So, according to this article, self driving cars are going to become widespread and change our entire way of life, be it how we commute to work, how we travel or how we buy houses. On one hand, it sounds sci-fi as hell, but on the other hand, I don't see it happening in your average Australian...

As someone who has done prospection in Northern France and Western Russia (near some famous vacation spots such as the Somme, the Chemin des Dames, Kursk and Volgograd, ex-Stalingrad), UXO stories are super common. And then we see the cultural differences : in France, if you stumble upon...

It's true that detecting is like traveling or sex... once you've tasted it, you can never get enough of it! Even if it's just a couple minutes there and there (even if it might be hard with traveling, though.)

Hi Dragon Man, Thanks for your welcome, and don't worry : I took a couple years to get something resembling a decent grasp of English, I spent most of my high school years understanding barely enough to play pirated video games! It does make its way through at some point, but learning needs...

Today, I bought plane tickets for a short holiday in October with my wife... It's not entirely unrelated to prospecting, since money for one of the tickets came from the sale of a golden coin from the early 18th century I found a couple weeks ago.

Wow, I'm quite amazed ; that's one hell of a great transformation of your finds, no matter whether they were found in the wild or at a garage sale!

What I love when reading prospection forums is to see what people from other countries dig up from the ground ; for example, in my homeland (Russia) and where my wife comes from (Northern France), we find pretty much the same things : German helmets, rusted rifles, and unexploded ordinance from...

I think that nobody in your family will ask why you spent so much money on prospecting kit anymore after that! It's great when you can use your hobby stuff in "real life", especially if you can help somebody in the process.

Nice finds! This place might well be the one I'll be going to on my trip to Australia this winter (well, summer for you guys) ; can you find "only" sapphire there, or gold and/or other things as well?

So, as a foreign citizen, can I buy a Miner's license, even if I'm just here for a short time? As far as I understand, I can't go panning without it, so I may well end up buying one. My goal in going prospecting isn't to become rich or anything, I'm just invited by my cousins and we want to do...

Hello everyone! I'm joining this forum even if I live quite far away because I've got relatives living in Australia and have been visiting them a couple of times already. Recently, they've invited me to go to the outback next time I come, in December or January, and to go prospecting if it's...
