- Hi Golden Fellows, here is some more fun-and-games in my first trip of 2023 to discover a new patch of gold nuggets. As usual, I try to pass along all things learned from 40 years of gold prospecting in Western Australia. Little things that I may take for granted, might be a valuable tip should you be starting out YOUR quest for this elusive precious metal. Please Subscribe if you enjoy my work, Like and Comment, I will respond, sorry so slow but I like to give each Comment a thoughtful reply. OK! All the best Out There, P101 ...
Cunning as shithouse Rat’s GG. Gawd out in the middle of nowhere and they’re lurking around you. A hundred years ago they might not make it back to town, but you’re bigger than that mate. I as usual look forward to another instalment thanks for sharing again GG. 👍🏻
Thanks KD, appreciate your input Mate. Yea I know, just have a go, suppose the Bushwhackers of old live on! I've heard stories of a couple of guys, one goes and befriends the prospector, and says "I know of a patch, come with me" ... And the second guy moves in and fleeces the po' prospector's camp whilst he's away ... This was happening in Leonora a few years ago ... Like with my Rat, they are ever-so-friendly! Cheers, P101 AKA GG ;-)
What settings on your 7000 please.would like to compare them.i run mine as hot as I can for the ground.i find sub grammars but especially with a very slow swing.cheers.i am 77this year maybe age helps but so does knowledge.
Hi Croc, thank you for your input M8, appreciate it ... And am pleased to see you still Out There enjoying the bush. Hope I can be at your age ... OK well, I run my Z7 basically at Factory, don't like the screaming noise when the Sensitivity etc gets cranked up, I know others that swear by their boosted settings (oh, do you run with a booster? I don't) ... Anyway my Sens is about 9, Auto-Tuning is off ... Thereshold about 31 ... I can hear those little squeaks. A few years ago I tried to run boosted but found I didn't hear the deep infants. OK! Cheers M8, P101 ...
2/3 grams at 6 to 8 inches deep? Great detector! Wondering if you could’ve found an interesting amount of smaller placer gold if you had a dry washer or something similar.
Hi B8485, thank you for your Comment. Yes the Z7 is a super detector, some of the tiny gold that I have found, and had to dig for, just amazes me. I haven't had much success with 'dry blowing' , most of the fine gold seems to have been washed away ... I always test the ground with my dish, and hardly ever see more than a speck, unless close to the source. Cheers M8, P101 ...
same rats in Tibooburra Nsw
hello guys...nice location..i enjoy..greeting from prospector🙏👍💝🌷🇲🇨
Thank you 👍 Nugs, I appreciate your kudos ... Cheerio,P101 ...
Eagles...funny!
Red Capped Robbin
Hi Laurie ... Thank you for your input ... Yes that's what I saw this bird described as when I searched for a photo ... Red Chat must be bush slang huh? Cheers M8, P101
Looking thru the drone would've helped looking for a way thru the creeky
Good thinking Tim, I'll do that next time. I'm still learning to fly that lil' sucker, not real good with joy sticks yet. Cheers, P101 ...
Hahahaha Nick Nat paddywhack give a cool prospector a really prickly large nugget and find it sitting on its home ….🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️ thanks brother 👍🏼
Hi Simon, love your beat M8 ! Yea, Po' NicNat ... Can't seem to take a trick, maybe jumps too high? Cheers, P101 ...
great video mate its a damed shame someone was on your tail not only is it rude its intimidating too I hate it as I've been there too! Back to the video your 7K sounded so sweet could you tell me what your settings were on that day? TIA Cheers
Hi Blah, thank you for you input M8 ... Yea dem rats! Some people are now psycho with the gold price half-way to the moon. Oh, my settings are pretty much 'Factory', I don't like a screaming machine to listen too, I found a few years ago that I was missing the tiny bits amongst all the noise ... They will pop-off even when your setting are 'low' (like Sensitivity on 9) ... I suppose you have 'Auto Cancel' set to off? Cheers, P101 ...
