Out in Talbot at one of my favorite spots that seems to be still delivering the goods. Running the 7000 in High Yield/Normal, and what a combination its deadly. I have also just uploaded a video showing the difference between the settings for those interested. https://www.prospectingaustralia.co...ages/5600/1599353687_-7211143773364605682.jpg

Interesting nuggets Tryhard and a very good video. It looks a bit better if you hold the phone the other way around ;)

I know very little about the GPZ7000 but the result is similar on the GPX4500 however we can rarely run it without the ground noise creating false signals. We nearly always run Enhanced.

You are sure having a great time out there. :(

The big thing for us Jaros is that we're out there away from all the Covid-19 troubles.

This photo was taken on 15th March 2020 and we've hardly been home since. We've not only been away but away from almost all human contact. The result from a prospecting point of view has been quite satisfying :)
 
You must have a big stash of supplies to be there all that time. Living the life out there ,hey ? Good `onya . Looks very peaceful. :perfect:

Yes, believe it or not, 1,600 tea bags were at the top of the list. Next was 8 dozen long life milk. We still haven't bought toilet paper and paper towel and we purchased all our stocks before any hint of covid-19. We still have quite a stock of rice, bread mix, soup, backed beans and spaghetti and those nice little tuna/chicken/rice prepacked meals found at Aldi. Use-by dates don't mean much around here.

Mrs M knows what to expect when heading for the goldfields each season. Asking when we'll be back is not likely to prompt a sensible answer :lol:
 
7.63 for a few days ain't too shabby :perfect: nice finds :beer: well and truly covered fuel and tucker I'm thinking.
 
Finally got out for a few hours with the young bloke today work has been cramping my style/time but thats how it goes got 4bits and dug a couple of crevices/cracks in a dry reek we have detected nuggets in before will see how that goes when I put it through my sluice fingers crossed didnt do any test pans due to lack of water and planing cheers muk
