McDonald’s Flat GPA is 5 mins from Clermont town and still produces if your persistent, I’ve heard of nugs to 8 grams recently, has been flogged yet somehow keeps giving but this is not the norm usually sub grammers, lots of dozer scrapings etc there and closest to Theresa ck dam side of town...

Both the 12x7 and 14x 9 found about the same number of small nugs on average. I would Definately say the 14 x 9 is more sensitive on the tiniest of pieces say under 0.05. I found two microscopic targets left them in the ground with the gold hawk and the 12 x 7 didn’t register them but they were...

I remember $9.99 Tooheys throw downs for a carton. Dad used to drink KB beer or Reschs at dinner time. $1 for a pack of smokes and $1 schooies at the rsl. The nite club had $1 spirits Thursday nites and petrol was 48 c a litre. We used to watch the Paul Hogan show it was hilarious but now deemed...

Spent a few days in Clermont the grass is long and it was bloody hot. Too hot for me after lunchtime. Ended up just under 5 grams biggest .94 of a gram.

You could download the app trilobite and pay for Qld gold subscription and check if there’s any old mines on your property or try panning in the gullies. This is the simplest method to indicate if there’s any gold present. Good luck.

When I went we could go anywhere on the property except for in the present cuts. Heaps of gold was found where they had excavated down to about 6 metres then backfilled and abandoned the area. Over 100 pieces found on the tour I did, some in the bush but mostly in the old mined areas with bits...

I’m not sure how to post the link so just google Gokden Prospecting Tours for 1870 all the info is on their webpage. If you go it may be beneficial to hire an sdc or a 6 or 7 they have them for hire. Good luck.

Hi Stu, If you’re chasing gold then Gympie or Kilkivan or even Fig Tree camp would all be well within reach. Are you into panning, detecting maybee or after gemstones? A bit more info will help members direct you better. Cheers

My wife just lay byed a Gpx 6 k about 2 weeks ago after her first trip to 1870 Clermont she loved it. Just found out today they have a special on save $400 or get a free 17 “ coil if u pay before October 22. Achievable but contemplating the aftermath. I flunked a similar deal with mine received...

Quick detect this morning for a 0.2 picker at the creek.

Saw this Emu with 5 chicks cruising the other day on a track. Pretty cool to see.

I’ve spotted two browns this week one on my driveway and another at Clermont. They are out in the warm weather, Snaketember is the snakiest month in my parts for sure.

At work we had a researcher who did his doctorite on heat stress give us a big insight into hydration it was great. He stipulated breakfast was important for the minerals etc and I asked him wich hydration drink actually worked. He said water with a bit of salt was the same as any commercial...

Spent 5 days with the wife at 1870 Clermont pay to detect. Wifey got around half of the bits and is addicted now so buying another 6! Ended up with 33 bits from .05 to .7 and got some good tips on ground reading veg/geology and technique from Leigh and Ned. Saw some bigger pieces found to 4g by...

Spent 5 days in Clermont with both the 12x7 and 14 x9. Ran both coils on sensitivity 2. Both good coils found 33 bits in total all small, found most with the gold hawk and got plenty where the 2300’s had been over. I prefer the 14x9 super sensitive and quiet whereas the 12x7 does give off...

Thanks mate much appreciated better than I thought for sure.

Heading away soon and hiring another 6000 for wifey along with mine, so my question is how close can we detect together. Can we aim them towards each other and noise cancel? Or is it more suitable to stay a long distance apart? Thanks for any advice!

I’ve had a few sessions with mine it’s a good shape . Definately a bit quieter than the stock coil overall but it does seem to give a few false signals when i scrape it or bump bits of grass, rocks etc. I just received the 14 x 9 and will be taking both to Clermont in a month so hopefully find...

I just received the 14 x 9 and will be taking both (NF 12x7 also) to Clermont in a month so hopefully find a few bits and compare the two. Cheers.

Last time I was there it said the same thing. The access to the gpa is ten metres past the cattle grid I just drove straight through no dramas at all openened the gate and went in. Plenty of times lately Carbean rd has been blocked at the highway and a detour is in place. Just keep heading down...
