During economic downturns and depressions like the 1890,s and 1930’s for example that was the ONLY work/income that was available for a lot of people. That’s my theory on why some worrkings in some goldfields are hard to make sense of…..they’re ares that have been worked, reworked and worked...

Could be…… but I’ve had sulphides- arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrite- scream at me from within a quartz seem before. Never fails to disappoint. Worth dollying it still, if you don’t see gold. There could be fine gold in there….

ATO-😳🥵

2 years back I phoned the ATO and simply asked them “ Do I have to pay tax on any gold I find as either a hobbiest or professional prospector?” To which she said “What’s a prospector?” So she put me through to the manager and he put me on hold….Even after that with a lack of confidence he said...

Gday all Ive been using a BlackWolf version for the last year......well priced but I wouldnt recommend it-at all! Uncomfortable straps, some parts are falling apart and the flap thats supposed to weather proof the top zip constantly jams up the zip. Also the aluminium frame on it interfered with...

Hey DD yep Ive been using those for about a year now- love em, really convenient. But I will say Ive had problems with the lead from the detector to the transmitter- only lasts about a month before its frayed and cutting in and out. So I by a bunch at a time, $6 each. Still Id recommend them to...

Pre fires at least a couple a day- mostly blacks. Post fires Ive seen two all summer, both large tigers. One I near stepped on- scared the life outa me, the other while I was sniping swam across the river only meters from me. Very capable swimmers.

Gday Kev, what area are you thinking?

Dam! Thats not how it was supposed to go... All the best with the recovery SP. Ps, still not paying for someone else to move my stuff :P

Hhhmmm yes interesting. Mans best friend unless your alone in the wilderness and 5 of them confront you! I prospect alone in some mountainous isolated places and personally Ive had a number of encounters with them. Ive had a large dingo looking dog get to within 8m and make some sort of bark...

For all those Step Brothers fans.... Brennan has a munjina

And I thought it was just me :8 ! Last one was $500 for a $50 part, lucky I phoned my usual mechanic for some advice. Oh thats just our supplier! I got from them. What a load of BS! So I try to stick to my proven mechanic - its a two week wait and some distance, but I know hes good, hes a...

Gday all Im really happy with the 19. It surprises me just how small a nuggs it will pick up! Love the amount of ground one can cover too. I would recommend the aftermarket skid plate, it has no holes in it so reduces the amount of sticks n rocks it gets hung up on. Your going to need your...

Gday all I use the black diamond Icon, been using them for years, on my second right now. Not totally perfect but the best I have seen and used. Gets a flogging and still going strong. As for interference- only if I get it super close to the detector, a Zed. I have no problem with standard...

Cheers Prospectors, and yes theres only one other fella that knows where that is, and hes pretty sure its empty :P . Saying that, I was having a conversation with a mate tonight about the one I walked past and he didnt :rolleyes:
