  • I revisit a special location only to find that I'd been beaten to the punch. Plan B paid off though, and I was able to salvage the mission with an awesome haul of gold......but it wasn't without disappointment.

    Well..!!
    Do you leave the keys to a helicopter 🚁 in the ignition. Hide it or take a chance that you don’t lose them while you walk about.?
    Well hopefully that’s enough to cover your Fuel ⛽️ expenses.
    It’s Every prospector dreams of hi own helicopter 🚁 to prospect..
    Cheers Famo59 👍🍻⛏️

      Yeah Famo, keys are left in to avoid losing them. I'll take them out only if I suspect there's a possibility of conflict.....so rarely.

    Right on man, that’s a great haul. It will pay for your gas on the chopper plus some right ?

    • @JBHELI
      @JBHELI  3 місяці тому

      Sure will. It helps that I am working real close to where I prospect, making the cost of access minimal. 👌

    Great to get out! Thanks for bringing us along. Do you run the 6k on difficult ground, one notch up from the lowest for sensitivity in that hot soil? Also, Keen has a pretty good fiber glass handle pick :)

    • @JBHELI
      @JBHELI  3 місяці тому

      Awesome, I'll check out the Keene Pick.
      I run the 6000 in squiggly lines (difficult ground) on the highest level possible, as long as I'm getting that nice threshold hum while searching for a patch. Once a patch is found, if I can run flat lines, then I absolutely will, as there are a few 'dead zones' in squiggly lines when using a Mono Coil. If you can't run flat lines at all, go grab the DD and run that bad boy on the highest possible setting.
      In saying all that, once I've found a patch, I alternate between so many settings AND Coils. 👌

    Was thinking you would be out a lot further with the chopper but the buggers still stumbled onto your patch.😤
    We’re on our way over there now so hopefully we’ll find some good areas to check out. Any hints would be welcome 🙏

      We're actually in some really remote country......it's quite the slog to get into by quad bike, so I was surprised to even see tracks.

    What brand digging pick do you have. And where is all girls. They were good

    • @JBHELI

      I use a CC's pick. Got a great head on it.
      The girl will be back soon!!

    Love to watch you pulling that gold out. But, if you continue to not fill your holes in, you’ll continue to leave a “map” for the next guy to steal your gold after you put in all the hard work.

    • @JBHELI
      @JBHELI  3 місяці тому +4

      They do get filled once I'm finished there.....I leave them open during my day for good visual reference of the patch.

    If gold is available, why not carry out an integrated mining operation?

    • @JBHELI
      @JBHELI  2 місяці тому

      We have pegged the land, but it is a long and drawn out process before we can put a digger in there. But, it is happening!! Thanks for watching.

    JB Mate, at least the gold ratio to boot tacks is correct. I have a steel handle in my pick because of that problem.

    • @JBHELI
