    Am i looking in the right places?

    I keep trying to google the golden triangle but I'm not sure if this is the right place. Did they really find all that gold here?! :playful:

    Cleaning & Cutting Quartz

    Thanks for the feedback guys. It's been soaking in straight deck solution and have just been hitting it with the wire brush every so often and it seems to be cleaning up quite well. Might just skip trying to cut it now, I don't have the tools and it definitely sounds as though the dust is...

    Am i looking in the right places?

    I will second this. Having spent training day with him as a total beginner (literally second time using a detector) I learned a lot, being a 1 on 1 session he was able to tailor it to my skill level too. Definitely feel as though it has fast tracked my ability and saved wasting a lot of time...

    Cleaning & Cutting Quartz

    Hi guys, Was just wondering if anyone could advise on how to clean up this piece of quartz crystal I found. I bought some deck cleaner which is 1-10% oxalic acid but not sure if that's ideal or not, would it be best to just throw it in the straight solution and soak it before scrubbing it...

    Nugget finder 12 Inch Mono evolution

    I'm planning on getting one this week as my first new coil for my 4500. I spent a long time reading through posts on here comparing various coils and decided I would go for the 12"NF and later on get the 15" later on, most the ground I'm in at the moment doesn't lend itself to a larger coil...

    Confused about sudden change in deposition layers in creek

    Thanks for much for so much great knowledge and taking the time to type it all up! I will definitely keep an eye out for some fossils next time I'm there and look in to Trentham for potentially more little sapphires. Goldie, are the large Zircon crystals accessible for public viewing? it would...

    Confused about sudden change in deposition layers in creek

    Thanks Goldierocks, that's really interesting that so much impact was had just from run off that it's been assigned it's own geological unit. So I can't really infer much from what I've found as it may simply just be a bunch of discharge from all the quarries and mines that are upstream from...

    Confused about sudden change in deposition layers in creek

    Thanks for the great info Sushi, it's answered a lot of questions and raised many more! So basically if I'm understanding correctly, all the stuff that I found has ended up there from the same thing, a flood event at some point in time, some of it has traveled further than the rest to get there...

    Confused about sudden change in deposition layers in creek

    Hi everyone, I'm new to prospecting trying to understand what's going on in a section of creek that I was working near Daylesford. I found a large section of exposed bed rock on the edge of the creek which ran back up in to the side of the gully, a smaller piece of it is jutted out in to the...

    Hey everyone, Bit about myself, only been in Victoria for a couple years and after coming across WalnLiz videos on youtube one day I quickly ended up down the prospecting rabbit hole. I've only been doing occasional alluvial prospecting with pan & sluice (Thanks Goldrat) for about 12-14 months...
