    Gold, Gem & Treasure (GG&T) Magazine to end subscription mail outs June 2023

    But they have our postal details. That info that Mbasko posted could have been sent to each subscriber with a refund application ....... not finding out until you ring to inquire is poor form I reckon. Rob.

    Gold, Gem & Treasure (GG&T) Magazine to end subscription mail outs June 2023

    My next edition of GG&T was overdue so I rang the number on the mag only to get a recorded message that the magazine would resume production next month but there would be no further mailed subscriptions...... only available through a news agency in future. Further, any out standing subscriptions...

    Today I COOKED.

    Test Sites

    There's one out behind the caravan park at Inglewood. Go down the track directly behind the park (Sullivan St I think) and turn left on the first or second track. It's pretty easy to find. It has four different weighted targets all buried at three or four different depths from memory and all...

    ⭐ Gold Detecting Show'n Tell

    Re the sugar gliders ...... although very small the males can be ferocious little buggers when it comes to territory or females in season. To have two dead together would make me suspect a fight to the death. Our cats would regularly bring them to our back door when I was a young tacker in the...

    Harness problems.

    Hi all, I'm on my third detector now, SDC, GPX4500 & now GPZ7000 and I've had a common problem with all three using the PRO swing harness. The J struts on all three harnesses pull apart after a few minutes use. I take the harness off & push the two pieces together as tightly as possible & then...

    Who else is scared (terrified) of dentists?

    As a young kid (5 or 6) I developed an abscess on the jaw from a crook tooth. I also share that dreaded phobia ....NEEDLES. The nearest dentist was a long trip away so mum & dad didn't really want to take me & I didn't want to go. Day after day of agony & crying myself to sleep at night from the...

    Missing Prospectors & Other Persons Victoria

    Surely police have a data base that they can search for all persons with a blue Nissan Patrol that also have a trailer registered &/or a shooters/game licence. Some body must know some body that has or had a blue Patrol at that time. Rob.
