    Get yourself a headlamp that has a green light as well, no more bugs at all. The Mantacore headphones should work but you have to do a factory reset and re pair

    Any wildlife dangers out that way? Or in general when you're out and about?
    This is so epic a way to hunt gold!!!! A fist sized nugget to ya!!!
    You need a mini solar powered fan you can attach to your hat brim to blow on your face and keep bugs away :)

      Ive been using Trilobite. Great app with all the gold related features you'll need. Hema is also great, I use it daily when flying.

    More great stuff JB,just wondering do you film any of your round up work? I know you guys fly some pretty full on manoeuvres,I could definitely enjoy some of that in between the gold! Take it easy and keep that engine serviced 😉
    Interesting how similar in size the pieces are,could that be because it all formed in similar sizes,or everything that size ended up there and there bigger or smaller sizes travel according to those sizes 🤔

    • @JBHELI
      @JBHELI  Рік тому +2

      Interesting point regarding sizes.....I think the larger gold had been detected previously.....now we're just cleaning up what others have missed.
      I'll be working on some additional mustering footage for future episodes mate, so stay tuned for that. 👌

    • @markhepworth
      @markhepworth Рік тому

      @@JBHELI That makes sense,your different coil sizes I presume we’re picking up the same gold just at slightly different depths? Yeah the muster work will be great to see,20 years ago I spent 4 moths drilling boreholes on the cattle stations out Barcaldine/longreach area of Queensland,met a couple of pilots but didn’t see the mustering unfortunately..

    • @JBHELI

      @Mark Hepworth The coil changes really help to get a crisper signal from the smaller gold. The 11" mono will punch deeper than the 10x5 but I find the 10x5 really useful in tight areas,. The faster you can pinpoint that tiny bit of gold, the faster you can move on to the next one.
