Hi Guys and Girls, I'm heading up towards Dunnolly tomorrow for a couple of weeks camping, panning and detecting and was wondering what showgrounds are in that or surrounding area's that I can set up camp at. I know that they are cheap compared to caravan parks and often have showers so was...

Ok, I have decided to sell my little boat and trailer, though I will sell separately. The trailer has about 9 months NSW rego on it and was built in 2012. It will take up to a 14 foot plus boat by simply sliding the winch bar forward. The light board is detachable for loading and unloading. The...

wait till winter and sort out the black berries with a few gallons of diesel and a match :) then the creek will be plenty accessible :) lol Greg.

Though I have done cabs and free style faceting, I specialise in ceremonial stone knives when working stone or did when I had all my gear. Sold it all now so I can do the road trip. I figure if I want to do any cutting, there are enough lapidary clubs around Australia that I can go to, to do the...

You need to go to the council chambers and sign a waver against injuries whist there to be allowed to fossick, fair enough too. Apart from that any weekday is good. I've been out there a few times and its easy to find Peridot, not so easy to find cutters. Wal, would you suggest smashing every...

Welcome Jim & Kerrie, nice to hear your finding some yella. Maybe you can ost some pics for us all to drool over, some time. Greg.

Yeah mate, Welcome Adam. May the gods of prosperity and luck shine ever brightly on your detecting forays :) Greg.

Looks like the other guys have said it all so I'm just gonna say welcome to the forum from a newbie. I'm not sure if I got the bug any more than any other bug I get into. Maybe that will change when I finally find some gold but for now it is just a new way of spending time in the bush and having...

Welcome Daz, new here myself but that doesn't matter. Hope you find loads of interesting info in these pages and in time, get to swap stories with me about all our great finds. :-) Greg.

Thanks, will be really useful as I am still using the VLF detector. :)

It gives me hope that even with my lack of knowledge on what I'm doing, there is a chance I can win gold while panning. I mean I would have to be crazy to miss one that big lol :)

Keep a eye out up that way for Australian Amber too. Apparently it is on a beach up in the cape from a now extinct cowrie pine forest that was off the mainland somewhere. http:// wwwdotaustralian-amberdotcomdotau/ Have to do it this way as I haven't got enough posts up yet to post a link. if you...

Ok so I'm new to all this and need a explanation. What is it supposed to do and why?

I have to make a crusher for powdering some rock. I was told that I have to do the weld on the inside so the gold doesn't get caught. Not sure what I'll use as a weight either yet as the whole thing has to be portable as I am traveling and then I also have to design it so I can start it up and...
