pretty much all in national parks i'd reckon. i was thinking of checking out north johnstone river coz it drains all that area. also harvey ck has apparently had gold in it over the years, and nice for a little swim too

as a newbie to the site it is a little difficult to get 10 relevant posts up before the site opens up. you's probably noticed that i resorted to shltposting to get a link to appear. maybe this contributes to keeping the guests, guests?

I rang the DNRME people today and they have said that World Heritage Area falls under the High Preservation Area in the fossicking rules for queenslanders. I guess it pays to turn that filter on if you are using the minesonline program. greenwanderer, on mines online the valley has national...

that's awesome dasha, nice work

Yeah I'd read that. Is that the exhaustive list though? Might have to ask a mines agent on Monday.

the bonzle map doesn't show the world heritage zone...the zone pretty much covers the valley between the national park boundaries. here's a pic the diagonal yellow bars denote the heritage zone I was up there yesterday and found the tiniest speck in my pan I have ever seen. Looks like I might...

Thanks for the welcomes everyone. I have been scouring the minesonline maps for likely spots to go and have a look and noticed a lot of the goldsborough valley is in world heritage area and I haven't been able to determine yet if it legal to fossick in these spots. ANyone know for sure either...

I bought a second hand gold monster a while back and have been having issues getting the battery to charge. Started looking at replacement batteries and when I saw they were $165 ish decided to do a bit more research. When the battery is on the 240v charger only a red light is shown on the...

not much around Cairns itself that isn't in a national park or conservation area. Further afield (1-4 hours drive) the options open up a bit (apparently)

I've noticed from youtube vids that there's lots of terms for the sizes of the pieces found in the pan, pickers, 100's, 200's, specks and so on. could you make a list of common ones ?

today i bought a slightly used minelab gold monster and a garrett pan set. and a fossiking licence. the breakeven point has moved a fair way off in the distance now

thanks Doug, i was wondering if they still met somewhere after seeing the miners den closed
