So many people having problems with the 6000! I have dodged a bullet once more. When I bought my GPZ it worked just fine and never needed any remedial treatment or 'ring of confidence'. It paid for itself many times over with the best result a 27oz lump. Some of my friends had problems with...

goldierocks I enjoy reading your posts on geology as you have a deeper understanding than I do. Getting my mind around the immense amount of time, space and erosion that has taken place in relation to the formation of gold and its distribution has taken up a large part of my life, with rewards...

The area near Queenstown is littered with massive boulders over a very large area. Some are the size of a bus. This occurrence is quite visible from the road.

The granodiorite erratic in Victoria is known as the Crosbie erratic north of Heathcote and is the only example in Victoria of that form of granodiorite. The nearest form is in northern Tasmania.

Goldierocks, the granite to which you refer is indeed north of Heathcote on the fringe of the Permian deposits. Slight correction Wal. My gold experience has not been a hobby but a profession for which I paid tax from the introduction of gold taxation in 89- 90.

Flood gold is very fine. (Flour gold Mustard gold) Heavy gold can move quite some distance if locked up in boulders of conglomerate. I have stood by streams in flood and could hear boulders bumping along in the torrent.

EVIE/BEE, A few years back James Beatty and I discovered an unworked area where we proved up gold over several thousand acres. There were only a couple of 'spec' holes in this whole area and no workings. The old timers obviously liked the look of some of this ground but could not prove it up...

Nice to have someone teach me about gold deposits. What would I know?

Mod edit: Posts split to allow a new seperate discussion from: https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/threads/detecting-bigger-gold-in-nsw-alluvial-vs-eluvial.39752/#post-647814 Actually gold that is in a state of travel from reef to its point of rest is called colluvial.

Two sides to every story. More to this than meets the eye. Not a good idea to big note yourself on some BS 'reality' TV rubbish.

Despite strenuous quizzing, bugs, the builder of the QED is still unable to give a date at which the Auto ground tracking will be available. This is disappointing for those who purchased a PL4 which has auto tracking function printed on the control box, but has no auto tracking function...

Rush, just as a matter of interest, which 'upgrade' is in your QED? There seems to be a number of variations out there and no proper record of which version is installed in what model. Most confusing.

Rush, in regard to the auto track on the 6000 I have found that the tracking is so good that a manual option is not really necessary. This detector is capable of finding both tiny and large gold at depth. False signals due to carbon or hot ground spots can be tuned out by continued sweeps, but...

Just an update on the promised auto ground tracking. In response to a query on the AEGPF forum, Bugs has confirmed that there is still no auto tracking and has not set any agenda for this function. My advice to any QED PL3 owners is to keep this machine as a back up to your main use detector as...

Some of the bigger gold that I have found over the years did not need high tech as it was quite shallow. SDC would have found it, but I never liked the SDC and only used a borrowed one. Heavy and very poorly balanced. Never my detector of choice.

Might be chicken feed to you Jaros, but it is just another example of capitalism gone mad to the average poor bugger.

Just plain stupid to commit to something eleven years away. What a farce Tokyo is. Most Japanese don't want it. I wonder how many Australians want it. People like Coates want it because they make fortunes from it.
