Thanks for following along mate. I typically just place a marker wherever I leave the car. GPS is typically pretty good in the bush. There aren't too many bushland areas in Victoria (especially the golden triangle) where you can walk for a km or so and not find a road. So the odds of getting proper lost a small. Better safe than sorry though.

@pkgoldopalhunting Sorry to hear that mate. It can be very hard. I have found Rushworth particularly difficult. Been there 4-5 times and no luck. Hope you get that first nugget soon. I try to scan an area for an hour or two and if no luck move on. Once you get gold, you can slow right down. What machine are you using?

@@BendigoGoldProspecting we both got gpx 4500 we did owe home work scanned out a lot of spots , diggings surfaced areas , mullock heaps , spend 4 to 5 hrs at 5 different spots in the area, always rubbish, have tryed around the whipstick a couple trips back with a monster 100 but no good , we tried few different settings coils om 4500 as well, what area do you suggest to try not giving away your spots put put us on the path to first pit nearly ready to give up and stick to panning

@pkgoldopalhunting If I was you I would give south of bendigo a try. Not so much with the 4500 but with the monster. Any of the mullocks within a 1.5km radius of diamond Hill road. Look for mullocks that have a good quartz percentage, not just slate. You should get something. Hard with the 4500 as most of the obvious big stuff in worked areas is gone. If you are going to use the 4500, probably better getting away from the diggings into areas people don't frequent. Most of my bigger nuggets have been in virgin ground away from diggings. Screamers from the top that any machine would have found.

@@BendigoGoldProspecting will try what you recommend thanks mate

Thanks mate. There is certainly no shortage of that out there so may as well show it 😅 Thanks for following along mate.

@goldpanvanman Thanks for following along and supporting the channel mate 👍🏻

@TroyWilkinson-jl7kf Thanks for the ID mate!

@sodoffxx Thanks mate! Glad you enjoy the content. Thanks for following along 👍🏻

@johnnuske2878 Exactly right mate!

@johnnuske2878 They could clearly see i was floundering haha Thanks for supporting the channel mate 👍🏻

@ramblinburdenw4563 Thanks for following along mate. I did see a few carp as I was walking up the river. I know there are some good golden perch in there too. Hope you get onto some in the near future 👍🏻

@IAMMoNo1 Can't say that I was mate. New nickname you reckon?? Haha

@@BendigoGoldProspecting All good. Knew a kid many years ago - probably looks nothing like you these days. Hope you get where you wish with your channel - not sure if I'll come along for the ride , but I'll have a peek occasionally just the same.

@adzoutnabout888 Thanks for the ID mate 👍🏻 I agree with the idea of a hat. Normally it's a struggle with the headphones and a hat. But a no brainer when through the external speakers.

@@BendigoGoldProspecting Can you pair blu tooth earbuds with your GPX ?

@adzoutnabout888 I have the GPZ mate. I think there is a Bluetooth speaker you can get for it but I haven't upgraded yet. Birthday list item.

@i_dig_it_melbourne Thank you! Whirlwind on the horizon im guessing... I had no idea what it was until I actually picked it up haha Hope there are some nice spots close by. Water source is even better this time of year. Thanks for the encouraging words. All the best in the field 👍🏻

@PetesGoldAdventures Cheers Pete 👍🏻 I'm a wannabe fishermen so I appreciate the tips. I'll give that a go next time. I was surprised by the amount of quartz in the river. Should have brought my pan to soothe my interest. Thanks for following along mate and good luck in the field.

@shanedoyle3444 Thanks mate! I have tried that in the past and been cursed with endless carp. Worth another shot though. That was quite a few years ago. Place was beautiful mate. Very lucky. Cheers for following along 👍🏻

@benanderson1000 Thanks mate. I'm a wannabe fisherman, so tips are appreciated 👍🏻 Thanks for following along.

