First attempt

[Perth Tim]

I have mastered finding bits of iron, specifically unused staples, which is puzzling.
Currently in kalgoorlie about to try my hand in a new spot tomorrow!
This time without kids buzzing around me

madtuna was saying the other day that those staples are from a staple gun used on lease boundary pegs.
Ive seen quite a few plastic sleeves full of paper work stapled to the wooden boundary pegs.
The one that boggles my mind are the used ones in the middle of absolutely no-where :|

Years and years ago......sample bags were stapled shut...hence staples 'in the middle of nowhere'

So the final tally was 3 buck shot, 1 nail and a bunch of pieces of wire.
Something i was surprised at was one spot that looked like it would have the goods, a quartz reef in a laterite zone over greenstone bedrock. The quartz was iron stained and running down hill into salt and pepper country. Nothing there, not even rubbish and i hit it with the sdc2300 and the gpz.

Yeah, it's aparant all the good area's are pegged. Narrowing down the walking bit is the trick

Getting trash says you are doing something right!

I havent seen gold yet. I walked up an isolated valley! Hmmm! And i hit fencing wire! Huh, up here! Its there, somewhere, it has to be!

Those that succeed keep adit!

Yes i definately treated this as a learning trip, and I'm encouraged by the fact i was able to locate 3 tiny lead balls. They didn't give off a loud signal (deepish) so i think i did well to find them. One of them i was really hopeful on as i was down 20cm before it come out

The forrester did well off road but it's lacking clearance to navigate gullies. I had to pop the bottom plastic bumper back in slightly after one creek crossing. Next trip I'm planning will be 7 days and I'll be hiring a Landcruiser for it i think.
I think I'll stick with the gpz next time as well.
