Hi All. i notice there has been not much feedback from the trip to the Pilbara so here goes ! ![20230828_145731](https://forum.pmat.org.au/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6adcdd0afa20ec4ae271f8ed5bb04200d0557644.jpeg) Fox ,myself and later joined by AH and Craig and Ron W. teamed up with Lindsay ,Phil,Kevin and Peter. we worked not far from town and all in all had a great time , detecting in different directions daily and sitting by the fire out bush evenings for a show and tell and a few beverages 😁. needless to say everyone got their share of the yellow stuff ! the pic is what i managed to score myself ! the larger piece is 24grams , many speccies with about 20grams attached. the rest you can guess for yourselves πŸ˜‰ i wont elaborate on what each got as thats their stories and AMAZING STORIES they are. i would like to thank Ron Gregory for sending his 6000 up for me to try. thkx Ron. i find the 6000 to be a very good lightweight detector and very impressed by its sensitivity on small gold at depth.! it will also find larger gold deep πŸ‘.Great Machine but does have some teething issues. All in all a terrific trip away . cheers everyone. ---

This years wet season was massive in the Pilbara and took out the Fitzroy Crossing bridge. Looks like it washed out a fair bit of gold as well. A lot of the gold reminds me of β€˜corn flakes’, but they add-up πŸ™‚ ---

Had an awesome trip to the Pilbara W A, great company, good scenery plus a bit of yellow stuff. The new 6000 proved to be a real game changer.
