I pinged this from diggings on a private property in SA. I know it's old and appears to be copper. Can anyone tell me more about it?

http://golddetecting.forumotion.net/t26105-uk-s-largest-gold-nugget-found-pics?_branch_match_id=551971247010401823 My question is how can it be proven this nugget was found in the UK? Different mineral impurities than nuggets elsewhere in the world?

The other day I was mountain biking in a forest reserve adjacent to an alluvial goldfield in the adelaide hills when I noticed two rugged looking blokes digging up a rise of a dry creek. From a distance I couldn't tell what they were looking for because they were clearly making an effort to...

I'm looking for a small camper trailer I can tow with my Jimny for prospecting adventures and am still looking for ideas at the moment. It's very difficult to find something lightweight enough to tow unbraked (Under 200kg) and it'd be very helpful if anyone had any ideas or knows of a...

I have access to some farm land not too far from known goldfields here in sa and have had the gpx out for a few swings but it's pretty hopeless with the amount of trash on this property. If I'm hunting for a new patch in undetected ground would there be a good detector to use to discriminate the...

Thought I'd share my nugget from a trip out to Jupiter Creek today. Was a great day out swinging the GPX4500 with lots of targets coming out of the ground, mostly bullets. Came in at 1.5g and will make a good replacement tooth when I'm old :) Hope it's enough to get some more SA prospectors out...

Ok, so I blew 5 tyres while out bush in the WA goldfields. All of which were sidewall punctures and unrepairable. Some of the scrub out there is too dense to avoid brushing up against when going off the track in search of new ground and quite frankly I don't have the funds to keep replacing...

Yeah, it's been hammering down out my way in the WA goldfields and as I sat in my van 10k's out from the nearest road, enjoying watching the creeks flood that I'd been earlier been detecting I soon discovered that my rocky high ground base camp was a bit of an island. Needless to say that red...

So there's a week of thunderstorms forecast here in WA and I must say I've been caught up in my fair share in the last 6 months. Just wondering what you guys do when the lightening comes in. Camp out bush and wait it out or head in to town until it blows over. Personally, I'll be sitting out...

It's my first trip prospecting in WA and today was my first day swinging the 4500. I was absolutely blown away to find a 2.5g nugget in around 2 hours of detecting. No GPZ 7000 required for this one. Aldi detector or keen eye sight would have found it all the same but that's half of what made it...

Noticed some shallow diggings spread out along the Eyre Highway between Fowlers and Ceduna and got me scratching my head. I figure I'm not the only one who drives the Eyre highway to WA and maybe someone else has taken notice?

Not a lost and found section but just fun to see if anyone else has left things behind unintentionally while out in the field and I'm not talking toilet paper and chocolate nuggets. Personally I'm down my second pick. First one was lost while bush bashing through dense scrub on the way to a...

Just got into town and was thinking to try a bit of detecting to break up the drive over to tennant creek. From what I've read it's not a red hot area for gold with most coming from copper ores. Some alluvial gold in the fisher creek area apparently. Anyone have luck picking up some yellow out...

My paltry 420w of solar panels on the roof of my 4x4 is bringing the goods. That is ice cold beers all day every day :D :D Remember last time I went on a big adventure (2007) I'd never have been able to keep my detector,fridge,computer etc etc going this long for FREE.

Been here a couple days now detecting and have been detecting around diggings at a number of gullies in kingower state forest but am dumbfounded as to the lack of other detectorists. Coming from SA and being used to running into folks at jupiter creek/ chapel hill, I expected the golden triangle...

288MB download. Maps work well as google earth overlay though a bit tedious to get lined up. Enjoy. http://dpistore.efirst.com.au/product.asp?pID=129&cID=16&c=24818

That is the only newly available 4x4 with old school or as I call it "built tough" technology is getting the axe for 2015. Ofcourse I'm talking about the peewee weight Suzuki Jimny. No I don't own one but have wanted one ever since I drove a hire Jimny on a fraser island trip and ran circles...

Or do they pose a risk of TB and other diseases. I've been told wild pigs are a no go due to them carrying TB. There's plenty of feral goats in the outback and I'd been thinking to snag one for dinner and store the rest in the deep freeze but unsure on the legality of the matter regards hunting...
