I’ve had a Forester for years now and it’s performed well in all kinds of conditions, sand, mud and snow, rough terrain. The only time I’ve got into trouble was when I was driving beyond my skill level and without the right gear, i.e. getting bogged in a snow covered drain without snow chains...

Yeah I've found them too, no idea what they are, I called them long pink worm too!

Bluecurrant, I don't think you're too far from the source. My understanding is as the rocks decompose the gold is released, if by above the ground you mean in the air then not necessarily. The decomposing/weathering can take place under the soil line I believe, with the heavy bits of gold...

Mine came with the beach mode but havent used it yet. As for what update its part of I dont know. Mode 16 is used when there is effectively no ground to balance against like sand, I think it can give you more depth. Im sure someone with more knowledge will add to this. B

That's the one SinHof. The book is Metal Detecting for Gold & Relics in Australia by Douglas Stone, Bob Sargent and Sharman Stone - ISBN 0 9596392 1 7

The reason for the lead shot all over the GT is because nightly during the rush the old timers used to fire their weapons into the air. Sometimes this could last hours and one of the reasons was to keep the guns clean and serviceable, though I'm sure it was fun too! I read that in a book last...

Thanks For the prompt reply!

Sounds like a good package, are the batteries the 3600mAh ones? What's the expected run time with the supplied batteries?

Thanks mate.

Thanks for the banjo info guys. I was looking a few years ago at them and there is very little information about them on the net, let alone videos. I would love to understand a little more about them like why are the riffles only on the lower half? Looking forward to further updates. B

Great video HTY! That's one way to make a sluice, hope you got a sample from from the floor of the mine and the entrance :)

Good luck to you HTY! I would love to do something similar but I don't have the skills, yet :) I look forward to hearing about you adventuers.

XIV, it's the right call mate. Family does come first. It's scary how quick kids grow up, I wish some times I could slow life down, but then they fight and that dream goes away! Count me in for a dig too!

Thanks jethro, that's some great info there. I was thinking the split would have been closer to 80/20 but at those ratios above it's certainly worth the time to recover the gold. Well done!

Wow jethro, that's a great setup! It makes my dolly pot look redundant! Do you find you get more gold with the first crushing through the flail mill or the rod mill? Thanks for sharing.
