    You did well with the 6000 Justin. Awesome way to travel too! Hopefully catch you in Meeka sometime. We're just waiting for the temperature to cool down so we can go back prospecting:)

    You sir have the best prospecting rig ever. No flay tyres, bogged in mud, closed roads etc. Might cost a couple bucks to get there but Dam worth every cent. Sign me up if you need a side kick mate.

    I can see it on your movements when you throw the small handful into the scoop and hear the clunk and then wave over the detector and hear crickets how disappointed you are. Your body language shows it all 🤣. I hear that clunk too and am like oh boy that’s a good one and then crickets. Keep ‘‘em coming

    JB, all us prospecting are very jealous of your remote all terrain vehicle , you have the ultimate Transport Vehicle and not only that you get to do an Ariel survey of the area before you go down for the swing. Very much looking forward to future vids.
    Stay safe

    Hi from Greece. I love metal detecting. But here is not allowed. I have 2 metal detectors bought from USA. I have been to N.Y 2 times. I have family there. I served in SF in Greece for 18 months. I am metal detecting beaches here but.. late at night so no one see me. I just love gold detecting. I wish one day I can visit Australia and find gold. Subscribed. Only my best wishes

    Remember a 14” DD is technically the same as a 7” Mono. So out of the 2 stock coils, the 11” Mono will punch deeper. The DD is for salt ground or bad EMI.
    Also, when the 6000 carry’s on, she loves noise cancel button. Brings her back into line.

    I think this is the first time ive seen night prospecting,
    and after working at cue, mount Gibson ,Leonora and kal and super remote giddge gold mine for many years, it seems,...... its just obvious.
    I worked as a diesel fitter but always demanded permit night shift, and got it.
    not many knew how to repair cat scrapers, or wanted to,.... to be precise.
    still I should of tried a little prospecting back then.
    I would just buy pretty nuggets at the bar of the foundry hotel in kal.
    they tell me that's been gone for years now,...... well that is a real goldfields tragedy.

    • @peterhatton7558
      @peterhatton7558 Рік тому

      saw 57 degrees at the bottom of harbor lights open cut, at Leonora. only reason we knew was the air ends on the drills kept shutting down.
      worst thing about Leonora was its 200 kays to the foundry hotel.

    People may scoff at night detecting yet the detector does not know the difference between night and day. I always wanted to detect at night. Unfortunately where I live someone would call the police.
