    Gold prospecting in Queensland

    There's gold there at Western Creek, just getting harder to find (like everywhere else). Last winter I ended up with close to 4oz. There were a few good finds (not by me) 8oz specie 12oz specie and a 3ozer that I know about. Many go with their Equinox's and Garrett's even some with sdc2300's...

    Have you ever lost your gold?

    I apparently lost some gold I didn't remember having, as I was cleaning out a bedside draw in my caravan and found a zip bag with over an oz of gold in it - must have been a draw baker! Happy day it was 🥂

    Have you ever lost your gold?

    Lost my finds container with a nugget in it at Western Creek Station, Georgetown back in July, grass was long, never did find it - at least it was only a small nugget - phew!

    Have you ever lost your gold?

    Almost turned into brown nuggets, a sort of reverse alchemy 😅 "put your gold in here and the shit comes out here" 🤣

    So you spent $8,000 for the machine & are going to couple it to $5 of "quality" non aptx Bluetooth earbuds to hear the targets, what could possibly go wrong? I think you have your priorities a bit mixed up. Please let me know where (if) you find any gold, so I can go there when you think you...

    Why, is the noise scaring the nuggets away? Or do you want stealth to sneak up on King Browns? They look so cool up close & personal 😎😅😂🤣

    Is the crypto boom & bust just part of 'every bubble being pricked' in wider market sell-off?

    I first became aware of Rhodium and its many uses including its reflective properties both visual (mirrors of the highest quality) and sound waves due to its ultra smooth surface, when I purchased a set of Flares Pro 2 HD earbud headphones. They're machined using brass then plated with a good...

    Harness problems.

    Use cylindrical food containers to make huge ice blocks, they fit in the bladder filler. 2 will be enough to keep the water frosty all day (as long as you fill with ice cold water as well) Ice production becomes a morning ritual as it takes about 24 hours to freeze that volume, I put a couple of...

    Detecting Western Australia

    Do some research on temperatures @ that time of year, as a seasoned prospector I wouldn't even consider subjecting myself to 45 deg+ as far as I'm concerned the gold can stay there until the climate is more bearable. YOU CAN DIE HERE if you go to the wrong places @ the wrong time of the year &...

    Harness problems.

    Dislike the harness immensely, I only use camelbak backpack & a hipstick from "gold seekr" (ball doesn't keep popping out like others). With the camelbak make sure it has the D rings on the shoulder straps (most don't) get a 3lt one if you intend to be out and away from the car all day so you...
