[QUOTE="Simmo, post: 122207, member: 4105"] Showin' me age now!!! I went on a tour with a couple of amateur prospectors by the names of Ian Aitkin and Doug Stone, many moons ago... The 2000 had just come out, but I was running a Garrett I think... Anyway, I'd had enough for the day and went back to camp to have a beer... I could see the field, just over the creek from where I sat.... I had befriended a couple of blokes from Melbourne, and as they had a van, they travelled in my old Cruiser.... One of my mates was in the middle of this white quartz covered flat, below a huge quartz blow..... He found a bit, then another, and one more, so started to grid an area of probably 10 mtrs by 10... I'd watched him bend and dig the first three and thought....'bugger me, he's on to it!' Anyway....there was another husband and wife team on the tour, he was a Doctor, and had bought two 2000's..... They were cleaning up, but they were putting in the hours too, most of us would finish up mid arvo, but those two would come home after dark!! Well the good Ol'Doctor must've seen my mate bend over a few times too....... He starts wandering over, getting closer and closer to my mate that was gridding..... Sooner or later, it was bound to happen!! Both detectors were going off with proximity interference.... The Doctor kept on swinging as if nothing was wrong, but my mate was getting visibly upset!!!! Well, some yelling and chest puffing and I cant remember how or who resolved the face-off, but shit it was a good show!!! I had a box seat!!!! At the weigh in that night, the Dr. and his wife won the day, (again), but we drank more homemade grappa!!! The camp was divided into them and us, and that was just fine!!!!!! We got 10 1/2 ounces of that patch all up in just four days!!! [/QUOTE]
