G'Day. I am geologist that has worked in both tin and gold exploration and mining. So will give it a go. If you are talking about an alluvial deposit that has developed from material eroding from multiple sources then yes there can be a direct relationship as both gold and cassiterite are heavy...

I use an ordinary shovel and lift slowly. works well. Any little bits that may fall off I get with a yabbie pump when finishing that spot.

Actually 1 oz of gold is 31.1034768g. Precious metal grades are in Ounces Troy

Don't know where you blokes were prospecting but up in NE Vic we will always stop and say G'day to any prospector and chew the fat. Never had any bad reaction and offers of a cuppa almost always.

As a mining person I would suggest that is NOT an adit but a stope to surface. There is likely a Winze in there capped with now rotten wood and soil. Been there, done that - not safe. Araluen

The only place nearby for nuggets of any detectable size is Mongarlowe. That said, good luck getting onto any land. The natives are definitely not friendly. Araluen

is that mitre 5 or should it be mitre 10?

Hi Eva If you come to NE Vic drop me a line. Happy to show you around.

G'Day all first up, I have been a company explorer, a FIFO and a DIDO mine worker. Any mine in the North East will be residential or DIDO as are all Vic and NSW mines in the east. All contracts for non specialist workers and haulage and carting etc will almost certainly go to local or regional...

Yes and thanks to all of you for a really nice day. Didn't get a lot of gold but that is not what I came along for. Good company in the shade on a nice bit of creek. Araluen

Sunday sounds good but I will need somewhere only a few meters from the water

G'Day Robbie I'm from Wodonga. Done a little around Chiltern as well as Eldorado, Beechworth.

They did fire them off at dusk but primarily to reload with dry power for the night. during daytime on the claim it was unlikely they would be raided but if the weather was damp or even humid the power could get damp and not fire when you may need it to deter raiders at night. Also many early...

good flow in Reedy at the moment.

G'day Bloke I am in Wodonga and have been prospecting about the place for several years now. Glad to help where I can. Research is always the best way to start. Watch Vo-Gus Prospecting on You Tube for a really good background. He has hundreds of videos and concentrates on how to do stuff to...

G'Day Buck I have run a 10 inch highbanker using a 2,000gph bilge pump and 38mm hose from Bunnings - the black flexible ridged stuff. Works very well. Invest in a deep cycle marine battery and a good charger

In South Africa we went through a phase where you could not order a Black or White coffee. You had to order one With Milk or Without Milk.

G'Day Dan Also in Wodonga. Drop me a line sometime.

You can pan or sluice, highbank anywhere anywhere along Reedy Creek BELOW the falls. You cannot do anything at the Falls. The Falls are in the Beechworth Historic Park and Reedy is mostly in the National Park and prospecting is allowed there. No dogs however. You can camp along Reedy but watch...

Hello Yevgeny I am happy to correspond. I have a friend, Sergei, not that far from you in Chelyabinsk. He is also a prospector and spent several months in Australia. When you get enough posts send me a Direct Message. Steve
