Good advice mate. Its easy to get locked into a routine when detecting. But, having an objective can pay dividends when looking for yellow stuff. Cannot remember how many times I started the day digging super deep junk swinging 18-24 inch coils. It shatters even the most hardened electric prospectors soul. The positive is rarely small gold comes from huge holes, and surprisingly most people leave the huge shallow screamers alone out the bush.
Gday Adz. Glad you enjoyed the video. Sometimes you do have to have a change up. Got to keep it fun. A lot of folk do seem to leave those screamers. Find I’m checking them out more often these days. Thanks for watching mate 😁👍
A great day Andrew having fun on the goldfields.A few nice bits came up for you in amongst all the rubbish. You've left your mark on the UK,as I watched Somerset Searchers recently,and Bill was wearing on of your "Wild Silver" caps. Sadly,it seems he lost Julie to a heart attack not long ago.All the best and catch you on the next one.Cheers.
Gday Gary. Had a bit of fun out there and was happy with what I got. Yes Bill seems to like the hat. We are very sad about Julie’s passing. They were great together. Thanks for watching. Take care mate 😁👍
Good advice, if you have the equipment might as well use it. It looked like a fun day and at least you got your two cents worth. Thank you for the video and advice.
Good advice, that, Andrew. It's how we found ourselves back to where we started, finding so many more interesting things to do to entertain ourselves, exploring, rock-hounding, gold fossicking, as a kid, while the rest of the family were fixated on just fishing. If the Manticore were taken to the reefy gold site, with very little trash, but in field or park mode, and not set to the gold modes, would gold of detectable sizes give numerical display and tones based on their size, rather than their metal composition? I feel that was the go with your 800 and your thin, transparent improvised scoop, working the surface millimetres under shaded patches of moss. 00, 02, 04, even --, these were our small gold numbers, or no number at all, though not with that squeaky toy sound. It could be worse I guess, and sound like Tweaky from Quantum Leap. Thanks, Mr CBK, and happy Saturnalia.
Gday Gabi. Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes you could find gold if it was big enough in those modes but the gold setting is more sensitive. It would give a number value like you suggested and go up in number as the gold got bigger but if it was not very trashy, I would be in the gold mode and you won’t miss the relics. Hope that helped 😁👍
Thanks for sharing another great adventure Professor CBK. Some great finds and advice for us newbies out there to take notes on, enjoyable as always. Keep up the great work and see you on the next one. Cheers mate 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍🤜🤛
Great stuff Andrew. I really need to get myself out bush for a detect so much cool stuff to be found. Your spot on with changing your mindset. Sometimes I take my 800 as well as the 5000 when looking for gold coz I just know the gold is going to do my head in 😂 thanks for the vid.
Gday Darren. Good idea to take the 800. I only have a two hour tolerance level for gold hunting unless I get onto some. Could swing all day chasing relics. Good luck hunting 😁👍
In about a week I'm getting a mint condition second hand equinox 800, the only one I can afford as a beginner. My main targets will be gold in the Bendigo and Maryborough areas and in between
Just like a fisherman, changing your lure or bait can often change your fortunes. Nice switcheroo and plenty of fun ensued! Even got a cameo of young Hugh! Brilliant video Andrew mate, enjoyable as ever
Gday Marcus. Very true. Got to change sometimes to keep it fun. It is a great line from Hugh. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope all is going well. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍💙
Keen and chipper, I think I remember them, weren't they a couple of chipmunks! I tend to lean towards lazy and laconic!Bex is definitely better when the bottle is full of gold, garrantied to cure all sorts of complaints! It may have been a muck metal broachy sort of thing, but id still like to find it! That goes for the diamondy buckle as well! Thats where a small seive would be handy in the kit just to find those little bits that might have fallen off, especially if they were real diamonds. Seems the hay fever has effected the settings on your silver sniffer, time for a tune up! I don't mind possums as long as there not in the roof, or in the hole im digging. Ripper lock plate!... I don't mind finding gold, but coins and relics is where i find my fun. Oh! And of coarse being out on the hunt with your good self also does the job! Course? Coarse? I never know which one is correct. But im sure you get my drift. Cheers Andrew, Cheers Viv!
Gday Wayne. I always hope to find a Bex bottle of gold but in the meantime I am filling one of my own. Gold certainly cures a flatness of enthusiasm once you find a bit I can tell you. Yes a sieve could be handy in those situations if they were there in the first place. Would be handy for toy car wheels too. The sniffer should be fixed soon I hope. Take care mate 😁👍
@@TheCoffeeBushKid Actually it was toy car wheels that got me thinking about a sieve, then later, a crushed silver ring missing it's stone, it's a few years later and I still haven't got one in my kit. So travel's my forgetful mind. Cheers Andrew!
Some amazing finds again mate The Dimond thing might have been a money holder ??? Silver is it is it nope 1 cent DOH!!! lol lol 😂 A great day out anytime mate Cheers 🍻 CrouchOz
To be honest Jeff I don’t think I did but there was a lot of gal there too and it could have been a piece of that that I spotted. Very aware of gold at low numbers. Most of mine is on the relic machines 😁👍
Yes mate. I only prospect for gold. It’s not all I find though. This hobby is just the best when you are having fun, if it’s a chore or uncomfortable or feels like a job, then it’s not a hobby or fun. A nine to five will most likely make you more money but it’s not usually “fun”
I love it when 2 items are in a straight line, it’s a buckle hoard.
Do love slipping that line in every now and then Jeff 😁👍
Thanks Andrew - enjoyed watching this and great tips 👍⚒️👍
Glad you did Lisa 😁👍
Ye old 42 roo harfa. Some interesting bids and bods
Gday Guy. The roo saved the day coin wise🤣🤣. Happy with what I got. Thanks for watching mate 😁👍
Another great one. Thanks for sharing. Happy Hunting

