Great ideas Ken and Ross, I've put these ideas direct into my 'tool box' ha ha - no stopping us :lol:

I've had to do the same with my batteries. Couldn't work out what the prob was - kept thinking there was a bad issue with the machine, but after using the tape, all was well again.

Hi, the test plugs turned up this morning so will get straight onto it. Thanks for the info on the thong/flip flop - that could come in handy down the track and yeah, we had been looking for the test plugs and at first thought we could only get them in the US for the size we were after, but...

Hi there, the test plugs turned up this morning - quick delivery - only ordered them on Thursday. Guess what we are doing today - making the mods ha ha. Thanks for sending the hard drive with the Gold Rush Alaska and Klondike Series. I hadn't been able to watch them as we travel too much, but...

As an alteration/mod to our hand crevicing pumps we have ordered 2 each x Cherne End-of-pipe Gripper Plugs 40mm from Seca @ $8.90 each. https://www.seca.com.au/cherne-pipe-plugs/cherne-gripper%C2%AE-plugs We've seen something similar on You Tube and they look to work a treat! Remove the top...

Hey, I don't know, Nanjim reckons thongs.....I've been trolling through posts for crevis pumps.....got to read heaps of excellent ideas, but could not find the post for "Japanese Steel Cap", can someone point me to the right posts? Can't believe how many top ideas people come up with.....you...

Excellent, will check it out and thanks.

Hi Barry. We used about 100 mil of black rubber pipe insulation at the end of the plunger, tied on using small cable ties. The plunger is DN20 and the outer is DN40 white PVC with caps and joiners to suit. We are looking to replace the black rubber with plumbers test plugs which look like they...

Hi Tassie Daz, I wanted to use a bend instead of the T but my fave shop Bunnings didn't have the right size so settled for the T. It works on the same principal. These are our first attempts. Harro's is based on Baz and Peters and we know these work. Happy hunting on Saturday if you get there...

Well you know we'll give it a good nudge!!! ?

Hey there Phantom, will try your suggestions, if they work as good as yours we'll be very happy

Will have a go at it for you when we get to Tuena around Anzac :)

Today Harro and I made a hand crevicing suction pump each. We used various sizes of pvc piping, joiners and caps. Mine is called the "bazooka" and has a section which retains the sucked up gravels etc. I included a wooden handle too. Harro's is a suck and pump only. Both have two attachments...

Well we finally got around to adding some pics from our trip to Tuena with Harro, Bazza2210, pjg100, Phantom and Bob. Excellent time had by all and nice colour too. Can you spot Phantom in his hidey hole (we think he was on his way to China)......

It was a 6 grammer. Most of the larger ones were with the GPX5000. Harro

thank you for the feedback....merry xmas

Hi all, we are off to WA early next year and are about to update our arsenal. Going to get the Sadie NF 8 x 6 for those river bed areas but need advice on the larger coil. Looking at the 16" spoked NF (considering the weight when using on a long day). Need the larger coil for depth. Any feedback...

Yep, there are both pro's and con's. Harro did it for over 12 years and I did it for just over 8 years. Our kids had all grown up by the time I started in the FIFO so it wasn't too bad. You do get used to the money but that is exactly why we have both been able to retire now. He's 63 this year...

All good mate, we went to the public access area Chaffey Dam side of the camping reserve, on the Peel. Crevice in places that had previously been worked. We have our rods so will hv a flick ;)

Well we r heading that way. Couple of places to stop at on the way. Want to go back to Tuena before Chrissy too. You might want to join us again, would be good to catch up again. You going to Oallen? Regards Harro
