Come on Condor, You're jesting, 250g mobile put you off balance, put the gold you find in your opposite pocket and you will straighten up.

Leave the mongrel phone at home you don't need it, your heart won't stop if you're not hugging your mobile AND you will find more gold without the advertisement interruptions.. :lol: :lol:
I don't have a mobile grafted to my ear like some of the younger set, lol, or walk around with my nose glued to it. I kinda exaggerated a little relative to the size of the bloody thing back then. I wasn't prospecting in those days
, but I did need it at the time as I was sole trade contracting and that was money in the pocket.
However there are 2 things with mobiles for me..... 1st and foremost, I turn mine off when I go to bed, I've had wrong number calls from overseas at 4 a.m. before, lol. 2nd, I rarely carry it when detecting and if I do it's switched off as when it communicates with the network as they all do, it interferes with the detector audio.
Although my home NBN has a phone number attached, I only got telemarketers calling it, so I unplugged it, rolled up the cord and threw it in a box in the shed, problem solved.
I think many don't use home phones nowadays, noticeable by the phone book getting thinner every year.

PS - Not on topic, but I picked up a Pylontech 100AH Lithium for the van today and my mate reprogrammed my Victron controller to suit, even tho' it doesn't have a Lithium profile.
