Old Tech still finds gold Victoria Australia

[ocean]

Hi,during Easter2009,using old tech? vlf a Tesoro gold demon first gen. machine after many years!found Gold!
Easter christian celebration is a holiday here in Oz.over a 4 day break from work,an a couple of random afternoon ,detecting with an old tech machine ,
found some gold! location out of Stawell Victoria Australia.Yes the old tech machine worked well,Match head size nuggets found ,along with lots of brass cases an bullet
heads ,an 100yr old metal buttons an some trash!Lots!dig everything to be sure,espec. faint.no discrim.
I was surprised ! this ground is reputed to be thrashed out by many lastest gen. machines ??especially the spots I was guided to by a local!
Im very happy Ive got something to show for my brief efforts,even if match head size.Im impressed the old tech machine worked so well in the tough High mineralise Aust. Bush. yes was a bit of constant ground balance done with the pot,an Auto tune was on!Im very happy I didnt have to spend many $$$$ thouasands of dollars on a new tech machine an get results!its in my hand an im pleased!
I believe now that there still is a very usefull place for these machines an its Not in the Bin!
When I go again ,its with me as the third arm.an $$$ to follow!
Thanks!

First of all I'm glad to hear you had a great time and most of all found some Gold! Well done. You may be limited with what you find but as long as you are finding the yellow its a good thing. VLF machines will always have their place on the gold fields for sure, I use both a VLF and a PI machine and both have their uses. I just got back yesterday from a trip made short due to bad roads and tall grass.....gonna have to wait another two months before we head back out again. All the best with your next adventure!
Cheers!

Hi nugget71,thanks for your positive encouragement!
Ive recieved an older tech PI machine very recently from here on the forums from forum friend Draco,its a good machine an very simple an sensitive.
It picks up the old marksman air rifle pellets an match head size nuggets at 2 inches easy just in air test. cant wait to try this in the field!
seems superbly simple an sensitive ,an old CS6. will try some of the past popular mods to this for better results?
Best regards ocean
