I keep my garrett in its holster on my belt at the back. I have never had an issue with it falling out

It is a good show. A shame it is only 4 episodes. You can download it via the 1337x website.

Great, we get to see the 2 guys act out their find hammed right up for ratings.... I can't wait for the new season to start though

Definitely plenty of spots to run a sluice

Gold Rush just isn't the same without him

I was back yesterday for another dig and did not do so well. Tried a new spot a little further up

I have been there a couple of times. Everyone had fires when I was there at Easter last year. Great campsite with huge diggings right beside the campsite

Haha it was all I had spare!

Yep, I was in the campsite closest to Kangaroo Crossing. There was dirty stagnant water further down but this spot was pretty good

Hi all, I went to Reedy Creek for the weekend. Plenty of water around for running pumps. The area near my camp looked like it had been dredged. Huge piles of tailings and stripped bare bedrock right along the bank. There was also a trail of destruction left by others digging huge holes...

There was quite a lot for sale at the expo. Many different brands of detectors, coils, all sorts of prospecting tools & gold recovery equipment, camping gear. I don't know why you would enter just for a detector charger

I did, and then took them out as they held material up too much causing the spray bar to be knocked by rocks. I think I either can run baffles or the breaker bars, but not both at the same time. I am currently experimenting with what works best inside the barrel

Thanks Jaros. It is currently running at 13.5rpm. It is a 2 speed motor so I will try it at 19.5rpm this weekend. My new pump had also better arrive by Thursday. I have planned an entire long weekend around washing rocks

A decent video this time: I have just ordered a 4700gph pump. The 3700gph pump I currently use isn't enough. It struggles to wash the rocks in the barrel and supply enough water for the dream mat to work as efficiently as it should https://youtu.be/6MOqI8hDpKc

Good to hear, might be worth a camping trip this weekend :)

How's the water looking there now? I would love to go for a dig over Easter weekend up that way

I am sure it is a waste of time, it is just a local place to take the kids for a bit of fun for an arvo outing. I guess I won't be setting up any equipment there!

Hi all, I was curious as the the legalities down at Andersons Creek in Warrandyte. A park ranger there told me only panning and river sluicing was allowed there, and that highbankers with water pumps were not allowed, even if they were fed by shovels and buckets. I was under the impression...

I have added some baffles inside the barrel to slow it down. I have also changed out the barrel to have twice as many holes. It was an expensive project but great fun

Thanks, I have done a fair bit of equipment design, mainly robotic work cells. Here is the latest video from last weekend: https://youtu.be/BYEoSgPuLZ8