@@prospecting101 Thanks for your response mate yes there are definitely rats out there. regarding the settings at present i:m running on difficult as normal to me sounds like a early Metallica track played backwards 😳😳high yield sensitivity between 12=18 audio smoothing low ground balance auto ground smoothing off Ive never touched threshold settings are factory reset and both volumes are on 12. Once again I though your machine was running clear and sweet congrats. Any advice would be appreciated keep up the videos cheers
"ONYA G.G"ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CONTENT IN ALL YOUR UPLOADS.YOU SHOULD OF LED THAT BLOODY RAT ASTRAY.ANYWAYS CHAMP STAY SAFE & HAPPY HUNTING.SHANE FROM BATHURST WAY
G'Day Shane, many thanks for your Comment M8 ... Yea a Rat Trap may be needed when I go back, hopefully that area won't look like a rabbit warren ...
Good to see you out and about...shame about the weasel...release the hounds!
G'Day Sharyn ... Thanks for your input ... Yes, the hounds with long, spiky teeth that sleep in the wheel ruts of tracks hehehee Cheers, P101 ...
Another great video mate , you certainly know what to look for 👀 in your ground there in WA , great to watch . Cheers Ned . 👍 💰✔
Thanks 👍 Dr. jardine, apprecaite your praise ... Oh I just realised that when I used 'stabiliser' in video edit, I lose the HD digital quality! Ouch, that's no good, especially if you're watching on a TV ...
It's unfortunate that with all that country the rats still come around.
Hi M-HD ... Yea, I know, like if they'd only have a go for themselves instead of following others, they might find some nice metal. Cheers M8 ;-)
It's great to see you getting in amongst the bush and gaining some scratches, but that's what needs to be done. As the saying goes, they never get it all. Pity you had a monkey on your back, with all that country out there. It's a shame the wedgey would have kicked the young out the nest, 🤣🤣 go the mighty Port Power. Cheers Dan
G'Day Daniel, many thanks for your Comment Mate, appreciate it. Yeah those scratches sound wicked huh? But they really do come out, which is surprising. Must be some good paint on the ole Troopy ;-) And yes those kinda people are their own worse enemy, this country is so big, and there's so much gold still Out-There ... It's all where your mind-set is! Cheerio, P101 ...
Thanks.
Some peoples children shake my head. dang four flat tires on your quad you musta run over a patch of nails you dirty rat….. deep ground makes a nice resting place for rats😬 nice humor and birds nests thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼
G'Day 48th, what's up in Paradise? Many thanks for your Comment ... And Suggestions ... Nothing worse than a Dirty Rat disturbing the peace huh? And our peace is almost as valuable as the shiny matter we hunt ... Cheers, P101 ...
Rats! I hate rats! Here they use cactus needles to line their nests!
Hi Marc ... Wow, that's a hardy rat to nest with cactus ... A bit of tough love for the Younguns huh? hehehee Cheers M8 ...
There should be a trap you can set for that rat...
Hi Steve, ta for your Comment M8 ... Yea well if I get on gold, I go Commando, so most Rats can't find me ... Because if you dust-off your tracks and lay a bit of dead timber around, and as they only prospect by following tracks ... If they can't see you, they're lost ... I've have Rats come in my camp by smelling the fire ... So now I have gas and a cooker when I'm Secret Squirrel .... Cheers, P101 ...
At least you found a couple pieces for your time
Hi Mr Gold, thanks for your input ... Yes I got a few more nugs, I'll do a Tally-Up when I'm done with this series ... Thanks for watching! Cheers, P101 ...
Hey Mr Gold, HAHAHA🤣 I love it👍 Nic Nat has been missing for Months. Cheers Kev
G'Day Biggest Kev, thank you for your Comment, hey love your work over on your channel. Yea well I heard NicNat might be home and hosed, just too many injuries, I reckon he jumps too high! Cheers Mate, P101 ...
I'm very sick with cancer and several other serious illnesses. I am looking for a unique gold nugget i can make a pendent out of. Something in the 8 to 12 gram range. Do you sell any of you gold like that? This is gold to be something to pass down after i surcome to my illnesses. I live in Louisiana, and we don't have any gold around here i can look for.
