Clair, I think everyone is chrismas shopping. The couple across the road from us are having an engagement party this afternoon/night, they dropped a letter in all the mailboxes close by....asking if they make too much noise please let them know, wasn't that a lovely thing to do?

JMK he had another pair (he called them his horse teeth) LOL he was buried in them. He thought he looked like a horse with them in, of course I didn't help things by tormenting him about his horse fangs.

Like I said I'll be lucky if I find any gold! We just got a new coil that detects smaller gold

Hi Clair

I remember when metal detectors first became readily available - there was reputedly much rejoicing in Kalgoorlie becuse a lot of  mine workers there already had gold but just needed somewhere to find it. 

When you first posted that I think I might've needed someone to explain it to me

I've had ancestors that mined in Kalgoorlie

So far we've dug a 4ft hole so..

4ft on big targets I suppose

Small pieces are no good, aim for the big bits. I think my dads biggest is 99 grams, but a lot of his friends have found much bigger than that.

I bet you supervise the digging part of the deal Clair.
