Where is Crazy Pete?
beepinpete_WA replied to hendo's topic in Gold Nugget Hunting & Prospecting Forum
Yeah, never actually been for a swing at Avoca but always wanted too after a bloke years ago told me a few tales Mainly done the top of the GT in the past and done ok up that way so it'll be good to walk some new dirt, bit sick of the WA dry bush and megga distances "1200 km" or more round trip to have a swing ... Good luck out there Roo Bein close to Avoca area puts ya in some good areas thats for sure Pete -
Nice Slugs there Roo Some top piccies too mate and yeah that wallaby is the fatest ive ever seen. That surfaced area looks real familiar to me, reckon ive been around the area many years ago in your pics above, nice lookin country that is.. Pete

Pinpoint with Minelab mono coil
beepinpete_WA replied to catpig's topic in All About Minelab Metal Detectors Forum
G'day Jeff Just to follow on from Robs Post on pinpointers, the main reason i use a pinpointer is to acurately locate a deep nugget. Many times on a deep dig you will go past the target thats hiding in the side wall of your hole and dig in the hardpack for no reason, the pinpointer saves heaps of digging in this scenario. Pete -

Nice haul there Tom and Pops, love that flat gold mate... BTW your video link wouldn't work for me Tom ? Pete -
Well, it was damn hot up at Cue over last weekend, could only detect from 4.30am through to 11am (43c) and at it's peak in the arvos it was 48c haha did we drink cold beers ? you bet but only after the main heat was gone, rest of the time it was water. Not a lot of gold was got with 13 small nuggies to me, and my mate Pete got 7 and Johnno got 4 i think. Time for a break in the cool for a month i reckon and then get back out there.. Carms - I also found a nice little leader last season and after detecting the top of it at 12 inches i cheselled off the cap specimen stone and re buried it and way pointed it, might get back this season and jackhammer it out, there's a bloke up in Meeka that has a small mill and will put a crush through for ya..

Cheers Carms Ya gotta get your hands on that "Natures Botanical" fly cream mate, it's the Only thing that actually gets rid of all flys, the Leo Information shop has it $22.. For sure Carms would be great to catch up mate and have a scratch.. Looking like 42c - 44c this week up at Cue, i'll be doing the siesta in the arvo and then working it up until 1 or 2 am like usual in the summer.. Pete

Nugget Found at a Club Outing
beepinpete_WA replied to Lucky Joe's topic in Youtube Prospecting & Metal Detecting Video Forum
Great Video Joe & Dad I remember the 1st nugget i dug using the 5k a couple of weeks after it's release :) Here comes an ouncer for sure i thought hahaha 1.5 grams at 10" and it gave a nice mellow drop signal :wacko: :lol: Thanks for sharing bro Pete -
Sounds like a great deal there Rob, i'm sure your customers are very happy with your level of service and personal integrity. In Oz we dont have any dealers who offer what you offer with a purchase, all we get is a Minelab provided training day for GPX Purchasers and i can tell you mate that some of the trainers leave much to be desired, some even going as far as talking down the 5000 and telling customers that they would have been better off to buy a 2200 WTF. Keep up the good work Rob Pete