Hey when you back from walkabout?
Hi, another great vid. We may have accidently stumbled on the pink parrot a few weeks ago while exploring areas of our 40e away from our camp. Hole in the ground with a fence around it and full of water. 4 pink galahs sitting on the fence. Rehab nearby was looking good. Also I am not sure if those birds are Red Chats as we have always called them red capped robins. Beautiful birds. They seem to like sitting on our woodpile. We also had an unfriendly Willy Wagtail that objected to us. Kept up a real song and dance and swooped us a few times. Must have had a nest nearby. We do enjoy your videos as they are much more than just detecting and digging. We don't mind catching up with fellow prospectors to have a chat but would never work an area they are on without being invited.
GORGEOUS RED CHATS" GREAT VIDEO!CHEERS M8!
Great stuff
Love the camp life addition 😊
Nice work
Well done mate. Great vid 👍
Another good one, mate. Two more days, and Im on my 10 day patch hunting trip. Cant wait 👍
All the best Out There M8 ... Hope you Bag The Mammoth ;-) Cheers, P101 ...
👍
Great job all around fam. That's how to get it done. Keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream fam. Gold Squad Out!!!
Appreciate it AUFam, you on some metal? It's prime time in the US ... Cheers, P101 ...
they have traps for rats.
Thanks, I'll look into that ;-) 👍
It's fun to watch your hunt from the beginning stages. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Glad you enjoyedit Stryk, hope I can show you some success soon! But, it's that hunt that I enjoy, of course everybody likes digging the shiners ... Cheers M8, P101 ...
Dirty rats...shiny gold...such a contrast...good onya mate, keep doing what you're doing...I'm loving it 👍🍻
Thanks 👍 Ryan, appreciate your Comments Mate ... And encouragement ... Cheeio, P101 ...
Well done 👍..
Unbelievable on what hatched 🐣 out of the Eagle 🦅 nest 🪹 LOL 😆
CHEERS 🍻 Tony ⛏️👍🍻
Thanks FamoTony ... Yes strange things happen in the bush huh? Since there was nothing in that nest, I thought I better come up with Something, and as NicNat is the most recognised face in WA ... Perfect! Cheers M8, P101 ...
Thanks again for sharing P101.
It is good to see that you have the Bug again for the Gold. As usual you get all the tips and expertise along with bird watching and humour. Take care out there & hope you hit the big one again. 👍👍🍺🍺🍻🍻👍👍
Thank Ye Robert for your well-wishes, I hope to entertain you further with more antics ... Cheers, P101 ...
You are one of the most involved and very very intelligent when it comes to all aspects of Prospecting Thank you for the great videos it amazes me and i learn so much
Thanks 👍 Ms Mandy for your most-excellent, positive Comment, I appreciate it mucho ;-)
Thanks. Loved being along for the ride. Look forward to the next installment. Do you think there are still many pink parrots left to find out there? Take care John
Hi John ... Thank you for your Comment M8 ... Now is that the actual bird, or the gold mine? Suppose it doesn't matter which one as there are plenty of both still Out There. Lot's of budgies, and finches, only a handful of crows ... Cheers, P101 ...
G day mate ,watch out for those 2 legged rats with gold teeth there to lazy or thick in the head ,to find there own gold, gravel for brains , keep a close😢on them ,,,best of luck chalk😢
G'Day Chalky, thanks for your wisdom Mate, yea Gravel Heads hehehee I like that one ... If they only would have a go, they'd find something! I might have to put some gold teeth in my Rat photo ... To keep it real. Cheers Buddy ;-)
I would circle back around & start tracking him close enough for him to see me, shadow him & freak him out...lol
Just got word the forest is open for me to go PROSPECTING.... YAY HERE I GO ...!!!
Good news Ron, hope all those lil' nuggies are fused together into one big lump now, and is at the bottom of your dish! Cheers, P101 ...
It's not all about finding gold but enjoying the bush and nature at the same time..this time rats took the opportunity so be it..plenty more ground to search❤
Well said Timo, I love your philosophy ... It's the same as mine. Let the rats eat cheese, I'll come back for the caviar heheee Cheers M8, P101 ...
whose a rat?...there were fresh scratchings when you got there so obviously he was there before you.
