[QUOTE="bytraper, post: 295573, member: 9003"] You know, I don't actually mind the heat down there, it doesn't bother me anywhere near as badly as it does here. Its because the heat there is a DRY heat, whereas here, we always have a really high humidity, which obviously makes you a lot wetter than is comfortable! But dry heat, I'm comfortable with! I'll wear a hat and likely either go out very early in the morning or very late in the evening... I'm half keep to try some night detecting, but with the diggings and lack of awareness of the areas Im keen, but not THAT keen... Quartz King of Bendigo? lol I've never heard of that before! My folks told me that there was one really successful businessman in Bendigo in the early years that owned at least half of the Bendigo town center! When he died, he supposedly had no family he cared for and left everything to the Catholic Church! (You know, because they cry poor and need money) HarryHoudini, that's some pretty solid advice that I will in fact get onto right now! I didn't even remotely consider it but that's a really, REALLY good piece of practical advice! Whoever envisions being bitten by snakes? My mindset had me holding a huge chunk of gold skyward as I basked in my own glory.. Wasn't really picturing myself cowering in the fetal position, covered in snakes who were feeding on me...! Thanks for the ideas regarding locations! I never did much checking outside of the Bendigo area, I'll get some maps for Wedderburn and Bealiba and see what public land is available there for a few swings of the machine! Thanks dude! [/QUOTE]
