    Home sampling finally started

    I hadn't even started putting anything through it, when it burnt me. switched it on to start and within seconds the grinder was too hot to hold. Crusher in my opinion is too heavy for grinder & forcing grinder to work far hard than it's designed use. It is the grinder getting too hot not the...

    Whats the Law on aboriginal artifacts

    I would say nothing, if you do it could be declared aboriginal trust & they could possibly claim rights to the land also. No offence to Aboriginals but in my opinion this country & every part of it is everyone's. It's like Ayers Rock now to most uluru, to me it's still Ayers Rock & Uluru is...

    Update on the New, Compact Crusher

    I read this and am amused by it. Firstly in a previous post I stated I would like to see more example of Rock Crushers, some said there is plenty available in Australia.

    Update on the New, Compact Crusher

    I hope you do well with this product. I also look forward to more info. I have viewed others with screen & outlet at the bottom which I believe to be better for 2 reasons. 1/ It seems much more efficient 2/ I also believe it would help keep the grinder cooler by allowing air to flow through...

    Great find archives!

    Paulmarr, I would much prefer the English, UK laws than the Australian laws if we find anything here we either keep it secret or lose it Government under heritage laws & can face fine just for removing it from ground where found. If found in UK yes they lose it to the crown but the finder &...
