[QUOTE="Colour&Shape, post: 520654, member: 16915"] well...if nothing else it was good to get out of the house for the day :argh: Packed the bug-out bag with my gear and grabbed my Garrett AT GOLD n travelled out to Reef Hills... Honestly it was great to gain some more experience with my equipment...signal/tones and hopefully learning some things. what I learnt about this location: - Hard hard ground. - Very rocky ground. - Lots and lots of rubbish (old and new) and bullet cartridges...omg soo many cartridges. took away a days worth of 'junk' rubbish (won't be digging that up for a 2nd time), and I think im learning to differentiate 'whats junk' and 'whats not', as im still getting my 'ear' in regarding Coil signals.... found 2 Australian Pennies - one from 1935 and one from 1911 so that was cool :D Despite the 'junk finds' it was fun to finally be in the field all the same. One thing is certain....nobody finds Gold sitting at home ;) Came home, did some more researching and looked at a couple of links like GeoVic and Avenza Maps so expanding my knowledge base slowly. Cant wait to get out n try my luck again - just thinking where next though.... might head to Eldorado/Mt Pilot area....no idea if its nuggie country there.... Wouldn't mind Panning & Sluicing along Reedy Creek at some stage but trying to save for a Highbanker atm Anyways just wanted to share my day with PA and I hope we all get lucky out there :pickshovel: [/QUOTE]
