Caravan upgrade ! Nice.
My aim at the moment it to collect enough goodies to one day create a unique piece of jewellery for my daughter for when she is 18.
She's 5 now, so I have plenty of time to explore.
I do believe in life you create your own luck.
The creation of luck is the result of research, understanding and hard work.
Been living this life for over 63 years. It’s always been the scenario of reward for effort.
Fishing, hunting, prospecting, all the same the bigger the effort the bigger the reward.
No luck about it.
Good on you Luke.
Keep swinging where no one else has and you’re bound to be successful.
Cheers for your videos.
I couldn't agree more with your comment right now @andrewhewes2461 I believe the exact same thing that you create your own luck through determination and hard work. And that goes for anything in life. The more you put in, the more you get back in return👌
And I really have my parents to thank for instilling that hard work ethic from a young age.
I'm really glad you are enjoying watching, take care until the next swing and for plenty more gold to come🙂🤝 Cheers heaps mate👍
Hi Luke - an fantastic hunt and shows your knowledge, research, effort and hard work pays off - amazing 👍⚒️👍
Hello there @Speedydig thankyou so much!😊 I was so shocked to see the big nugget coming out but then again lots of hard work and research definitely helps find those great places to dig🙂
There is plenty more to come yet and lots more crazy early mornings😉🙂⛏️
Thanks for another fantastic video Luke, awesome Gold finds too. Love the bush tips.
Thanks so much for watching @derekthomassen5407 the bush can be so interesting, especially when you really slow down and observe every little aspect of how it works. I would like to think I would have thrived back on the 1850s digging gold, but then again, I would have also had some fierce competition in the miners. It's fun to dream about though😆
Cheers heaps again mate. Stay tuned for more exciting gold and plenty more tips as we explore together🤝👍⛏️
Too good mate 👏👏👏👏👏👏
What a successful morning hunting @idigthat73 followed the signs and it paid off nicely👌 Cheers heaps mate🤝
Good morning mate, well done and congratulations. I found a piece of slate like that in the Gympie goldfields, while I was digging out coins and an old keg tap, I was told that they used it like a piece of paper to write on with a piece of chalk, like a notepad.
Keep up the good work. 👍
Hello there @chenelle9470 thanks so much for watching our latest awesome adventure! That piece of slate was so interesting and little things I look out for all the time. I agree too, it could have definitely been used as a writing slate tablet. Funny enough we actually had a few of them at my primary school. Not ever used, but just on display. Very cool🙂
Take care and happy hunting until our next adventure😊⛏️
@@DigItDetecting Good morning mate, another thing I wanted to say was thank you for your older videos on your settings with the 800 and 900.
I’ve been metal detecting now for 12 months on them and have found a stack of stuff including 1st settlement one pennies and a UK Fourpence and two women’s rings from the late 1800’s and tea tokens from India amongst a lot of other things.
So thank you very much, they have been very very helpful. No Gold yet but I’m sure it’s going to arrive.
Cheers mate. 👍
Way to go Luke, Great playground you have their
We have been on a mighty run so far @Detrackozi a hard slog with the heat though🙂
Plenty more to follow soon. Cheers heaps again mate👍⛏️
Great finds, well done 👏
Cheers heaps @mickpapa72 Wouldn't it be great if every day out digging was this good👌👍⛏️
A little from column A ,, a little from column B..
I think your son said it best,,
Something like - knowledge and work to put you in the right spot,, and luck for the size 😉👍
I completely agree @GSG-LC5ZM Zavier said it perfectly. Skill and work to find the good areas, luck with what it's going to be and just how big🙂
Cheers heaps for watching 🤝👍⛏️
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 nice gaters and nice nugget
Cheers heaps @gordonstevenson1190 this was a bit more of a sketchy area so gaters on! And fish on with big gold👌👍
Fantastic nugget 👏 well done
What a ripper find @Deanne Lewis and it just reinforces for me all those early mornings before the sun kicks in pays off👌 We still have lots of work to do in this area and plenty more gold to share⛏️ Thanks heaps again😊💎
Luke is GOLD because you get what you put into it!
