There was a bit of a break in the weather so late in the arvo I went back to the spot where I left off yesterday. Put a plastic shopping bag over the control box & went for it. Bonus with the wet ground is that it makes things a bit more sensitive & conductive. Ended up with 6 little bits from an area of about 5 square meters that I have detected before. The conditions helping me out on this occassion to snag these 6. Good luck out there JW :)

G'day Gary, If only it worked like that LOL :) I have had one of my boys down for 6 days. Just seen him off at the airport this morning. I took him up to Skippers for a day on thursday....lucky ....as we have had a bit of a dump of snow over night & the skippers saddle is covered. Took him to the spot of the above gold finds for a couple of hours & he was using my Whites GMT & he found a .5 gram piece. I think I was more stoked for him than he was.....I managed a .2 gram piece. Cheers JW :)
