**once I hit 1000 subscribers I will be giving all gold and coins found to viewers ** Detecting Victoria is a channel dedicated to metal detecting. Swinging the Minelab manticore and the GPX 6000, on the hunt for gold and relics . Contact: detectingvictoria@gmail.com
Good looking countryside, John. We'd be interested in your thoughts on trying the Manticore in looking for gold, whether the adjustments you'd had a go at have worked or not, finding any gold with our Equinox 600 is always a bloody surprise but hard work if it's specifically gold that you're after with that type of detector, not used a pulse induction one, unless that's what the old Kmart and newish Aldi ones are, doubt it though. I noticed your number is now at 499! Good luck with this, John, as the seasons seem uncertain, the folk will want to get outdoors, find something else to do after the footy season and kid's teams comps are done. Cheers to this, too! Onya. G.
I think the manticore will be ok in high trash areas for gold. It will take some patience though. The 600 will be the same. Low and slow. Yes I’m now at 500 which means 1g GOLD GIVEAWAY!! Stay tuned 💪💪
Nice areas, John. We'd joshed before that the GPX & GPZ detectors are just like theremin synthesizers, waving hands close to a receptor loop for pitch and tones, and you'd said you were letting your GPX machine "warm up", the same we do for our old keyboards, and they start to hum after a while. Good luck for some sweet inverted signal sounds, cheers. (Cheers to the brother too, had you said he's named Theo, or am I making things up? Anyhoo, moving right along!)
The fact of the matter is most of you rely on the incompetence of the old timers to find gold, most alluvial diggings were deeper than any detector can penetrate, that's when you need to go out and actually look around the area
A very pleasing patch, John. Interesting the thought you had on che change in fortunes at another time of the day. Another gold prospector, Andrew, of "Another Gold Prospector" suggests the detecting is better at night for the sbsence of EMI from the sun, unsure this applies equally to the types of detector used, I'd like the $9K and test this idea ourselves! Anyhoo, cheers and good luck and many happy returns to the patch, nice weigh-in!
Thanks mate. In my 4 years detecting I have not seen 1 snake 🐍 I definitely keep my eye out though as I know they are watching me🤣. Thanks for watching 💪💪
Cheers Pete. This is my 4th patch in this area. But it’s very spread out. Just need to keep swinging to find them but plenty gold around. Thanks for watching 💪
Back in and back to a known patch, had it been done with a 6000 before, maybe back with a different coil if depths and size tell it's possible, here's to the dream anyway. Onya John!
GPX 6000. Visited St Arnaud, Maryborough and Talbot this week using the Signal and Doug Stone maps, mainly in the shallow workings areas. Prior to that Wedderburn, Inglewood and Bendigo Whipstick worked areas by the old timers. Mainly use manual sensitivity areas 1,2 and 3. Consistently noise cancelling and balancing the unit. Tried old creek beds, scrapped areas no joy. Most areas just have rubbish. It makes me wonder whether I should go to non worked areas.
Fun with the fish in the warm, blue sea, John. Lap in the sunshine and splashes, be a few weeks until Melbourne warms up again. Cheers for the aquatics at Crete!
Just amazing, John. Your looking at certain things in particular, we could feel your pain in not swinging the detector over the cracked paths, through countless rooms, around the giant amphorae in the agora, the scale of the place yet to be revealed was bit of a shock, bring on the nudist German archaeology undergraduates, I say. I'll consider offering our services, just let us know ha ha. The Minoan jewellery cabinet needs more examples found, good there weren't detectors about with Lord Elgin's thieves and crooks 200 years ago, though I'm sure they shifted some dirt and had a good crack at it, their haul we'd seen in London museums, of all places. The dude who started the Hobart MONA museum of old and new art has a beaut collection of legally-bought Minoan and other civilizations gold coinage, I'd bought the art book of the opening, has close-ups of the coinage, and because it has a CD in the back that's essentially the band, TISM, combining a variety of our interests, in an unexpected but meaningfully coherent package. As was this video. Be well, rhe!
