You two blokes did well and managed to take home some nice pre decimals.That dry soil is a bit of a challenge this time of year. Well done.Cheers.
Heya Gaz, Was very warm indeed. You may not I was using a reinforced spade whilst I was digging! Cheers Slim
Nice work lads!!
High praise Digga!
Happy New Year Slim. My tiger digger shovel has a steel handle. No chance of it breaking.
Heya Nath, I’ve got one of those in reserve! Crickey the ground was hard! Cheers Slim
Nice one fellas… cheers
Heya Mark, Boy it was warm mate! Cheers Slim
have you ever gone to dixonville to detect tom
Heya Brother, No have not tried Dickieville! Should probably have a crack at with Sambo next time I’m home!
Does Mrs. Slim know you took her new garden tool out to dig solid soil? all up a very good day.
Heya Paul, Mrs Slim purchased that shovel for me from a little place in Canowindra NSW. I modified it of course to handle the tuff digging like in the vid! As soon as it cooled down a bit in the arvo we picked up the signals a little easier! Thanks for watching ol’ mate! Cheers Slim
Bit late, Slim, but happy Christmas and have a safe and prosperous New Year to you and your wife, as well as to Digga.
Heya Nath, Right back at ya mate! Thanks for watching and commenting! Will definitely see you next year hopefully with some better tech! Cheers Slim
Lovely spot to detect Slim and well done on the finds.Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you Slim,Mrs Slim and Digga. Cheers.
Thanks Gaz…. Same to you ol’mate. See you in the new year! Cheers Slim
Merry Christmas guys keep up the great work and finds
Heya Clarkey, Cheers mate! Planning a trip out in the next coupla days with my eldest Son. Will be the first ep of the new year! Cheers Slim
Nice Roo Penny, George V , sweet coins. Love the Swiss Franc👋😀
Hi - thanks for watching. The franc came out of nowhere!!
Hey Slim, maybe add a fingernail brush to your list of gear. I’m going to get one for when I’m out. AT Treasure Hunter put me onto it!
Heya Nath, Will look into for next year, the Christmas ep is already in the can mate! Thanks for sticking with us, Digga and I have had a lot of fun doing these vids! All the best for Christmas and the New Year! Cheers Slim
@@slimdiggins282 G'day Slim, mate it's great for one old bloke out there detecting to support another! My biggest issue these days is that the knees don't bend as willingly as they once used to. Dunno if you find that, but mine is from a lot of sport (especially squash) when I was a young bloke.
@ Heya Nath, I hear you loud and clear, my benders(knees) and grabbers(hands) are slowly being ravaged by author ritis …you probably know that bloke as well right? The trick is to keep going while you can and enjoy each day mate! Cheers Slim
Choice, thank you
Heya Alfred High praise indeed. Glad you liked the ep! Thanks for your support mate! Cheers Slim
A few nice finds there Slim. Well done mate. Cheers.
Heya Gaz Very clean beaches over in WA mate. Fun none the less! Cheers Slim
Not to shabby when you are having fun 🎉
Heya Greg, My sentiments exactly! Cheers mate. Slim
You must be running a Manticore.
Nope - 'Nox 900.
@@Mossop13 I think I mighta made that mistakw before. similar TID's to the Manticore, though.
@@detecting_Nathanael - "yep" on both counts.
Well done on the finds Digga. Swiss 5 Franc coin is unusual.Cheers.
Thanks Gary - BIG chunky coin it is too.
Typical beach finds Slim.Could be a gold ring there somewhere for you next time.Gold plated earring is nice.Cheers mate.
Heya Gaz, Did a lot of beach that day, in the rain as well! Always hopeful of finding something awesome and that’s why we do it right! Cheers Slim p.s - love your eps too old mate!
That first target you dug, Slimis, I think, a small electronic photo album. My wife has one with our grandkids in it and it looks just the same.
Heya Nath… did not have a clue on that one ! Cheers slim
Pull tabs give so many different TID's. Won't be likely to be five cents ringing up at 13. Five cents are invariably solid eighteen to nineteen TID.
