Dreamwalking
Peter
Hello to you all from Adelaide, the place I retreat to when I am not out dream walking and swinging a coil.
I was warned many years ago by my mother not to dream walk, she claimed that it would inevitably lead to my stumbling or tripping over, I thought I would test this theory while detecting, well all I can say is that I am not destined to be getting up off the ground with a glint in my eye mumbling words like "welcome stranger". so far the only things I have tripped over have been my own feet.
OK ... now before I am accused of fraudulantly dragging people into my self disclosure a with baited word like "Secret" I will confide with all who read my words and reveal to you my secret ...
"tonight I have joined Prospecting Australia".
I am not sure if it is a good thing or not.. my being so quiet here at the helm has had my wife come in twice and poke me in the ribs to see if I was still alive.
Anyway now that I am in a position where noone can interrupt, I will sprout a bit about myself.
My name is Peter, happily married to my first and only for what others call 2 life sentences, of late we have been spending time in the Golden Triangle specifically in the area of Dunolly staying at the Waanyarra Camp site. Often we can be seen like two hockey players, weilding sticks that occassional shreek out a sound that sends all, but the flies in every direction.
My detecting history dates back to 1979 when I bought my first detector.. it was a White's Coinmaster 5000 .. sold to me as the best GOLD detector money could buy ( $700 ) .. I paid so much for it that I could not let it go, so after its 3 days on the fields at Tibooburra finding a lot of junk it has slept in my shed till 8 months ago, reawaken when my sisters partner talked about his successes he had had some years earlier with a weird named machine "Minelab GPX 3500"
I pulled out and dusted off my Coinmaster... hummm .. 3 of the knobs has seized and would'nt turn... onto Gumtree... you beauty someone selling a faulty Coinmaster 5000 ( $100 ).. I jumped on it and within 10 minutes at home it was working again... only trouble is mine was still seized...out with the CRC.. Now I have 2 x Coinmaster 5000 collecting dust.
The reading started ... snapped up another machine... Minelab Advantage.... again had to do a bit of fixing .. all good now..... More reading.... what are thses PI machines I asked.
The bug to get out and use a detector was starting to take its hold.... bought a 4x4, caravan and now I go out with the wife who likes her Garrett Infinium LS (PI) machine and I with a Minelab GPX 5000. In the past 8 months have made 2 trips to Tiboorburra, 1 x Maryborough, 3 x Dunolly and soon again back to Vic and then the big one all through WA.
WHY AM I HERE ... well its like this, today while I was building a small amplifier to go inline with my headphones ( getting older and the hearing is not as good as it once was) I was peeking into a few forums for inspiration when it dawned on me that I have experiences and knowledge to share in exchange for the things I read that others have contributed ... so here I am.
G'day to you all.
