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...

Well we tried out the Vibra Quatic 2 Pinpointers while camping at Coolendel. Spent two outings snorkelling with em. They are good to 100'. See what we found. Not gold, but as fisher people, we were pretty happy. Also took em with us with our metal detectors. Yes, they do interrupt the...

With all the help from this forum and Wals great design, Harro and I have now completed our first walbanker. I think Harro posted this pic today when he put up his first post. Thought I would also add it to this section. I gotta say, if it wasn't for Wal's vids and posts it wouldn't have...

Does anyone know much about Majors Creek - also Braidwood? We are going camping at Coolendel on the Shoalhaven River over Christmas and thought a day trip might be worthwhile?

Further to the excellent link from Charlie 123 - "Getting Gold" I've been checking out other reading material available by Johnson. The following link is to Melbourne Public Library "The Genesiology of Gold". I've had a quick gander (being my lunch break and all) and some excellent reading so...

Whilst recently camping at Hill End where there were no facilities, we set up 4 tent poles and placed a small tarp around both sides and the back. Sat a milk crate with the bottom cut out and an el cheapo toilet set strapped to the top over a freshly dug hole (sandy so that was helpful) and...
