Hi all, I'm after a Gold Rush Nugget Bucket to add to my arsenal. These look like they would be great to keep the kids occupied while I'm busy finding the next paystreak. Cheers

As the title says, does anyone know a good way to get some sleep? I get to sleep easy enough but anywhere after midnight its like someone has plugged me in to a power point and I'm wide awake. Doc has given me sleeping pills saying "one will knock you out for 6hrs +". Well they don't and I end...

I posted a little something in the 'Today I bought' section but I thought I would elaborate a little. The things we do and the lengths we go to to pursue a hobby can sometimes not make sense. A while ago Billy advertised is 4x4 for sale and I thought that looks like a great new bus for me but...

Missed an important appointment in Adelaide today due to my flight being delayed......so I ended up with a day off work.....no kids and what to do? It was too late in the day to go for a dig so when all else fails and I need to get rid of the stress.....I go for a ride! This was down near the...

G'day, Since my gold account is embarrasingly small and I seriously need to do something about it I have decided one toy needs to go so I can get another. I would like to swap my 1952 BSA D1 Bantam for a new or near enough new SDC2300. I am looking for a straight swap Anyone interested can...

Sitting here in 40degree heat today with nothing to do I was thinking of gold and realised I have not heard much on here about the Yackandandah goldfield. I lived in Wodonga for a few years and remember camping at Yack a couple of times and there were shafts and diggings all over the place. The...

I have been rebuilding a bike for a freind in my club and have a look at the sticker thats on the side cover.... the whole bike... Funny how many people are into prospecting and you find them when you least expect it, another club member has just bought a property north of ballarat....might...

G'day, On Monday myself and Kman decided to head over to Beaufort for a day out digging and scratching around to see what the old goldfield has to offer. We had spent the last week going over maps, Doug Stone and Geo vic and thanks to a bit more info offered by Golddigg@ we decided on a couple...

A short while ago a read in a copy of GG&T of one fellas finds with gold in the Western reaches of Victoria. The area he mentioned was north of Casterton and up to Balmoral with a few places in between. Being a lot closer to home than the more famous goldfields I naturally set out to try and...

Hi all, Today I picked a up a Doug Stone Beaufort map and my mind has gone into overdrive looking at all the possible places to have a dig at. Got me thinking that I have never heard of anyone on here doing much around this area and I wonder why, it looks like there are diggings all over the...

Here is a vid I managed to do today of my new rock crusher and the dry blower in action. I am pretty happy with the crusher result and the dry blower too but I gotta figure out which rocks have got more colour in it :p Enjoy!

After a recent prospecting trip I brought home a conglomerate type of rock that I picked up from an area where deep lead mining had taken place. I crushed the rock in my small dolly pot and was blown away to find a few nice little chunky bits of gold in it. I thought this was very interesting as...

Hi Guys, I have this video in the DIY section but thought I would put it up here too. Its my self built dry blower that I recently gave its maiden run at Ararat. I was pretty happy with the result and can't wait till the weather warms up so I can go to town with some dry dirt. Sorry about the...

Thought I would start a new topic for a bit of a laugh. You know you have Gold Fever when you walk past a downpipe pouring water on the ground and wish you had a bucket of paydirt and a sluice to put the water to use... Look forward to hearing of others gold feverisms :D Cheers,

Hi guys, Since I used a Dry Blower last summer over in Ararat I have been pretty keen to get my hands on one and go to town. The Keen 140 I used was a great little unit but on my limited budget there was no way I was going to be able to afford one any time soon so I put plans in place to start...

Hi all, An ad in the local paper this morning has a metal detector for sale so I ring the guy up and says its a Bounty Hunter Red Baron and is asking $350. I have never heard of this detector before and was thinking if it was worth getting as a first detector. So the question is are they any...

I built myself a mini sluice out of some scrap sheet aluminium at work but have been unable to test her out in the creek as there is bugger all water. So I set it up out the back of my shed and run it off the rain water tank. I fed my gravel through it which I had already panned just to see if...

Hi All, My names Matt from Mt. Gambier SA but originally from Brisbane. I am just getting into gold prospecting and I have the Fever bad!! The closest place to go fossicking to me is in Ararat, 2.5 hours away and have been there a couple of times and was stoked to see a little colour in my...
