You guys are the best.old machines but a life time of knowledge great combo.Hope to see more videos Cheers Greg

[@matesandgold5712]

Thanks WD Greg. One factor you omitted is time - many believe that you can spend a few hours beeping in the outback and find a fortune. Unfortunately, it does not work like that. Unless you are jammy lucky, you have to put in the long, hard hours in the heat and flies. Even that may not guarantee success. As they say, the harder you work, the luckier you get! We have lots more videos to come.

well done fellas done well did you have a all up weight

[@matesandgold5712]

Thanks for your comment. See Video 2 for the weigh-in.

[@robbie8142]

Gooday campers. Good to see your ripping through the gold and like true Aussie champions your taking all those pesky metallic targets with you as well. I've nearly broken my back clearing every bit that I find from dickheads leaving all for the next Aussie to find not to mention tripping over those unfilled holes. Great to see fellas. Your a legend! 🇭🇲🤗

[@matesandgold5712]

G'day Robbie. Thanks for your comments. Leaving holes is simply lazy, ignorant and bad etiquette. It is also indicates an area that's worth scanning again because the lazy and ignorant are usually people who also don't have the skill or thoroughness to find all of the elusive nuggets!

[@robbie8142]

@@matesandgold5712 Thanks heaps for your reply AND you ought to be a psychologist! You've changed my thinking of those naughty prospectors I mentioned from annoyance to almost feeling sorry for them 😁 Almost! Thanks fellow diggers, maybe our paths will cross one day before they put us away. Cya! 🇭🇲🤗

Love the Tunes !!! Who are those guys? Ear gold!!!

[@matesandgold5712]

Merci Gérard. Quelle meques - les cherchers d'or ou les musisciens?

[@gerardange]

@@matesandgold5712 meques ??? The second cut with the sax and Guitar… was totally awesome!!!!!! As for your patch in WA … just incredible when you find a spot like that! I’d love to be out there with my IVECO and my 4500 with the Coiltek Elite 14” !!! But, unfortunately with the current state of affairs and the CIA backed Puppet goose stepping Government in Canberra > I will only be down there only after they are all swinging from trees!!! Yes in deed it is true… We are all suffering from the same planned Society crushing Totalitarianism world wide… crazy times we are all living in !! I long for the good o’l days of honest people good friends, Great Music and good times!!! and lots and lots of big beautiful gold waiting to be found!!! Stay safe Mates!!!! PS: Great editing and Video Production !!!

[@matesandgold5712]

@@gerardange Thank you so much. One of the best things about the remote outback is the total freedom from the normal rules, regulations and legislation of mainstream society. I've experienced the same in the Yukon, Alaska and several other off-grid parts of the world. I'll ask Tim about the music. He says that he has full copyright title so it may be some of his own work. If you like sax then have a listen to the music on one of our other videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f57Eo4mbZpKCbpI I got to love the seductive sound of the sax from my old schoolfriend (now died) Raf Ravenscroft. He composed and played the intro to 'Baker Street'. He was paid UK£30 for his performance and the cheque bounced! Enjoy.

I really had to do the demographics on this adventure. I signed up on tengraph. Hoping to do some study for the dangerous trip in the outback. Western Australia in comparison to the United States. WA has 2.7 million inhabitants and is 3.5 times the size of the US state Texas, in comparison Texas has 30 million inhabitants and looks like a barren no man's land. So I honestly don't think the odds are against you if you can survive the WA.

[@rubyremi3832]

Penis lol great to see your mate ship , off on a paid tour in lenora in a couple of months to see if I’m a future prospect tor ....Skip

For various reasons, it's been sometime since we were out in the goldfields. No recent videos but I have plenty of unpublished video, so might put some new online soon.
