Vic Prospecting Restrictions Lifted, whos getting out?

[jethro]

As the title says. Prospecting is back on the can do list. So first thing tomorrow (not working I hope) im off to retreive the stone I piled up the weekend before lockdown

 

[RM Outback]

Not this week hopefully next couldn't have been timed any better for me my workload will be 50% as of the end of this week :beer: bring it on. Hopefully the big rains haven't washed your rocks away :argh:

 

[Redfin]

I'm already here, just need to drive down the road 5 minutes. Was going to go out this morning but a good bit of rain overnight stopped that plan. Will re-evaluate after lunch.
So she'd day, might service the chainsaws.

 

[Northeast]

Been and back for a couple of hours this morning.

Found some lovely examples of lead shot, tin, .22 projectiles. Dont care though, just nice to be out.

You had rain Redfin?

RM - nice to hear works easing off.

Jethro - hope the rock plays out nicely :Y:

 

[Sandbagger]

Geez it was good to be back out there today, even if it was limited to 30k from home.(TAS). I was like a kid at the show, didn't know what I wanted to do first so I spent 3 hours panning, 3 gold detecting and finished off with a couple of hours relic hunting. Think I may have lost a bit of match fitness during the lockdown cos I'm feeling it now but a couple of coffees in the morning and I should be good to go again!

 

[jethro]

Hey all glad to hear you're back into it. RM, we havent had a lot of rain up here today. The rocks I piled up were in an area burnt by bushfires back before Xmas. The DELWP had only just opened it up on Labour day weekend Just before wuhan flu hit. The wattle was starting to come back then, So Im hoping the scrub isnt too thick again by now.
Im sure my neighbor's are sick of me smashing rocks in the backyard :argh: , its time to put the hammer mill back in the ute and take it with me.

Dave I know what you mean. Id like to fit in a short deer hunt as well and the wood supply is getting down so a few logs wouldnt go astray either.

 

[Dave79]

:Y: Chop, pan,sluice, detect, shoot,rinse and repeat!

 

[jethro]

Dave, I cant carry all that gear at once, I know this because Ive tried :awful: it also always results in failure in every field. If I concentrate on just one aspect I tend to do better and not miss seeing deer because im looking at rocks.

 

[deepblue]

Went out for a few hours in perfect sunshine 5 pieces in all.

Just small ones but still gold.

Amen, this is the sort of can do attitude we should all be aspiring to. :Y:

 

[Solid Luck]

I have pizzas on the menu this weekend for one of the kids birthdays.
That's more important (to me) than going out to dig junk out of the ground.
Maybe the weekend after.

Hope you all find your retirement junk. :Y: ower:

 

[Chewy]

I'm busy watching episodes of Hogan's heroes, researching ways to get past the minefield, razor wire, and machine gun towers at the border. I was thinking a tunnel, but that's a lot of dirt to move for no gold. Maybe I could disguise myself as a bush and sneak across. :lol:

 

[Redfin]

Beautiful sunny day here in Dunolly. Got some wood to split then going out for a few hours.

 

[Redfin]

Mrs Redfin happy ?

 

[kiwifred]

Went for a drive down to Slaty Creek yesterday.... and by the look of it, so did half of Ballarat. People everywhere...

 

[madtuna]

yeah...that's why I didn't go

I know a bloke who's planning on visiting this weekend :lol: I'll try and get hold of him and let him know to get in early. Mind you it stands to reason everywhere will be busy, this weekend especially given the weather :Y: absolutely perfect erfect: I was going to give the boat a run this weekend until I found out it's my grandsons 5th birthday next Monday and he wants to ride his peewee 50 in the paddock on Saturday plus he wants a fire to cook marshmellows, so the boat can stay dry for another week. Planning to detect from mid week Wednesday to Friday if I can tie up a few loose ends before then, really keen to find some small gold and grab some dirt to bring home for the really cold days

I'm just happy knowing everything I just wrote isn't a fantasy :lol: :beer:

 

[Outback]

yeah...that's why I didn't go

Your video about the toilet paper barter had me & some mates laugh our guts out
Do some more please .. better then going out !

Rob I think it may be . Proof will be in the pudding. layful:
