Congrats on the great finds mate. All the best on your future finds mate. Cheers

Thanks for the tips. I did expect classifying to be needed still... just hoped I could me even lazier with prospecting! Cheers

Hi all, Do you think I can yabby pump straight into my mini gold rat dream mat sluice? Or should I still be classifying it down? Never used a yabby pump so I'm not sure how big of rocks it will suck up?! And if it's not going to work well with such a small sluice. Cheers for any advice

Absolutely true about finding the body faster... Search and Rescue found my body, albeit a very groggy body, after being tagged by a brown snake on the hand climbing up a creek bank. I pressure bandaged it, set off my PLB, had a chopper over my head in about an hour, made it to hospital, spent...

Hi guys, I was at a spot a few weeks back to try some more creviving where I have previously found good amounts of fine gold. It was summer when I was there last and obviously the water was low. When I was there a few weeks back the water was over where I was was previously working. Not in...

Welcome to the forum Soosa, Stieglitz Historic park can only be panned in a small stretch in the township area. It's possible to scratch around get a few colors here and there but it has been hit very very hard. You cannot detect in the Stieglitz Historic Park though. Elaine area is nice and...

Welcome Cotso, The detector folded up in your bikes pack, and riding into the fields sounds bloody awesome!!! Enjoy it! cheers

Who knows what it might do to the value of traditional workmanship and skilled people, My partner just bought our friends new born baby a "Handmade woolen baby's blanket" for $180.00!, when she could have just got a blanket at K-mart for $6 and it still would have been covered in the same...

I get 750ml and 1000ml Chinese Takeaway food containers (new obviously, not from left overs) and freeze a solid block of filtered tap water over night. Then I pop the frozen blocks out and cryovac/Vac seal the blocks into bags of about 20cm - 30cm square. once sealed I let them completely...

Welcome Ben, When you have a bit of spare time, grab a drink and snack, sit back and use the Search function and read read and read. There is a lot of info in many threads. If you have 20 questions, you'll probably find the answer to 15 of them pretty quick! Sounds like you're putting in the...

""google is your friend"..... After some time on google I'm even more confused haha. In my change jar I found a random 20 cent "International Year of the Volunteers"coin and immediately got every bit of info on it with google. I really wasn't expecting that. In great condition there are people...

Thanks mate. Such a strange and hard to understand collecting hobby but I find it interesting. Certainly something I'll try and work out! Cheers

Hi guys, This has always interested me? What should I be looking for? Dates? Errors? What makes something worth more than face value???? Cheers :money: :beer: :money:

Thanks mate. Pretty sure that's who I got the details through. On their website. I'll try again tomorrow and also look to join up. I wasn't quite sure who they were. Thanks for the info. Cheers

Hi Guys, Does anyone have contact details for an active prospecting club in the Geelong region? I've tried a couple of numbers and emails I have found online over the last couple of weeks and haven't had any responses unfortunately. I don't know if the details are not current/updated or if the...

That is fantastic! Congrats on the find. I can only imagine the excitement!!! Cheers

Twas 0.14 grams. I wish my scales lied and they upped the weight and value, but they do not unfortunately. I'm reasonable with cameras, phone takes a decent photo also. Still had a great day out. The gold was a pleasant bonus. Cheers

Cool thanks for the response mate! Good to see others setups as that's one of my next steps to this addiction. Cheers

Ahhh ok I understand. probably took me just as long to get the sand and stuff out as it did getting it in the first place. I tend to be pretty anal with stuff like that! Thanks for the feedback
