Hi guys. I'm in the process of building a chain mill (tight budget) to fine crush quartz rock for gold. The drum will be hexagon shaped, 150mm wide and an inside diameter of 320mm. It will be driven by a 4stroke 6.5hp petrol motor with pulleys and belt. The chains inside will have hard-faced...

I found a Chinese coin once and on another day found an old Chinese button. A good mate of mine found an old .303 Lee Enfield in dry river bed once. Lucky xxxxxx.

Results from my first ever time panning expedition:

Good day everyone I just got my first metal detector, SDC2300 (thank you mr tax man) and so far all I've done is trying to read up on as much information as I can before going out for a swing. I also bought a pan, sieve and got some crevice tools together. Needless to say the gold-fever is...
