Awesome finds mate-especially for someone whos only been at it a few weeks.

For settings there were only a few that I ever played with and changed, namely RX gain which I would run as high as possible before getting EMI etc generally I ran that anywhere between about 11 and 16 or so, generally higher in the cooler months and lower in summer as you seem to get a heap...

Hey mate- my sadie used to practically live on my 5000 and probably payed for its self 20 times over. Heres a few tips: - Don't be afraid to rub it on the ground. The sadie is made for getting the small stuff, and with a lot of those small faint signals you wont hear them unless your rubbing it...

Hey mate- my Sadie hardly ever comes off my 5000- absolute dynamite on the small stuff. As for depth on the bigger stuff ive pinged a couple bits around the 5 gram mark at about 8 inches or so. Also recently dug a hole in the side of a spoil pile that ended up being mid thigh depth, 25-30 inches...

Thanks mate, am happy-but who wouldnt like bigger nuggets :P

Well i havent posted in a while so thought id throw up a few recent photos, nothing real exciting unfortunately, just some small stuff. :)

Took me a few months. first bit was a 6 grammer about 10" down that give a real faint signal- i actually heard it and walked a few steps past it before i decided to go back and recheck- even then i wasnt real sure if it was a signal or ground noise but luckily decided to scrape a few inches of...

Hey mate, Buy the latest model minelab PI you can afford, so if price isnt an issue go for a GPX5000, if price is an issue work back from there-GPX 4500,4000, GP 3500, 3000, extreme, etc. Personally i started with a GP extreme which aint a bad detector but finds were few and far between- since...

Looks like you got a few nice bits there mate- definetely bigger than the stuff i normally get. :)

Yeah pretty happy gcause- of course they could have been bigger though :lol:

Thanks Willo.

Awesome finds there mate.

Nice finds there mate- i can just imagine a heap of detector holes now appearing around the 9th hole of the cue golfcourse :) Are they recent finds- or from a while ago?

Yeah agree with that mate- infact i dont think ive even taken the sadie off in months, its hard to take it off when youre almost guaranteed a couple of little bits.

Thanks guys. Yeah a bit of gold up this way Ben78, just gotta know the spots- just like everywhere else i guess.

Heres one i got with the goldbug but had trouble as i kept losing the signal, so i threw all the spoil pile i had dug into a bucket and panned it off later. Definately a few more for the goldbug to find in this particular area. :)

Picked up this lot while camping over the weekend. 36 in total in for 7.9g. This one here kept me guessing for a while untill i got it back to camp to smash up And finally free Picked up the majority with my 5000 and sadie but got a few of the smaller ones with my Gold Bug 2.

Awesome finds there mate, im in the pilbara my self and dont find anything near that big unfortunately!! Anyway i hope they keep coming for you. Are you up this way for a while or is that the trip over and done with?

Ive tried quite a few different things for cleaning up gold and nothing beats Alibrite, youve just got to be careful using it ie wear gloves and glasses. Drop your nuggets in a plastic container with the Alibrite for about 3 days and give the container a bit of a shake once a day or so. They...

Im pretty sure they sold out of Nuggets from down under and are not associated with them anymore, but yeah you are right in that it was them.They have a face book page called gold tours now. I had a mate that did one of the 10 day tours and loved it, got over a hundred little nuggies.