Heya Nath - could’nt agree more 18 every day but in the beach sand the TID’s do get a bit squirrelly lol!
Yes, looks horsey! Best wishes from Lancashire, England.
Thank you mate - hope you are enjoying the channel!!
Nice one Digger.
Thanks Mark.
Horse cart reins guide. 👍🏻
Thanks Stuart. I figured it was probably along those lines, but couldn't locate it in a picture.
No gold but there's always next time.Cheers Slim.
Heya Gaz…too right mate! Hot onto the hold in a little place called Cue, unfortunately could not take any footage on the lease! Got 11 bit for just over 3 grams. Cheers Slim
With only one nut. Your definitely not nuts m8. Keep at it. That yellow is out there.
You never can tell, Slim, when you dig a target. I had a couple of hours on the beach this past week and got an earring, a toy car and two lead sinkers!
Heya Nath The staple was a bit of a pun! The true staple is a lot of work for little reward. Much the same as on the beach with your experience. But, they are the things that keep you going until you get a bucket lister! Cheers Slim
Gadzee sent me great channel 🦘⛏️👍
Heya Peter, Love Gadzee’s channel mate. He inspires me and makes me laugh! Thanks for tuning in mate! Cheers Slim
Just have to stick with it and some gold will eventually come your way- hopefully. Cheers Slim.👍
Heya Gaz…very hardworking indeed! Cheers Slim
Slim, at least you know that the 6000 is working properly. But my philosophy still holds true - there’s a lot of Australia mixed with the yellow metal.
Heya Nath Absolutely mate! Even the leaseholder would agree, that’s why he was ok to let us on! He knows how hard it is to find the gold. Thanks for watching mate! Cheers Sljm
I enjoy watching you and Digga, Kieran from Sunstate Metal Detecting and Andrew, the Coffee Bush Kid. I got out yesterday, just in a park, and got plenty of rubbish and $5.70 in coins. No pre decimals.
Mate that would be enuff for a coffee….WINNER!
Some nice old silvers amongst the pre decimals there Digga.Well done .Cheers mate.👍
Thanks Gary - hunts have been a bit scarce this year, especially with Slim going walkabout!!
Judging by your TID’s it sounds like you’re using the mighty Manticore.
Nope Nathaniel - 'Nox 900. They are very similar TIDs, judging from comparison with Slim's beloved Manti.
I did notice the coil is very similar to my M11 coil, though. Thanks for the reply. I’m just back waving the Manticore after a 3 months layoff for health reasons. It’s great to be back out there.
Great finds well done 👍
Thanks Clarkey . . . . . will be going back, that's for sure.
A good day out Digga.
Thanks Paul - always nice to get a few!!
Great finds and great video, love the old silvers 👍
Thanks Clarkey - don't mind an old silver myself!!!
Absolutely loved it mate! Dang I wish I could have been there with you! Cheers Slim
Yeah, well . . . . . . it's not quite as much fun on my own.
A good day out mate.
Thanks Paul - was a good day. Always cool when the research pays off.
Well done mate. You deserve it 👏 😊
Heya Dragan….yhanks mate! It’s been areal learning curve! Had a great day in a place called Cue W.A. I managed to get 3 grams unfortunately no episode for that hunt! Cheers Slim
Love the fact you use the 900, I’ve got one and most channels show the manticore or the 800, cheers.
Yeah Rob, it was a bargain I couldn't pass up. Slim was trying to talk me into the Manticore (still is), but so far I am not convinced. I'd loved the 800, so now I have 2 quality machines. I do think the 900 is better than the 800, but the signals aren't as clean, maybe due to the 100-point scale as opposed to 40. Thanks for watching!!
Impressive video, Slim Diggins. Looking forward to your next upload from you. I tapped that thumbs up icon on your content. Keep up the fantastic work! Your insights on the gear needed for metal detecting in remote areas were really useful. What strategies do you recommend for maximizing finds in locations that have been heavily searched before?
