The Australian Swamp Wallaby aka Black Wallaby (I believe the local Dja Dja Wurrung tribe call it 'go-yin') is quite common but usually much more flighty/skittish. He kept me company for a good 5-10 minutes while I was detecting. Love those simple bush encounters 👌

This cost me next to nothing and works way better than I expected.
Pulled super fine specks I missed in the pan… plus a few flattened flakes hiding in already “cleaned” material.
This is going to save me a lot of time.

Found this little guy after it hit the fence.
Looked pretty rough… so I gave it a warm place to rest.
Opened the box at sunrise and it was gone in a flash! 🥹
Back where it belongs.

Happy hump day 😅You getting out this weekend or just thinking about it?

I started scraping mud off my boots after spotting a few specks one day…

2 months later — this is the result.

Only ~0.03g… but I’m running this for a year 😅

Should I change my name to 'Boot Crumbs Prospecting'?

Buckshot Prospector reckon this beats sock gold?
