There is definitely gold there but with the lack of tracks that cover the field there is a lot of walking involved. The easy gold is gone as the pros walked in as the gates opened. Many of which already knew the field from past experience but can now walk around freely. It is a beautiful...

Gold tally up from the last few trips. From Gladstone to Clermont and everywhere in between. 5.84 gram funnily enough from approx 5.8 days prospecting. I will up that average one day....just need the big nugget lol.

Just out of interest how small a piece of gold would a pin pointer pick up. I was looking at buying one last time i was at clermont but some of the gold i was finding barely budged the scales off 0.00

Sometimes it does pay to make your hole alot wider than your coil. When in highly mineralised ground you can lose a faint signal as you lower your coil into the hole and the machine struggles to ground balance and cancel out ground noise the deeper you go.

Mate read the post again. I dont think you understand. Never did i say i dont fill my holes. I simply stated some facts. So ill clarify just for you, i fill my holes and take the rubbish. But the frustration comes from moments like last time i went to the beach. A snotty nosed lady walked up to...

I understand the refill your holes when detecting part. But really? Its a beach my kids dig holes bigger than the average detectorist and build mountains a meter high. Yet no one complains when they are left. Then next kid comes along and just keeps making them bigger. Some people just have...

Well it didnt look like the trip was going to happen due to work. But at the last minute i decided to head on up for a quick trip. And im pretty happy with the returns from one 1 and a half days and my first trip to clermont. Thanx Eluvial for your info. Flat diggings, Bathampton and...

Thanx Eluvial, I will have a look through them and try to concentrate on just one of them while im there. This will be my first time out that way so i guess it will be more about learning the ground type and hopefully find some shallow ground. I dont mind digging trash to find nuggets though. :Y:

Possibly heading to Clermont for a couple of days at the end of this week. Ive heard bathampton maybe the go for some shallow ground to suit the sdc. Would this be a good place to spend a couple of days? Or would a different gpa be a better option?

Hi mate the nox is suited to tailing piles and very shallow ground. Around my neck of the woods the nuggets are small .1 - .4 g and ill pick them up at about 50 mm. On a 1 g you may get 100 mm but you may walk over it. The hardest thing is picking the nuggets from hot rocks and there are lots of...

Off to play with some explosives!!

Im up in Gladstone and kayak fish our salt water estuaries for bara and jacks. Although there are plenty of rumours ive never seen a croc here. Undoubtedly they are here as the fitsroy river is only 100 k north and loaded with crocs. But Gympie is a bit of a stretch and its fresh water which...

Crocs in gympie? :lol: :lol:

I downloaded this a few days ago and tried to pay my $11 and subscribe because ive heard some good things. However, it seems you must do the 7 day freebie first before they take your subscription money. Its currently annoying the hell outta me when every time you touch the map the subscription...

Found with the sdc Muk.

Is he walking?

Which is what happened in the states in the 1940's. A fire broke out on the ship and after failed attempts to put it out they decided to shut the hatches and steam it. Not realising, or forgetting that it creates its own oxygen. Affectively creating a pressure cooker the size of a ship.

Went out today for a quick swing with a local fella. Came up with some goods and learnt a fair bit about my local area in the process.

Ill go a little more low key on the qualifications list. But when you and your boys are regularly standing on up to 5000 tons of this stuff in a ship while unloading it, you try to know a little bit about something. Just because i have a motorbike liscence doesnt mean i can ride one. Ty

Ammonium nitrate doesnt actually need any oil or diesel to explode a fire alone is enough to make this happen. Ammonium nitrate will reach an explosive threshhold and self ignite at a certain temperature.
