Hi Mbasko, I live in a different state, but am aware of NAPFA through posts I've read on PA, I in part wrote my post hoping someone like yourself would mention them as I didn't feel it my place to tell New South Welshmen and Welshwomen how to suck eggs. It does sounds like a good project for any...

Hi Goody, Just adding to the mention that a lot of the gold bearing creeks around Coffs Harbour are within State Forests which require a permit. The other thing that has become very noticeable recently are the very large areas of State Forests in northern NSW that have had Exploration Leases...

Hi Crazyjestor, I don't think you are going to get any response from Bushranger. The post is 8 years old from 2013 and the author's last visit to this forum was 7 years ago in 2014.

Hi Travis, This post is almost a year old and Brucky1972 wrote 2 posts in his 24 hour career on this forum. He joined 13th October 2019 and last logged in on 14th October 2019 so I doubt you'll get any response from him.

Thanks for that. I have a brother who may be interested in the whole package, but he is in northern NSW so logistics may become an issue. I will let him know about it.

Hi OldGt, How old is the 2300? You didn't mention any remaining warranty? Cheers, Graham

Well done for following this through with them, so happy they have sorted it out in such a positive way. Some good news. :D :D :Y: I was surprised when I saw your initial start to this thread as I recently contacted Crown Lands myself and had a completely pleasant experience. Firstly spoke to...

It is not any sort of secret BigDog and Shep. there is a guy who has a mining lease within Blair Athol State Forest in the Birimgan East GPA section and he runs a business by allowing prospectors to camp and detect on his lease. The contact name is Wolf and his phone number is advertised in...

There are lots of strange things that happen in Qld. Camping being banned in virtually all State Forests is just one of those things. Inability to fossick in all State Forests as per most other states is another.

Hi MH, Standard box comes with a set of headphones as HH says and they are the headphones which fit the special waterproof jack connection. Several sets of batteries is a good idea, we run with 3 sets which get rotated each day while in the field, one set charged, one in the machine for that...

If you read Australian Gold Gem and Treasure, February 2020 edition, page 27 you'll see that they have been accused of being at scams such as this for over 100 years. There's an article in the mag dated 25th August 1911 that talks about The Celestials faking small granular gold using gold dipped...

Hi Josh, This is a great looking haul. Do you mean you spotted all of these purely by sight and then tweezered them out? Well Done!! Did you get your decimal point in the wrong place too far to the right? It looks like a lot more than 1.1 grams in total. Cheers, Graham

Under Qld law the person holding the grazing lease on a state forest has the right to choose to exclude fossicking from that state forest. The grazier did just that in 2018 and now we can't fossick in that entie GPA.

Ok thanks I have sent you a private message.