Amazing site, 200 million years in the making geology, ghastly 200 year ago massacre. You'd imagine some finds to be had, early gold coins, through to items from eras of occupation by varied cultures. Doing things by the book might take as long for approvals, but the Greek authorities take well to interested parties, especially if they're Australian Greek with metal detectors, compared to other interested groups, like in their university doing months of digging the one test trench, being reminded in German that they ought put their clothes back on, that they're not in a Berlin park! There's so many sites everywhere in Greece, needing archeological assessments, and protection from thieves, but you don't know what's there to protect unless it's assessed, but you'd need stacks of approvals anyway, export permits, etc, but like permissions back home, it doesn't mean you get to keep what you find, but not everything that's found wants their keeping, hey. It doesn't need to be looking where the tourists flock, it's maybe under the dirt floor of the old buildings at the relative's property where the real treasures may lie. You'd need to suss out the local political leaders... But it's your history, they might be delighted with the interest and chances to reconnect communities. Everything though has to have paperwork, important finds faked papers get big jail times. The end of a discontinued gold mine adit, as with the cave, is maybe where the luck ran out, and should be the last place to look?! It's a thought we'd arrived at on watching Levi of Tassie Boys Gold Adventures latest episode, a type of carry-over winning conclusion that should be shared. Another was about a nightclub opening on a Greek island, in a village well away from the main town, playing different "house" music, and suddenly the little town has hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Happy trails! Thanks for sharing.
It’s amazing here with history. This took 4 hours to upload due to poor reception. I’m in a pretty remote area. Knowing the history and ancient stories of this cave definitely gave me a vibe. I wish I could detect in there lol. Just something really special about walking in the footsteps of someone from back in BC. Can’t explain it.
Hi bro, great video! A suggestion if I may? When you get a good reading, lift your coil in the air and swing again, if it’s still reading it’ll be large junk.
A top visual adventure into history and archaeology, thanks for sharing. Interesting seeing the combination of Hellenistic, Islamic (headstones styled in Greek and Arabic themes, arches, leaves, that round egg thing, nice you showed it) and Venetian, the fort, parapets with arrow slits for archers, through to cannon ramparts, cannons just laying around. The arch at the start to enter the fort had a stone picture frame with the picture seems chiseled out, it would maybe have been the symbol of the Venetian republic, a lamb holding a flying flag. Keep up the great visual diary, but have fun foremost, cheers! (Pardon not using your name, but we've forgotten, you don't state it lately in the videos, hope you don't mind us mentioning this! Soz!)
Lately I’ve seen heaps of holes left open & not backfilled, mostly in the Creswick area, also mullock heaps totally flattened out. Plus rubbish dumped in the bush & broken glass 😢. Not cool.
Too many dick heads think it's ok to leave the bush in a mess, they will get it all locked up for everyone, there was an army of gold monster users levelling wild dog diggings a few years back, not good
Nice spot with chunkier pieces, and the relics site looks unaffected by the Wally wombat leaving holes. Happy trails to Hellas, although you might still want to visually detect, with the fiancé, your family sites for relics and ephemera, that you'd be interested would give added pride and other sentiments for your relatives over there - an example, when our family went visiting Croatia, they found an old portrait photo of our grandma with her parents, and had it been left in the old, unused house, it'd have fallen and rotted away by now. It was rare to have a photo taken at all in the village 90 years ago, now us ancestors have it to share and show. Mind, I'd love to take over my metal detector and look for Roman gold and silver, we had two of the last emperors, Valentian and Valens, a few towns across. One of their daughters sent a ring to some dude in Greece, as a peace gesture, and started a war. I forget which famous whatnot but you and I have a few weeks to try remember! Yassas!
I wanted to get permission to detect over here as my uncles and unties have some old property. But it’s tricky with the Greek government but not impossible. Plus my fiancée would kill me if I spent our holiday detecting 🤣🤣
