hey all just postin a bit about myself, well here goes, after the mt celia/ redcastle trip i decided to join the site cos i really enjoyed being out there even though i only found six nugs making about 9 grams it was a good experience for me. anyway im just about to finish my apprenticeship as a auto electrician for komatsu in perth and i dont really have any idea what to do when i finish. so yeah just new to the detecting scene and will probably be looking at buying a detector too hopefully in the not too distant future. ben. |

Hi Ben, Good to see you join the forum. I suppose Alan gave you a bit of stick if you didn't. Finally got the gold fever after stealing all of Jon's patch at Redcastle eh!!!!!!!!! With you & me setting up a repair business on Jon's equipment we should make a killing incase we don't strike any of the yella stuff. [LOL] How about posting a couple of pics of your finds in the Photo Gallery. Cheers Ted |

Hi Ben, Welcome to the forum. Seen you had a good time at the Trip. Sorry to hear you only found 6 nuggys totaling 9 grams, I know it's hard to take but time heals most wounds. You'll get over it! When you become more experienced like myself you'll start finding the real stuff - bullets and nails! Stick at it bros, you'll get there! Cheers Dave |

Hi Ben Sorry missed you up bush Ben. But you know about the road train. I may be heading up in July but it will be the back of beyond. I am still in Pommy land having a good time in the rain. I will catch up with Alan if I do go. Remember it not the gold that matters (even though it is nice to find a bit) its the jerny to find it that is what its about. Cheers John

Welcome to the forum Ben, It was great to see you joining in and hopefully carry on the detecting tradition through the ages. Hopefully we older generation can pass on our knowledge and encourage the likes of you. We were a little disappointed we had to leave Mt Celia and not carry onto Redcastle with the gang. Hopefully catch up with you again on the next meet. WHERE are we heading too next? Cheers Peter & Carol |