G'Day Ian, thanks for your Comment, I appreciate it M8. Hey good detective work! It looks like recent work at that patch, it was me however, I walked around and scrapped a few noises, nd dug a bit before I filmed. I called this chap a rat because the next day he showed up at my camp, by following my tracks, hey no sweat. But he then proceeded to follow all of my tracks, and the final straw was when he followed the track I had made like an hour before, parked his quad bike a hundred metres from my truck and started detecting. I could hear him scraping the rocks with his coil, I can not imagine doing something like this, been in the bush many decades and have met people like this, thankfully most are respectful and give others space, and their peace and quiet. I remember the Mt. Four Acre strike back in the 1990s, the whole town was out there, there was gold everywhere, and a free-for-all, when it was over there was a mountain of trash everywhere, and looked like a war zone. ... OK well that's different. Ok! Cheerio ...
@@prospecting101 so still a lying title, to get clicks, ("rat stole my gold") and still a deceptive narrative, we can judge your character from that...including a misplaced sense of your entitlement to what really belongs to everyone...we get the picture thanks...
how's this for a different narrative...the ground should be either pegged or pending ground, you should not be there if it's pegged...maybe it's pending and the guy keeping an eye on you and the ground is the person who has paid up money to apply for it, maybe he wants to be sure you dont use mechanized equipment such as generators and jack hammers to get to the deeper gold which belongs only to him... maybe he is looking for the person who drags around a motorized dolly mill and leaves their tell tale signs of rock residue all over the country side... i have yet to see any of you "story tellers" say up front that you are on vacant land or pending land to explain to viewers that you cant just go where you like...if you dont say that then are you really teachers and informers, or are you just encouraging criminal activity...(to leave out the important information shows a lack of respect to people including the so called "rat").
No wonder the team is struggling,there hiding in there nest to much…lol,great stuff mate👍
Hi Dean ... Yea what's up with Our Boys this year? When they thrive, we do in WA, right? Plus with that big, beautiful new stadium .. Hmmm ... Takes the fun out of the weekend, sitting around a big fire, listening to the radio. Cheers M8, P101 ...
Shame you had someone else come in on your spot. Nice work though.
Thanks 👍 AuSwag, appreciate your Comment ... Things always happen for a reason huh? I went to a new spot and collected a few shiny specimens ;-) Cheerio, P101
No one gets all the gold the old patch could still have some nice treasures hidden in their🎉
Hi Mick ... TY for your Comment M8 ... That's what I'm thinking ... Lodge a 40E and go back and grid that patch properly. That is, when I'm all out of options ;-) Cheers, P101
Here’s my extra 👍 , they all help to spread this awesome channel
Much appreciated KF ... And thanks for the kudos Good Buddy ...
I often wonder how much gold may be just out of reach of some metal detectors depth of signal.
Thank you.
Andy
You and me both! TY Andy ;-)
@@prospecting101 Best of luck on your next trip.
Andy

You're welcome ... Thanks 👍
As always thanks mate, love those red chats we ha e them in our area.
Thanks Mike, yes they're special lil' finches huh? Especially when you dig or push ground, they come in droves and hang around for a snack. Cheers M8 ...
shame about the vermin problems!
Thanks FuzzZ ... Yes M8, I suppose there are vermin in every walk of life huh? Just open that suspect email, click on an attachment (they look real now, no mis-spelling, or broken links) ... And you're in Rat Hell ;-(
Thanks AU Fam, you out in the bush, on the gold M8? It's prime time in the US huh?? Cheers ...
@@prospecting101 the only people who contact me really are scammers, all the I am looking for love emails and invest in me blah, treat email with the same contempt!
Coordinates please Champ 😊
OMG realy. your the rat guy...lol
G'Day BillyBob Black ... Hope you're enjoying you new acquisition! Any Rats up your way? Bet those dogs of yours keep the scene vermin-free ;-) Cheers, P101 ...
