I was thinking more along the lines of a small 12v system for covering depth up to 4-5m There are a few systems on the net where people have used the PVC floating ring as the air reservoir.

Hey just wondering if there is anyone out the that uses a hookah diving type device for sniping.

The feeling of finding a nice nugget sniping is far better than panning it I reckon. It's and excellent way to sample a river for gold bearing areas Tools I use are: Screwdriver flat head Snuffer bottle with some big sinkers in it Hammer and chisel Picking tool/O ring tool Small hand rake...

What state are you located? I've done a fair bit over NSW but finding rivers with enough flow is hard sometimes. In low flow and low visibility waters stick to shallow, less than 50cm water that's flowing over bedrock. Sometimes I find gold on less than 10cm of water

Yep tweezer for bigger bigs and snuffer bottle for small. Look up gold sniping for more detail, by far my most enjoyable way to find gold but I love the water. I thought it would weight more but most of the bigger bits are not much thicker than paper.

A morning of sluicing for all the fines and blacks. Then donned the wetsuit and braved the water and glad I did. All the bigger pieces were beyond the range of past dredges and had the be picked out with tweezers. 1.1g

Just a heads up about 4500 detectors https://www.minelab.com/anzea/support/stop-counterfeits/stolen-gpx-4500-metal-detectors

I work for a company that's sells Minelab detector and I've definitely seen a gap in the Minelab range that should be filled by the vanquish.

A good day sniping.

Yeah requires a good 4wd with a lift kit to get through the washouts near the crossing. There are easier accessible gullies around the same area with gold. There are a lot of tracks not on the maps

Learned to prospect while living in newy and I found nundle to be the closest place to get gold. Not much in the Hunter valley unfortunately

I havent seen any gates in the time I've been out there

Thanks mate ill give it a go, I've mainly be upstream from that point on the towallum

Gday Ive been doing a bit of scratching around coffs and im try to find specifically where clay gully is. Ive been along clay gully road to where it crosses the towallum river which ive sampled with poor result. Pm me with any info youd like to share if you dont want it seen by the public.

Spent three days testing my new rocker box and im quite happy with the results.

Spent two days testing my new 12in sluice, nearly paid for itself. Is good to see some water flow.

Ive been looking at the river heights here but i dont know how much water is actually flowing. http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDN60145.html

Hi Im looking at heading to nundle this wednesday to run my new 12in sluice and im just wondering if anyone can give me an update on the river status after the recent rains. Also anyone is welcome to join me, ill be there till saturday and i have a spare 6in sluice that someone can use. Cheers

Just pump into a bucket mate, ideally a wide bucket about 250mm high so you do have to lift the pump as high. Use the pump with no attachments first to get the bulk of the material out then put on a reducer to clean the tight spots. I also use the mini cell sluice and i only classify to 12mm...

Yeah there is also a hanging rock in the blue mountains, I've climbed it. The closest thing i can find that resembles it is botryoidal chalcedony. Correct me if im wrong but shouldn't chrysoprase be greenish. Photos may show colour but irl it is white
