Hello All
Im just checking out some new areas here in orange and I need some help with
these diggings I found.
I want to detect here but as always research is key and i dont want to waste my time.
I have attached some photos of the layers of dirt.
As always the old timers were digging down to...
mate before you go detecting in a spot do your research about what type of gold was found where, hillend is the worst place to detect because ALL the gold there was deep hard rock.
yeah this is true of the known historic gold areas most people just goto where others have found gold and i dont think this is a good idea as its mostly all gone. you need to find your own new area to find large amounts
actually prob too late but the original poster was right in saying leader veins are the ones which shoot off the main bedding vein.
proper leader veins will always have gold. if it doesnt contain gold its not a leader vein its just quartz.
the bedding vein is what contains the lode source of...
i got one of old man rons steel spring picks
pretty good but way too big for metal detecting
so i chopped the handle down 6 inches and narrowed the head by 1 inch and now its great!
OMFG.
GB is THE most important function on your machine. manual GB is the best.
unfortunately the gpcrap 4500 doesnt have manual ground balance it comes with a bunch of
pre loaded configs which can be good as you have found and bad as well.
the tracking type GB sux too as it WILL tune out...
i love watching you clowns play around with these new lcd detector settings lmao.
i just turn a knob.
listen, there is no magic setting
every single patch of ground is different.
the more you rely on your technology
the less in tune you are with what your actually walking over. and...
Yeah farmers are super Anal about their land
and the real reason is this.
if you jump the fence go detecting or whatever
and hurt yourself.
You can actually sue the land owner!
and you will probably win!
thats the real reason.
yep truth is the government in australia has become a machine. serving only to protect itself . a skynet if you will. no longer serving the people as its supposed to do. its investing in itself to rob you more and more.
