  • G'Day Golden Tubers, here's another instalment in my 2023 Adventure. I have many projects which I'm chasing up, they are the result of my summer's research, I have 5 reams of printed A4 paper, plus a big roll of maps to investigate ... So stick with me over the course of this metal detecting season, I'm on a mission to find, and help YOU find ... Some nice gold! Especially as the gold price was $3080 AUD during the filming of this video ... Wish I had some! Oh, I made reference to what might slither out of those big holes in that dead tree that I'm camping next to, here's a UA-cam clip I've made, this is frightful:
    ua-cam.com/users/embedGaABajE...
    But honestly, in my 40 years of walking around the Western Australia bush, I've only seen on King Brown, and it was only 1 metre long. OK, still deadly but did you see how high that Monster in the video reared up? That thing could easily snag you in the groin! OK! I'm off to create another 8-10 minutes of joy for you, please Sub, Like and Comment if you like and appreciate what I'm doing, UA-cam uses these metrics to recommend (or not) my videos to you and others, which ultimately helps my channel grow, and be seen be more people. Cheerio, P101 ...

    Ty for you efforts to educate. I have amazing gold on my creek claim but my passion is to locate a pocket. I take to heart all the advise. I’m now trying to put what effort I have remaining into one gultch. Although I have LiDAR and can explore all the ancient ruins lol old miner diggings. Still hard to tell where the nuggets lie. My research talks about 60 ounce nuggets and the minors of the day concieded they came from the lead of this gulch. Only weird thing is no recorded mines above. Gold mines everywhere recorded but not in the gulch. But once I started exploring little dig holes everywhere, and it shows the main owner at the bottom patent claim placer leased a huge swap land up this little gulch. We have forest and steep ground man those minors were men.

      G'Day Outback ... Thanks for your insight ... I agree 100%, in fact this last trip I had a chap actually follow me around on his quad, like park next to my truck and start detecting. I left the area quickly as I can only imagine what it would be like to actually find some gold when a chap like that is about. The high gold price has made the Hungry Dogs out of control, can't help themselves I suppose ... Even a large dose of Nuggetcillin doesn't faze them, it's more more more going off in their numbskulls ;-) Cheers M8 ...

If you don't want those smaller nuggets you can send them to me bwahahahahahahahaaa I'm sure you will get a chuckle with that lol. Every bit counts at the moment with the price of gold where it's at I 'am sure you will find a patch of bigger nuggets.

      G'Day Hot Rod, thanks for your Comment M8. Yea well the nuggets tell the story, I've found heaps of ancient creeks like this, in fact I have another video I took this past trip of getting gold on a long-gone riverbed ... It's good when you know the direction of the strike/flow of these old systems, just keep detecting in that direction ... Didn't mean to sound like lil' bits don't matter, of course it all adds up, especially with the gold price sitting above $3000AUD an ounce ... But you do get a feel for a patch/concentration after walking around for a day or two, if it's worth working or not ... It'll be 45 degrees C soon enough, and I'll be stuck in the city, wishing I was Out There ... OK! Cheerio, P101 ...

      I can't speak for the bloke, but imo what he might’ve meant by that is the gpx6000 is an excellent machine for finding the small pieces of gold (sub gramers), whereas the gpz7000 might miss the smaller pieces, but will find (and is more suited) to targeting larger pieces of gold at a lower depth than the gpx6000.
