12 Weeks To Find First Gold (Persistence Pays).

[Minelab Gold]

Looks to good to scar it up. I noticed ya have a tig . I've hard faced mine with the the tig and is a much neater process than using an arc . I didn't know you could hard face with a tig until recently. Lasts a lot longer but still needs a touch up every now and then.

Hi Bjay, yeah one day I might even face it up with a 5HSS or similar, much like hard wearing auger, dozer, bucket blades and teeth etc, to give it that tough edge.

Its only the 200 - but does the job well.

Cheers

I bet it was much faster digging with the pick. Slicing through the dirt like butter.

[Pirate pete]

very nice bro bet your glad you had a sharp pick lol you would still be trying to cut that tree root .Good on ya mate .PP

 

[Minelab Gold]

Thanks Pete,

I was thinking the exact same thing when I hit the tree root, I wouldn't have even attempted it before. The bloody thing would have bounced back and smacked me in the chops I reckon.

Slices through just superb now.

Cheers

Good vid thanks mate, and some nice bits. That minelab is a pearler.

 

[Minelab Gold]

Thanks for the feedback guys,

Yeah it was a good couple of hours out, struck those in first hour then nothing except a buck shot among red hot magnetic ironball country.

 

[Minelab Gold]

Well today was absolutely amazing guys.

Someones assumption was one of my gains today, a scrape mark from a previous operator and walked away. Beats me why - when you see and hear the response in the vid you will all be saying why would anyone think thats not worth digging.

After that one though - Whoa

 

[Bjay]

Waiting,waiting. I'm sure I'm going to see it and say at one point that was probably me who walked away( not that specific one but) I've since changed my ways.

 

[Minelab Gold]

Nice one Bjay,

Just uploading now, should be up in about 10 minutes - takes a while to get them together.

I recently had to walk away from an awesome target.
It was in like calcrete super hard to dig took me about half an hour to dig down about a hand length.
Then i realised i was late for my pick up.
So had to fill it back in and run.

Now i cant stop thinking about it.

 

[Dignit]

Better get back there LC.
