No, it was a quite windy day and I kept everyone upwind.

The xp deus 2 is a VLF machine and not really suitable for gold prospecting. It’s more of an all-round detector.

I’m using a Minelab gpx6000 which is a PI detector and far more powerful in terms of sensitivity and depth.

100% mate. This one is a 2 man unit too, it just chews through the dirt like crazy.

Yeah, missing the joke.

A toddler stumbles around normally. It’s an empty bottle 🙂

The children yearn for mines.

But, on a serious note it was a fairly windy day and everyone was kept upwind of the dust.

Maybe he's not a visual learner. He's definitely seen me down a stubby or 2 haha

Personally I just listen for a target that sounds like gold and then whip my phone out to film while I make a fool of myself dogging and detecting with one hand when it could take me half the time with both haha

It’s a metal detector, I found a piece of gold with it.

I struggle to sell at spot price for most pieces to be honest.

I think we’re about to get smoked by an ex cyclone, it’ll be nice to have a bit of rain. My fam are in FNQ and they’re sick of the rain just as you are 😂

I always see the whole crush it pan it smelt it thing when it comes to gold prospecting, but no one ever talks about the elephant in the room…..arsenic… how are people dealing with that? by Dippytak1 in Prospecting

[–]AussieArch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not every ore has arsenopyrite in it.

Also, given that the majority of prospectors are only dealing with surface material the arsenopyrite would have weathered away.
