    Native dog creek closed ?

    There are still signs up last time I looked. The coil might knock a Booroolong frog in the head? I guess just disturbing the ground down there is a no-no now. In all honesty, the gold is pretty fine not really detectable, you would have much more luck down Trunkey if you were in that neck of the...

    Aliexpress ???

    No issues, bought plenty from them. Shop carefully as one seller can be so much cheaper than the next. They are mostly all resellers shopping from the same manufacturer themselves. Wait times can vary but with covid I have found them to be a bit longer. Keep an eye on postage costs! The good...

    Turon River NSW level status

    Yeah, they upgraded the flood level warning too. A mate sent me a crazy vid of a spot that must be under 8' of water that's usually exposed bedrock.

    Gold Bars on marketplace in Bathurst.

    He reckons the smaller bar is 20k and the larger 18k. *side note* There is another one selling platinum nuggets with no provenance. :argh:

    Gold Bars on marketplace in Bathurst.

    That 23g bar would be closer to 100g if it was smelted alluvial gold, let alone the colour. Hes apparently getting it tested for purity ;)

    Gold Bars on marketplace in Bathurst.

    Found some soap dodger trying to pass these off as bars melted down from alluvial gold fines. A bit like the eBay bloke a few years back we cornered. Melting down dollar coins. Hes going for make an offer Its certainly not gold, colour way off and the weight.. :fistpump: :awful:

    Trying to find Alluvial gold in NSW for a hand crafted wedding ring

    "it seems theirs absolutely no gold left in the state of NSW" You had me worried for a sec, so I went and checked. All good :Y: Good luck with the ring, I'm in the process of making one too with a nice sapphire from GG that I sent off to be faceted.

    Whinge of the day thread...

    Gday all, kinda only lurk on here these days but I had to vent, my whinge of the day. Im in isolation due to close contact so got plenty of free time it seems. I just watched a YouTube prospector openly admit to using an excavator to move paydirt and feed a highbanker (in NSW) Also openly...

    Doge coin.

    Im glad I dumped early yesterday morning, I guess it could have gone either way with Musk but its a hustle was all it needed. Uncapped crypto is truely dodgy. :awful: I just seen Dam It got out too which is fortunate. I made around 5k :gemstone:
