hill end with GPX5000

[steveo1]

Back from hill end with no gold heaps of lead not sure if I'm using my detector right I will send a photo of all my lead need to go out with someone to teach me how to use my detector steve

Sounds like you're doing it right, just need to walk over a nice nugget with it.

 

[Rusher]

If you're getting lead you must be using it right Heathos right just have to walk over the nuggets its a pity they don't yell out to you and let you know they're only a couple of inches to the right or left grrr

Gday Stevo,
If your finding lead,then any Nuggets you walk over wont have a hope.
Hill End is a tough place to learn the ropes mate.
I did a stack of trips out there before I found my first bit.
Keep at it

If your getting lead its a fairly good chance your doing nothing wrong & the area you are in hasn't been too thoroughly done so keep persevering.

Thanks mbasko

As pro dude said hill end is a hard area to find gold
It took me 12 months of 3 days a week to
Find my first hill end bit
But if your digging lead it could easily be gold
You don't normaly find one without finding both
So your on the right track !

That's the difference between detecting and panning mate. Most spots you can always get colour in your pan, detcting can be lot more hit and miss.