Excellent going, Luke, such interesting diggings! You have your just desserts for the hard-earned nugget, splurge on some whiskey instead of beer before throwing it up the bank or alongside the thrown paydirt, with the shoe eyelets, you'll splurge on a new pair, with steel heel and toe caps, for a future Luke to bring his detector and detecting peepers for specking (speculating) surface finds, with the crockery, coins, china and glass! Yep, not a brag, we guessed over eight, we imagined what the melt amount would look like, a full sovereign 7.9881 grams, plus some, rather than the half sovereign, 3.994 grams, a modern dollar size and weight, 9 grams, the ten cent piece is about half the thickness and tad over half the dollar, 5.66 grams, though the ten cent to me looks about the right sovereign size dimensions, except for feeling so much lighter than a sovereign, which feels so lovely in the hand, fair dinkum! Had to look up those numbers, but they're fair enough to remember, for the mental calculation, before it hits the scales!
We had a funny feeling you'd walk that causeway, it looked made to stay like that from the dig holes that side, so the paydirt didn't end up down the edge of the gully and into the creek.. which you must have a swing through, all three, and the bit down their convergence, because if there's sizeable nuggets making their way free down the hillsides, like your camera, only way heavier, there'd be more of it's family to look for, and depending on their depth, how big is speculative, a big Andrew one!, quite literally might be poking it's shiny bald head from the dirt ahead of you! I'm referring to my own head, I don't want Andrew swearing and hating on us! We like him too much, you can even tell him, if he's behaving okay. You can just imagine one like your biggie, 30oz bouncing off rocks and tree trunks, if it dislodged from it's white or yellow clays in a heavy storm. It would look all shiny and miraculous! We've been meaning to go after a storm to locate again temporary waterfalls from where there had been diggings, way up a hill of 70 degrees... what's with us size 13s?! Are we mountain goat men?! ⛰️🐐🧑🦯👍 Cheers, 🥃✨🥃, from Gabi of Prospect Hill (truly!), Narre Warren.
Thanks heaps @gabivalla6279 it's moments like these that really make all those early mornings and hard digging pay off in my mind. We have so much ground to hunt and check over near the big 10grammer nugget still to, plus going to return one day with the Minelab Manticore and try to clean up that trashy area a little. Just never know what else could be hiding there with it😉
I have thankfully got myself a new pair of shoes and ones with better grip on them now, so look out banks, gullies and steep hills!
Thanks so much again Gabi, take care until our next adventure with plenty more gold to come😉⛏️🤝
Congratulations Luke - I reckon the old manticore might find some nice coins and relics and maybe a stray stonker
What a run this was @thegoldrushguy so good! I will be taking the Manticore back very soon plus a few other areas to give them a clean up. As you say, you just never know what's hiding amongst the rubbish there, which everyone always avoids🙂 Cheers heaps mate👍⛏️
Hell Yeah mate! 😁👍
Thanks heaps @GSG-LC5ZM what a ripper nuggy👌👌
Nice hunt ❤
I'm really glad you enjoyed watching @autwins5610 thanks heaps😊
Love you videos Luke. I notice you are using the Minelab coil in this video and in your video of 8 days ago you had a Goldhawk coil on. Just wondering about your thoughts on both. I am using. A 12x7 Exceed, but have mates saying I should change to a Goldhawk as they penetrate deeper. Keep the videos coming, they’re great.
I'm so glad you are enjoying watching @robertcusack1447 we have been on a fantastic run lately at this new area on the gold.
The goldhawk coil is an amazing coil, however in one of my past videos a few weeks ago at the gold cave, I was having a lot of noisy issues. I am still not too sure what's going on with it, but it seems like a loose connection inside.
The 11 standard coil is just as amazing though I feel as it hits on all the small gold and even the bigger pieces at depth. Being a larger coil than the GHawk.
I actually only said to Andrew the other day that the 11 inch would probably have to be my most favoured coil to run and use on the 6000.
The only issue is that it's sometimes too big to tuck in those smaller spaces.
Thanks so much again Robert, take care and happy hunting until that next adventure👍⛏️
Nice one
Thanks heaps @graememorton2358 what a great day digging and plenty more to come soon👍
There has to be a so much unfound gold in the ocean.
I always think the same @iliketocomment8144 and if I wasn't so afraid of what's in the ocean, I would go try and find it😆
@ lol
4.2 gram nugget I'm guessing
easy to see that u hardly find any nuggets.. i guessed it at 12gr... never ever was this one 4-5gr!!
Wow, sensational guessing @TheFrickshow 👏👏
@@DigItDetecting guessing or just experience? why u not mention how many hours u been wasting there by finding junk or nothing.. its all a minus business isnt it?
