    Math Calculation for pumps and HB

    Detecting on Durikai

    No yella finds yet, my girl picked up a couple of specs at the creek down at Durikai but nothing else to report. Were gonna have a pan in the Thanes Ck and maybe a drive to Talgai state forest before going to the Twins again tomorrow.

We've been at it 3...