Heya Keyser, Thank you kindly for your support mate! This trip for me is one of discovery as well, and I like to pass things on. Hmm what strategies do I recommend for maximising finds in locations that have been heavily searched before? Not sure of your location Keyser! However on this trip in West Australia I would recommend the following: Common sense should always prevail, safety first! Obtain all the info you can on the location-factually and anecdotally as well - by this I mean research and talk to people they are often helpful. In Australia especially WA obtain the App Trilobite, then educate yourself on how to use it. This app has a lot of downloadable info that will give you a read on the location you are looking at, ie reef direction and faults in the reef lines, the type of rock in the location. Also you can plot your route to the location and mark the spot where you may want to dig. It also has satellite imagery of the tracks you may need to use to get to your spot. This App will track you there and can show you the way out again. Very important if you don’t know the location well! When using this App you have to refresh it each morning as the “Pending” tenements can change daily. Also when using the App out in the field switch you phone to aeroplane mode. If you leave the App on continuously it will chew through your available data! Know your metal detector- I chose the GPX 6000 because I have some shoulder issues and it is light. Also I can get small and lager coil for it so I can change my approach with them should the need arise, ie small coil for tight detecting, big 17 inch coil for covering open flat ground. The 6000 is deadly on small pieces of metal, so go slow over the ground you are on, a lot of people are impatient and rush you might pick up gold they have missed. Keyser these are just some surly morning musings I hope they maybe helpful! Let me know if I’m on the right track! Cheers Slim
That's a great detecting spot Digga and congrats on the coins.Cheers.
Thanks Gary - I'm sure I will be back!!! It's always nice to find a new spot with some treasures below . . . .
Heya Digga that’s why you’re the G.o.A.T OG metal detecting o, maaaate!
Yeah . . . . . nah! We do find the odd cool find though . . . . . . .
Great silvers, great vid. How are you finding the age of the parks that you hunt in?
Hi Clarkey - in this instance I read a sign!!! Other than that it is standard research via Wikipedia or old newspapers which gives me a "this place was around X years ago".
Keep doing these gold videos , also like your intro music , nice aussie music.nice one slim
Heya Daniel, Thanks for your support mate! There’s a couple more in the pipeline for sure. Presently in WA but on the coast! Digga wrote and played the intro music, we both love it! Cheers Slim
You can only try and better luck next time.At least you had a day enjoying the great outdoors.Cheers mate.
Heya Gaz, Very true mate! It so very peaceful out in the bush. Good for the sole no doubt! Cheers Slim
Hey Slim have a good go around the tree's especially the cut down ones old stumps and branches are good also
Heya Tom, There’s not too much around that country, very scraggy low bush not too many tall trees, but sure always good to do the work other detectorist don’t won’t to do! Cheers Slim
Hey Slim, is that a hammer holder on your belt for your pick. That’s what I use.
Heya Nath, Will hold both mate and I now have both 😂! Cheers Slim
@@slimdiggins282 I saw where you detected the hammer. I've never found one of those. I did detect a pair of ice tongs, a few cold chisels, driver bits for cordless drills, pliers and side cutters, though, over the years.
@@detecting_Nathanael side benefits right!
Great too meet you guys at the whale shark experience amd after had an absolute blast hopefully we cross paths again in the nead future
Heya Meng, Great day all round mate. It truly was a blast to meet all you wonderful folk as well. How was the biggie the next morning?
@slimdiggins282 it was great mate a little dusty but the bumps on the way made the hangover go away
At last some gold Slim.Well done.
Heya Gaz…. Thanks mate very tough going indeed, but heaps of fun! Cheers Slim
I admire your persistence . . . . .
It is an odyssey after all ol’ mate!
Hey Slim found ya problem its the wrong colour scoop buy a green one everyone finds more gold with a green scoop 😉 Hi Mrs Slim
Heya Tom? I lost my black scoop so I decided to get a yellow one easier to find 😂. Went for a dig in a place a little further NW of Kalgoorlie, I got 3 grams, 10 small nuggies but the lease holder wanted no footage taken of the site. Would have made a cracking ep! Mrs Slim says hello! Cheers mate!
@@slimdiggins282 Good job 👍
Solid little nugget 🎉
Hays Greg, Fooled me too! Had a bit of ironstone connected to it as well. I won’t be chucking it back though! Cheers Slim
