Hello Guy, could you take the 18" mythtek to the Inglewood test patch site and test in prospecting mode and prospecting audio please. I would like to see how deep it goes on those known targets and their depths without disturbing the ground. Thanks for all your good videos.
Can you run through your setting on the night hunt as your detector was chatting like😮 a chook, type them up here would be fine , was the chatting from the coil or what sensitivity winded up to full. Sharing setting is also very helpful for those that are just starting out. Cheers
To be honest I’m not a fan of using coin and relic machines for gold. The performance difference is massive and prefer to work through the trash with a gold machine. I have found tiny pieces of metal at depth with the M9, which might suggest it might be OK
Good info, Guy. Depth plus discrimination in a lighter but larger coil. The night hunt in the dog-walking park you refer back many years looked very like your first RU-vid videos, the consequence of having binged them all, might say GemQ1, but zoom-in was much clearer in comparison! Looking forward already to journeys closer to home, the histories seem rediscovered with each advance in detector capabilities, and the possibilities for the 75% of the gold that hasn't been found yet. Any lucky encounter of fresh fire-break cutting, roadworks grading or bulldozer action - the areas covered by the foresty companies, ones that need an application form for access, have you had that experience and accessed any interesting grounds that way? It's an approach we're thinking about, having seen old workings among a Gippy plantation some time ago, looking over places we'd been, but now with more accurate historical information than found in ancient local library community project history folios, full of errors! Ground proofing is far more satisfying. Cheers, Gabi
Good onya Guy. Can you plug in a multi port power board? I'd like to have one of those Bluetti's. Thinking of doing some camping & definitely need a good power source.
Like the look of that 9 inch coil for the manticore. Probably the perfect size. I’ve been looking at some of those power banks. There getting better and better 👍
Appreciate the final weigh-in, Guy, after the huge trip, looking all shiny too. Had a laugh that you'd tested the accuracy of a conversion table with a full nugget, for testing purity, using specific gravity. We'll have to await longer between episodes, we've been spoilt with this adventure, though I'm sure you'll be searching again soon for ideal geology for gold or even gems, GemQ1, and an itch to share these! Maybe just closer to home, but I won't assume! Cheers and thanks again! Gabi of Narre Warren, just under the Dandenong Ranges.
Pretty good effort there Guy. It seemed you were on struggle street with the low weight on a few days but you pulled through with a nice pile of nugs. Well done mate
Well done Guy, quite an adventure. Is this your 1st time doing WA? I've done it twice in 2008 & 2009, didn't do as good as you but the gold we got paid for the trips & we thoroughly enjoyed it the whole time there.
Great to see it all, and the treacherous creek crossing. That looked like flattened flaking bedrock, they'd be squashing rounder nuggets into those flatties and dispersing them in their big rain events about the place. A trip many only dream about, thanks for sharing it!
Well done Guy, Great trip mate thanks for sharing your adventure with us, hope to catch up with you soon once the ground gets a little softer, Still dry for my liking.
