beepinpete_WA Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 HiI just couldnt wait any longer, it was driving me nuts not goin for a swing so at 3am early Xmas evemy battery was charged, 6 litres of frozen water,car fueled and i headed off to sthn x for a swing.I knew it was gonna be 40c later in the day so i figured i'd get there by 6.30am and be swinging 10 minuteslater all going well, and as things went all did go very well indeed.After the quick run out from the Cross to my spot, on went the gear (GPX5000/11" Commander Mono)but geez the sun already had some poke in it as i guzzled down the first 2 litres of water before headingout for a scratch in the dirt.It didnt take long before that first yummy sweet mellow sound that had to be gold came through my shoulderspeaker, and so it was, at 4" down the 1st bit of xmas eve gold saw the light, nothing big mind you asthis spot so far hasnt given me anything over 14.9 grams so far.Bloody hell the sun had some sting in it, and i was wiping the sweat from the eyes by 8am and it alreadyfealt 32 ish, anyway more water and more gold was the order of the day.the night before i had this crazy thought of rubbing the first nugget i found next on my DWAG cap badge forgood luck, and thats what i did, and mannnn it worked a treat, the small nuggets just kept on popping upall over areas i'd already been over with the same set up, but today i was running some more extreme settings.Front panelGSpecial - FineFixedMonoRear screen - all FP exceptGain - 19 out of 20Signal - flat outMotion - slowStab - 12Audio - boostBy 12pm it was as hot as a barsterd so i pulled the pin and headed back home, the morning was a good sessionwith 15 small bits in the can for 5.1 Grams, and some red dirt on the skin Ahhhhhh that fixed the fever for a while..CheersPete in WAhttp://detectingwestaustral.4rumer.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
