It really great when you hit a sunbacker and even more when you see them before the detector does.🤩

The wear and tear on that hand shows that it was well earned. The 20 to 30 grams are the best size to keep.🤪

Sometimes the research is more fun than the finding. The tensioner were great, a bit like the piece of a broom handle my Dad use to make when I was a kid. Very similar to the titanium one on my ultra light hiking/bushwalking tent. But the findings is hard to beat.

He was a great member, I never met the guy but wished I had. R.I.P.

It is easy when you know how, but hard to learn. Great photos 🥇

Doc did the green Garret Deepseeker inspire you to select green and the G from Garret.

Good to see an Aussie component in it. Tasmanian Oak and Victorian Ash come from two near identical eucalypt species, E. Delegantensis and E. Regnans. While there are some minor differences between the two types of timber that are listed below, there are a remarkable number of similarities, making them often interchangeable.

You will be surprised how pretty the little dirty beast will be after it has had long beauty bath in ACID 🤩

This is the Australian equivalent of Memorial Day and why it is so important Origins of Remembrance Day Why is this day special to Australians? At 11 am on 11 November 1918 the guns on the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare. The allied armies had driven the German invaders back, having inflicted heavy defeats upon them over the preceding four months. In November the Germans called for an armistice (suspension of fighting) in order to secure a peace settlement. They accepted allied terms that amounted to unconditional surrender. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month attained a special significance in the post-war years. The moment when hostilities ceased on the Western Front became universally associated with the remembrance of those who had died in the war. This first modern world conflict had brought about the mobilisation of over 70 million people and left between 9 and 13 million dead, perhaps as many as one-third of them with no known grave. The allied nations chose this day and time for the commemoration of their war dead.

That is big lost to all of use, and I think many more here in Australia will agree with me. All the best wishes to his family.
