Good to see you finding some, and putting the Bunning's pick to good use - know what I mean like... :)

Fantastic video

Thanks Tim, Glad you enjoyed it.

Excellent video. Really liked the shots of the gold at the end. Grats on the gold. Thank you and your cameraperson for sharing. Subbed!!!

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it👍

[@jaybales3160]

Very interesting demonstration. Congratulations on the color in what I thought would be an unlikely area to find gold.

[@gazzasgold9266]

Yes Jay....I think many others thought the same thing and why the gold is still there....

[@tonylitherland1058]

Love it! Thanks for sharing your adventures! About to do the same myself! Cheers Tony

[@gazzasgold9266]

Well good luck out there Tony!

[@spotlobac7694]

i saw this vid b4 & love it, whats with the flies ? theres nothing there , what do they eat besides you ?

[@gazzasgold9266]

Well there is plenty of carcasses, road kill and cattle droppings to feed them.... And after, a nice drink perhaps from a human eyes, nose, mouth... You become oblivious to them after the first billion. Yes they are a nuisance to say the least. The worst for me is the midges in the swampy areas-they attach themselves to you lay eggs and the bites re inflame when scratched the bites get bigger, lasts for days, and itch all through the night whereby you want to use a wire brush on yourself, terrible things and why I carry anti histamines, white vinegar etc....then there's the other nasties I meet at night..... Still finding Gold makes it worthwhile. 👍

Great video. Was wondering if there was any prospecting spots out north .north/west just got a metal detector and tryna figure out we’re to start finding gold

[@gazzasgold9266]

Get to borrow Gold and Ghosts book. Magazines from Detector shops. Do your research BEFORE you go. Get "Trilobite" app on your phone. Worth every penny. Start around old mines....Good Luck. Be safe.

[@vk6xcj]

Wow sitting on the surface! Looks like you have a great mate companion sitting on ya shoulder :) I have my mate puppy dog Cassie she loves walking with me on a lead. Wish our pets could sniff out gold. Thinking about going up to Cue but the heat is making me think twice... But anyway keep getting that gold.. Oh yeah gold fever alright lol

[@gazzasgold9266]

Hi Christie....I have a new companion ,too a large German shepherd who will appear in next video. BUT he is a sook, does not really like the bush...nothing to sniff, too many flies bothering him( I worry about the baits anyhow). Does not like to stray too far from the swimming pool and his smackos.!! Too hot now....I check to see if a cool period coming and i will zip up for a week but when its 39,40,39....no thanks. How do you go at cue?

[@vk6xcj]

@@gazzasgold9266 hi, haven't got to Cue yet, it's now to hot.. My dog loves being with me, I put a muzzle on her, I stay reasonably close to my van, she try's to get the muzzle of after about 30 Min to an hour, so we walk back to van to have breaks and move on etc. I'll be back out after summer hopefully there's still some gold left for me lol :) I live in Perth so it's a good long drive to just duck out.

[@robbie8142]

Gooday Gazza. Thanks very much for taking the time to film your marvelous adventure. Sooo many good pieces of fun in such a short period. Could you please tell me what was the main reason of the change in ground where you needed to swap digging implements from spade to pick? The ground looked very different. Thanks mate!

[@gazzasgold9266]

Mostly use a pick...yes sometimes ground quite soft and can just use scoop other times just hard work with a pick...glad you enjoyed video....need to do another soon.

[@EZGamingAllDay]

Love the videos mate! just got back from a trip to Menzies and Kalgoorlie but had no luck finding the yellow stuff. Only went to pending areas but buy the looks it was very well picked over. Did manage to find a lot of bullet shells and bits of tin. Would love to get into it full time!! would love to chat with ya bout how to find gold bearing ground!

[@gazzasgold9266]

I do this for a living and love it but need a few other interests to pay the bills. To find the gold is a LOT of research and PERMISSIONS.I find more then most because I use techniques that find more gold. I am taking people out as a tag along the cost very reasonable. I know what you experienced because have been there myself. Do you own machine or hire? Have you ever found gold? Thx for interest anyway. Gaz

[@EZGamingAllDay]

@@gazzasgold9266 Yeah if I had enough time before the holiday i would have applied for a 40e. Next time I recon ill get a 40e sorted before I head off with the family again. Yep I have my own machine but haven't found gold yet. The places I've looked have the old timers diggings and salt n pepper or the off coloured quartz but just no luck. I have only looked on pending areas so I'm guessing there wouldn't be much left. Also when your out looking for that first nugget in a new area do you do a grid search of an area or just have a general walk over the area to see if you can pick up something?

[@gazzasgold9266]

@@EZGamingAllDay I am a bit negative about 40e's since they quadrupled price last year, not justified. I know you are yet to find a piece but once on the gold then you swing a quarter of the speed, that's a must. Then you grid.. This is because you get "mineral shading" shape of nugs and other factors. The last freebie I will give is this....if you are in an area of known gold don't get lazy. Move old logs, motion around stumps, 20 years ago they were bushy trees and hard to poke a detector around. Most humans will detect an easy route, you have to be different. Stay away from so called known "patches" they are hammered and not worth the effort. The old timers give "THE BEST" indicators. Read gold and ghosts. Go get some. If not you can consider tagging with me. I am looking at one more trip this season but have people already booked. Cheers.

[@EZGamingAllDay]

@@gazzasgold9266 Thank you for the info I will defiantly put it to use when I head out next. Hoping to get out yalgoo to sandstone way before it gets to hot for a swing so will let you know how I go. Cant wait for some more vids to watch.

Hi Holland.... Nice cheese.! The flies just exist- probably from dead animals, you wear a flynet or repellent when bad. I become oblivious to them, even on my sandwiches! #Not so many on cold days.

Hi great video 👍 I noticed that you are covered in flies in the video! I would go crazy 😝 Do you use a repellent to keep them out of your face?

very hard to answer that....you do not want to be out there December through to march/April. Your best doing it as a hobby first to learn then decide later.

[@AUTOGARAGERIM-CARS]

Nice Job the machine gpx 4500 or 5000 share the settings please

[@gazzasgold9266]

I use a GPX4500 for the bigger gold "mostly" with an 8 inch coil. Its my favourite coil . I have many others bigger including AI coils for the salt. I clean up with an SDC2300 for the really small stuff but my 4500 will pick up 0.1-0.2 gms easily. I know a bigger coil gives you more sweep but I am not in a hurry. I designed and built my own Audio enhancer. Clearer and more reliable then those on the market now.( WIll be selling these shortly to those interested). As for the settings, main ones are Search mode-General,TImings- Enhance, Ground balance usually- tracking but if ground not too noisy -Fixed. Coil- Mono.(Always do an auto tune in a new area).I quick ground balance on new soils or every half hour or so. Others.Special I use "sharp". Motion medium. Audio type normal. Rx gain as high as you possibly can go (why would'nt you!) adjusting the stabiliser to suit keeping unit overall quiet. Audio tone ,for me anyway, 46. Tracking speed medium. Response normal. Target volume 12....if I missed any let me know. Cheers Gaz.
