Hi Matty and fellow PMAT members, the committee has met recently and discussed likely trips 🙂 1st up is: West Coast Heritage and Mineral Fair at Zeehan (THIS weekend!) although not an official club trip, this is well worth a look, Ron and Andrew H have a stall with nuggets and speccies for sale. 2-4th DEC: Sabbath Ck, this is on Andrew’s EL, camping at forestry site, hope to have the excavator doing test holes into the Tertiary gravels, more details closer to the day! _break for Xmas_ 10-12th FEB: Back Creek with AGM! start thinking about prizes for the big raffle (donations welcome), token hunt, gold detecting, highbanking etc That’s a start, and we will firm up autumn gem and gold trips at the AGM 😀 Cheers Andrew G ---

Good on you guys for getting things moving. I can see one of these getting some use at Back Creek ![visuel_1_A](https://forum.pmat.org.au/uploads/default/original/2X/7/7f07647ea48768b87b9e6008c4e2a4f32595fec7.jpeg) [Made in France by the XP company.](https://www.xpmetaldetectors.com/en/gamme/xtrem-hunter-detectors.php) This is real competition for Minelab. When detecting you can’t carry a shovel because of noise but if it’s detecting to 5 meters you will need an excavator anyway. 😀 Worth between 4 and 5 grand when they get to Australia. Nobody wants to dig deep trash so they would have to be a gold detector. ---