Well done Andrew, you started with anthusium and then you changed it up,
Been there 😂, gotta love those brown buggers, find them anywhere 😂😂,
Gday Jim. It is an important thing to remember to do. A coin is a coin mate 🤣🤣😁👍
@ Ive got the 800 charging right now. Going out first thing tomorrow, hopefully I can pluck out my urban silver, been a while 😎👍

Good luck Jim. Hope you find a heap😁👍
Glad you enjoyed it Joe. If you can get something out of it all that is great. Hope it helps. Take care mate 😁👍

A second hand GP Extreme would be a better option if your after gold only mate.
@@andoncroft nice score. Hope it has a six inch coil with it. Try the reefy areas and on the edges of surfaced areas. Good luck 😁👍
@@adzoutnabout888 I will check it out
Having a great time there CBK, makes me want to go out for a detect!
You should Roberto, you should 🤣😁👍
Hi Andrew , good and chirpie, love it , and good to see you back in OZ ,
Thanks for watching Roberto. Glad you enjoyed it 😁👍
Thanks, Andrew. no gold but some great finds that lock was very cool. and a 1cent coin the year I was born.😊
Gday Chris. You never know what will turn up. Just as long as we can find something 😁👍
Just like a fisherman, changing your lure or bait can often change your fortunes. Nice switcheroo and plenty of fun ensued! Even got a cameo of young Hugh! Brilliant video Andrew mate, enjoyable as ever

Gday Crouch. Could be. Gotta watch those ones and twos. Lead you up the garden path. Thanks for watching mate 😁👍
Hey Andrew, that first buckle gave a 54 signal, but there was also a 05, did you look at that one, I’ve found gold at those low numbers?
To be honest Jeff I don’t think I did but there was a lot of gal there too and it could have been a piece of that that I spotted. Very aware of gold at low numbers. Most of mine is on the relic machines 😁👍
Gday mate hope you are having a awesome weekend
Thanks Kayne I did😁👍
Hi CBK ,love your videos but could I ask that you maybe show your settings before you start ?,thanks Bartz
Mindset is always important to nice change. I saw the video finding a huge nugget and he mentioned an Andrew. I was wondering if it was you.
Gday Nathaniel. No the Andrew mentioned is his father in law who he goes detecting with all the time. Hope you are going well mate 🦘🦘😁👍