@christianmclean3331 High on the hog hahaha I like that. Yea, there was a fair bit of indulgence going on. My waistband is feeling it post Christmas... Thanks for following along mate 👍🏻

@adamteague462 Thanks mate. Gold would have made things better but couldn't complain with the scenery. Thanks for following along mate 👍🏻

@DazGeary Thanks mate 👍🏻 just a matter of time.

@PetesGoldAdventures Thanks mate! There has to be some monsters in and around bendigo to be found. All the best for 2025 👍🏻

@markrobson948 Thanks for the support mate. I'm super keen for 2025. Hopefully some interesting things to put on display amongst my travels. Happy new year mate 👍🏻

@robertleeimages Thanks for the support mate. Glad you found some joy out of the travels. Happy new year and all the best for 2025 👍🏻

@i_dig_it_melbourne Thanks! Hopefully more to come in 2025. I also saw your collaboration with the guys at Victorian Gold Hunters. I love their work - just hilarious. Good luck for the year ahead 👍🏻

@BendigoGoldProspecting Cheers it was an epic day. 😁

@frenchys_prospecting Cheers mate! Thanks for the support and for following along. Happy new year and good luck on the gold in 2025 👍🏻

@BendigoGoldProspecting cheers bro. Same to you. I hope you get more of those nugnugs. I'll be heading out your way throughout the year to maryborough. I'll send you a message when I do. Got a little private access on Paddy's ranges

@kellybarber3326 Thanks for following along. I was very pleasantly surprised that's for sure! Happy new year 👍🏻

@@blaircrandell9293 Neptune! God bless his lost soul Happy new year mate xo

Thanks for following along Sharon. I really love the gold box so thank you! Most importantly, I love how much bigger the gold looks in the display 😂🤣 Happy new year 👍🏻

@piratescrew1869 Thanks mate! Hope you had a good wash up also. Good luck in 2025 👍🏻

@adamteague462 Thanks for following along mate! Hopefully bigger things for 2025 👍🏻

@philbophilbo4945 Thanks mate. Definitely not complaining. Hopefully bigger and better things to come in the new year 👍🏻

Yep he did good I'm lucky to find 2 grams of flour the whole year but still loving the adventure 😊

@pkgoldopalhunting Thanks mate. Happy new year and good luck in the year ahead 👍🏻

@mandybrown7758 Thanks for following along Mandy. Happy new year and see you next year!

@philbophilbo4945 Cheers mate! Merry Christmas to you also 👍🏻

@paulconnell2385 Thanks mate! Haha just wait until she hears the rocks going through the crusher. That's the bigger worry 😅 good luck!

@pkgoldopalhunting Thanks mate 👍🏻 all the best and thanks for following along. Have a good Christmas and New Year.

@ramblinburdenw4563 Thanks mate! I was pleasantly surprised.

@albertross9150 Cheers mate! Thanks for following along 👍🏻

That's great I know a small mine that brings 104 ounces to the surface every day I heard it's 8 Oz in every 50 tonnes they bring 13 loads that are 50 tonnes to their plant

@Noelzsazsa That's amazing mate. Is that Victoria. WA? Or overseas? Thanks for following the channel.

@BendigoGoldProspecting Victoria Bendigo mate I found all this out at a recent mining trade display at the Q.E.O. when they had the electric 50tonne dump truck there

@Noelzsazsa Thanks for following along mate. I have often fantasised similar thoughts driving past new estates around Bendigo. Glad to hear fantasy can become reality. Have a good Christmas mate.

@BendigoGoldProspecting you to mate merry Christmas

@philbophilbo4945 Good to hear mate. Pretty exciting hobby when you do find some treasure! Horses for courses in terms of selling mate. I have sold gold at Coiltek Maryborough before, but if you want to get as close to spot price as possible, I suggest selling private. There is a facebook page called Gold Hunters Victorian where you could list it. Good luck on the gold 👍🏻

@philbophilbo4945 Thanks mate! Hope to be getting out a little bit more over the holidays 👍🏻

@markrobson948 Thanks for following along mate! Hope you enjoy the future content 👍🏻
