Hi Guys, I moved back to the south eastern suburbs of melbourne after a few years in Bendigo. Well once you have lived in the goldfields you can't help but love the shiny. So was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of the general areas around gippsland to research to look for...

Hey all, I am about to venture out to Castlemaine and start doing some hunting around there. Are the creeks any good around there and if anyone has any good tips for me I would be very greatful. I swing an AT gold, so I will be panning and detecting. Is around the water wheel hit hard, does...

I now have an AT gold so im chasing gold on land and looking for creek gold and gems. Let me know if any...

Hi guys, I recently bought a Falcon MD20 on ebay for a really good price. I got it to do crevacing around Bendigo as I know of so many areas that are full of crevaces that contain gold. I was wondering if anyone has used this machine and how they went with it? I know the main cord on them is...

lol headsup

Golddigg cool tomorrow then heading straight back up there. i was planning a trip to elderado this weekend with my boy but at 38 and 36 It can wait for another week or so :) I just got a falcon md20 off ebay for $150 so i might just go do some crevacing at the whipstick instead :)

The problem is Marked is that 4x4ers, motorbikes go off the tracks and do damage too. yet we are banned and they still have free run. the problem is that people think prospecting is the same as mining. we dont dig 200 foot holes and leave a big mess, we wont shake it so i guess we just have to...

awesome guys thats great. glad to see you are all getting out and about :D I have a head injury so I get heatstroke at the drop of a hat so I gotta play smart :) GT as soon as its low 30s again instead of low 40s i will be there :)

its amazing that we live on one of the most productive gold areas in the world and can't access them. The big problem is people dont understand that modern day prospectors don't actually mine like the old timers. There isnt enough of us to force change, we our outnumbered to greenies by about...

Hey everyone, just wanted to touch base. this bloody weather is insane im dying not being able to get out, but its just not worth the heatstroke. anyone been out of late? :)

One thing to remember to is that gold can be in various quantities through the system. I know of creeks that have a little color but areas that a lead is exposed to it the gold is far more concentrated. Obvoisly the lead is feeding it. One thing I have noticed if u dont sample a creek from one...

Heres the Link. Its called Gem Hunt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxqfCIyQmwE its very addictive so dont blame me if you get hooked watching it :)

doesnt the star expose itself during the cut? I know they get cut more into a cabouchon than facited(buggered that word up).

Your buggered now Balx, once you get the gemstone bug it goes to another level mate. Im moving further from gold and going for gems now. Trying to find the ultimate river of a mix of both but not so far away as beechworth.
