Hello members, Received a call from Ted's wife to say he has reached his destination on Ashburton Downs and is settled into his camp. No gold to date. Hope to listen out for him on the VKS-737 sked. Will keep you informed. Cheers Peter |

Hello members, Managed to make contact with Ted (Top Cat) on the HF radio, VKS-737- 8022, had clear reception considering the foul weather here and the 1200km distance to his camp site. He has had to put up with rain and wind as well but is in good spirits even though he has been unable to walk over any gold in the area. Detecting is difficult due to the rough terrain and old bones. He found and past digging that was not mentioned in the records however someone beat him too it, countless detector holes on slope above and below, only a few months old. He's going to stick it out for a few more weeks then maybe return closer to home. Peter |
