  • G'day Swingers, long time no ep.
    Dont worry, I'm back and this year has kicked off with a bang. I'm ready to take in the world once again.
    That one ounce of gold goal will be achieved this year.
    Short and Sweet episode this time but there is some amazing news.
    I hope you enjoy.
    Good Luck & Happy Swingin' for 2024.

    I'm glad your surgery went well, Willie! Not a bad bit of gold for a very bad day in the bush! You get well soon!🙏❤️

      Thank you Cynthia, I am extremely happy with the results for such a painful day. Can't wait to get back to it, but the body must heal first.
      Cheers for watching.
      Good Luck & Happy Swingin'

    Glad to U see about there bud. Well done. I'd be stressed for that type of surgery. Gold fields beware. 😂💛✌🏻🇿🇦

      Cheers Sandman, I will admit I was a bit anxious, nervous and a tad scared.. but getting that done outweighed the thought of living like that for the rest of my life.
      Have to do these things sometimes.
      But I took it like a champ and am now healing before I make those goldfields cough up the goods.
      Good Luck & Happy Swingin' brother.

    Glad to see the surgery went well, and you are up and about. Hope you have a quick recovery and you get out in the bush soon. Keep up with your physio and see you when you can get out. Cheers mate 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍🤜🤛

      Cheers Josip, feeling much better thanks mate. Slow and steady for the next 6 weeks as I now have 3 screws in my neck. So have to let them heal. Then I can start getting back to normal life.
      Keen as to get out and have a swing as soon as the docs give me the all clear.
      Till then,
      Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate.

      Thanks mate, as I showed at the end of the episode, the surgery went exceptionally well. I am pain free and have my coordination back.
      Won't be long till I'm back out chasing the shiny.
      Good Luck & Happy Prospectin'

      Cheers Smitty, yeah not bad little bits for a few pans. It's insane how much it's changed bro. Might have to go in there Saturday for a search?
      Then you can see the damage for yourself.
      Thanks mate. Feeling a million bucks.
      Yeah with a few of us that thing has no chance of hiding from all of us.
      Catch ya real soon mate.
      Good Luck & Happy Swingin' till then.

      @@Swing_n_Ping_Prospecting agh yeah that's right. Agh well there will be plenty of time. That shits evil man. If I can't find it, no one else is just going to stumble across it, so I'm not too stressed. Plus I fixed my old pinpointer the other night so I atleast have a back up for now.
      Have a mad day at cricket on Saturday mate.

    Great stuff the Will I hope u get back to full fitness and someone who watches finds what's lost and returns cheers Glenno.

    • @Swingin_wit_Willy
      @Swingin_wit_Willy  5 місяців тому +1

      Cheers Glenno, I am certianly working towards getting strong enough to get back to business. The itch is building.
      Doubt anyone will find it in there. Barely anyone goes to that creek. Plus that grass is a nightmare to walk through being you can't see what's at your feet.
      I'll find it soon with the boys, we will do a grid search with 5 strong lol.
      Good Luck & Happy Prospectin' mate.

    Just found your channel so I hope you're doing well after your surgery.
    Your creek looks exactly like my local area except my area is better for panning than it is for detecting.

    • @Swingin_wit_Willy
      @Swingin_wit_Willy  5 місяців тому +1

      Cheers ThatGuy, yeah healing really well mate. Only 12 days since I went in and I'm kickin goals. Just have to give it a few more weeks and I can start getting back into the swing of things.
      Very possibly could be in your area. I hit a few different goldfields...
      Generally that creek is way better to pan in than detect, but we had done well in the past. Had a few 1 gram days in there.
      Cheers for watching mate.
      Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate.

    Hope you find your pouch when you’re up and about mate, that would suck .

      @Swingin_wit_Willy  5 місяців тому +1

      Cheers Jimbo, oh we will find it mate. I know I only walked around in a small part of that creek, so it will be somewhere in that shitty hip height grass...
      Worst bit is the pinpointer is only about 3 months old 🤦‍♂️
      Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate.

    Ya you weren't kidding about loosing the pouch trying to test yourself against nature. Get whipped out dehydrated. Maybe one of the nasty hornets dragged off the pouch. I see you got lots of time laying around and watching everything else. You'll be up and moving in no time.
    I'd like to see that river blowing threw as well. Maybe another time

    • @Swingin_wit_Willy
      @Swingin_wit_Willy  5 місяців тому

      Cheers Wade, if was a hell of a struggle mate. That hip high grass is evil. Add on a 33°c day with no clouds or breeze and that's a recipe for disaster.
      Maybe your right mate. Those things are pretty damn tough, wouldn't suprise me.
      Already up and at em, just keeping occupied by walks and watching videos. Hanging to see the doc to get the dressing changed I tell ya.
      Next time we have a bit of rain I will head on down to see if I can witness it and get it recorded.
      Till next time,
      Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
