What are you using, chopsticks?

Aussie Gold Hunters is interesting as always. Kind of strange though that three of the prospectors have massive weight problems considering they're doing hard physical work out in the heat. My advice would be to get themselves in shape before they drop dead of a massive coronary - gold is of no...

A good show but too complicated - just put Lindsay in a tiny bikini, give her a detector and follow her around. Ratings gold! :)

Great show Diana! Personally I prefer to see more of the metal detectors being used, as few of us can hope or expect to get out there with the heavy machinery. Also as you showed, they're much more mobile and can quickly jump around from location to location, which also makes for better viewing...

Re this rushing to get gold before the end of the season thing - is that really the case in WA? I'd heard somewhere that in the summer months they just start early and finish before midday. Of course they could also just mosey on over to the GT :)

Great show Diana! If a second series would it be in WA again? I reckon the scenery in Victoria is better, but might be harder to find the big nuggets :)

Speaking of GPS, can anyone recommend a good hand held one?

Hah, no such critter as a drop bear. Obviously a bunyip :)

Damn some of those gold books are expensive. I just go to the Vic State Library and read 'em all for free :)

How do you guys carry your stuff then - the pick thru your belt and the rake over your shoulder?

Also the first gold show I've seen where they use detectors - and having excellent results with them too. Shows you don't need huge expensive machinery to be successful.

SPOILER ALERT! ************************************************** ************************************************** One team melted down a five ounce nugget because they needed the cash - any ideas what sort of price a nugget like that might fetch if auctioned?

Episode 8 now out and about...

In the roof? I'd make sure it's legit before trying to pass it. "2 possums chasing each other in the roof ..... on their period or so ....who knows....i`m not a vet ....." Yes obviously not a vet or you'd know what animals like to do in the springtime :) p.s. - no 'W' in manhole.
