I’m saving up. The 2300 is on the wishlist. Thanks

I’m looking at the entry level options too, hoping to find a good second hand one I can afford. Is the gold monster is difficult to use where there’s a lot of ironstone? I liked that it’s easy to use but I have s lot of ironstone in the area. Is it better than the 2300? So at sea with the...

Thanks for replying to me. I copied a view list for min view from another post and finally started to find my way around that. Expecting I think I’ll be able to layer up google earth now. Never stop learning and exploring 😊

Is that a kimberlite pipe?

Thanks for that info and the diagram is excellent

I’m a novice too and trying to figure out which overlay you suggest to use on Google earth. Thanks

Thank you for replying. I might give it a go. I only wanted gps just incase I got lost but it’d be really useful to be able to save favourite spots

I’m looking for a cheap gps app and saw these bonus info apps. Do the app companies have access to your tracks and markers?

Hi Noelhi, I’m interested if it’s still available 🤞

Awesome thank you for this tip!

Thank you for your reply. I found it near Grafton below a rocky ridge. The surrounding area was basalt and sandstone. I left it there so can’t test it but definitely hard and jagged sticking out of conglomeration containing pieces of quartz and iron

Im astonished a tungsten mine was approved for exploration right next to a conservation area with current recreation use, historically and culturally significant and having 45 known endangered species. The loss and damage from the fires was horrific. This EL should be revoked. It places existing...

Thank you for that info. So, its still a publicly owned trail and we arent trespassing. Unfortunately weve had a bit of rain so will have to leave that area for another day. Flogging off exploration leases without consideration for existing use or the wider impacts is very disappointing.

Hi, Im on my very first fossicking trip around Torrington. A pair of complete novices with a map from the information centre and a ton of enthusiasm. Were confused by the private property signs on some tracks. Are people no longer allowed to pass through the conservation area?

I love your idea! Would be so helpful for us beginners.

Thank you for sharing this info. Going to search around MT Gibson and Innot Springs in July. Hoping the road is accessible by then.

Goldilocks, its not in a quartz vein but looks like lots of quarts bits in the piece of rock and theres rough quartz scattered around the area, not smooth. No mines nearby. Ill look for veins of quartz when I get back out there. Theres a steep incline so maybe it broke off and tumbled down the...

The coloured rock in the photo is about 2cmx3cm. I havent figured how to reply to individual posts or like them, but all such good info for me. Thank you. I found it on a low ridge on a faultline, on private property, northern nsw, so I only took a photo and left it there. Lots of quartz...

Apologies for barging in. I did write a hello all post expressing my deep appreciation for the knowledge and sharing on this forum that Ive been devouring, but I think it was lost in the posting process. Sorry. Im very green at fossicking, have a lifelong fascination of rocks, all of them, but...
