats,

Cheers DINGO

Nice job boys loverly little nugget and a good vid as well. But I don't think I could hack it out at night at this time of year, like my comforts of home with a warm bed. I look at it this way "the nuggets" will still be there in the morning.

Nice one gully hunter, you should try panning at this time of the year, after 5 mins I couldnt feel my arms, and I only found 5 specs for 5 hours panning :>)

Well done Glen and Manny Enjoyed the video and good coil work as usual You got to love the sound of the coil closing in..especially when the target is gold.

Cheers Bill
