    Who do you go to to verify you've actually got gold in your hands?

    Thanks for the education. I dried out the sand and I can't see any sparkly gold so it must be the fools gold or mica. I also checked out dredges as soon as I saw the shiny stuff in that sand bar. I came across Keene Engineering and there backpack model that you can hike in. That would be sweet...

    Hi there good people. I'm still in BC, Canada and I have been doing some prospecting and fitness at the same time. I came across what the you tube videos say try to find. I found this creek that flows down between two hills. There's a bedrock exposed sheet, which is bloody slippery when it's...

    Has anyone tried this trommel from the states?

    Thanks Hardyakka. I'm just learning at the moment about what machines do what. It's good to know that somebody in Australia is making equipment like the trommel you've made.

    Hello from BC, Canada!

    Here's the other link I know of for professional prospecting trommels. I was staring at their 159V model and wondering if I could have it shipped to Australia. What do you guys think? Would customs allow it into the country?

    Hello from BC, Canada!

    Nice Artwork Jaros. I like yours too Headsup. I need to make one. That would suck if abott let that happen in regards to NSW and Victoria not allowing prospectors their ability to use trommels, sluices and vaccuums. What about Tasmania - can I operate my own trommel and sleuce down there...

    Hello from BC, Canada!

    Hi everybody! I just finished a year working in Western Australia and now I am back at home in BC for 'MY' summer. I've really caught the bug for gold and gem prospecting because of all these gold shows. I know Australia has heaps of gold, which has me asking the question - why isn't anyone in...
