I've heard about that old trick to keep others out, not very nice-had it happen once or twice myself.

Good morning all, Just a little heads up to those out there who seem to be overwhelmed with stupidity at times, there is a small permanent waterhole that used to be good enough to run a high banker as long as you were careful not to run your banker back into the hole, as in keep your tailings...

We have a major problem with it the area I dig, I was haunted by somebody or body's for ages every time I would start a dig came back next day or couple days area cleaned out. Got em once though started a dig where there was nothing in the wrong place & everything, they dug deep & I know they...

Had a problem with someone getting into my shed, booby trapped the door with a heavy crow bar, happened once more whoever it was wore it & funnily enough never happened again. :lol:

Welcome to your new addiction, good to see your straight into the panning, nothing worse than finding it then losing it cause you cant keep it in the pan good luck & hope you find more than you can carry. :)

welcome mate when your over In WA if you need tuition check this fella out. http://www.eurekaprospecting.com.au/ he's just got to WA I know he's got some stuff booked in but give him a bell & he'll look after you tell him joe put you onto him. :)

You could go old school copper & con him into going prospecting then accidently leave him with a bit of a wee walk to get home, worked real well when I was a kid ;)

Good tip on heat but heat should only ever be a last resort, another old trick is to get a drift & hit directly on the nut you can see in the middle of the impellor most times this will loosen up bolts & such enough to undo them.

A mate and myself came across an old abandoned mine west of gympie a while back the location on qld globe was out by about 400trs and would be quite easy to just walk straight into either of the shafts which have been abandoned. luckily for us we were taking our time trying to find this mine &...

Luckily for us there isn't much killing for gold going on, but up here there is a lot of jumping after the hard yacka has been done to get the overburden off spots. I talked with one fella who had spent all day with his mate opening up a section, went home then came back the next day & some...

I know a bloke who is heading over to West OZ he will be there in may & he is available for tuition on detectors, research packages & all sorts of stuff. Real good bloke & no bullshit with him, what you see is what you get. he is ex army semi retired sort of & this is what he does, I'm not...

Jemba great videos on pump maintenance, one other thing to use if you don't have a soft hammer is use a brass drift but it has to be brass so you don't damage the impellor. I rechecked the water rate on my 2" hidels pump & it is actually 8000gph- used 5 ltrs per gal not 4.5 for imp gals. ;)

j&p inferior quality, over priced & once bitten twice very shy. :(

look at the koshin motor & pump combo much cheaper. I have 2 sluices a gold fox lil monster & another bastardised & modified set up,I wont reveal the manufacturer because it was originally a crap set up & I don't want to give him any advertisement. I modified & changed out the mats for gold hog...

just look up koshin pumps they have what ever type of pump you could want, like I said in an earlier post look online for pump master you'll be surprised how much you can save, top quality pumps & motors not cheap Chinese knock offs.
