Night detecting in the Territory

The wife and I are in the Territory visiting the daughter, son in law and grandkids out in Kakadu. I managed to catch up with an old mate (and make a new mate too) in Tennant and do a bit of detecting at night when it had supposedly cooled down. We didn't get much, about 12grams between three of us but it was an adventure and a great experience. No doubt there is some good gold around that area if you care to put the time in. I ended up with 4grams.

My tally of Territory gold to date.



A couple of nice bits found by Dale Millar of Tennant Creek.



Some of the locals can give you a bit of a fright. A black headed python about 2 metres in length.

Thanks to Dale and Billy for showing me around and I hope to be able to return the hospitality when they get to WA.

Good stuff Toad.Were you guys only detecting using your head lamps or did you have other lights set up.Love the first pic.

K town.

We had a genset running a 500 watt flood next to the car just so we could keep our bearings. Led headlights we're more than sufficient to detect by though.

Good onya Neil, good to see ya gettin some, great pics too, hows the heat during the day and the humidity, down here its 43.6 but low humidity 22%, Stu
