    Internet coverage out bush

    My returns forms I do when I’m at home, obviously after the trip or after the permit expires. my 40e gets sent to Leonora post office and I send it off while I’m there in civilization well before I’m out of range. The paperwork is so simple why does it stress you out?

    Whinge of the day thread...

    Agree with mbasko, thats as silly and as thoughtless as throwing a bucket of blood on the poor kid stacking the meat cabinet because you’re a vegan. Seriously though, did you do it and if so how did it go or were you all talk? My son is one of those poor kids working his butt off at woolies...

    Tibooburra Gold.....a beginners "El Dorado."

    Not much weight in a fly net so it shouldn’t push your luggage allowance over the limit. You could even wear it on the plane if it doesn’t fit in your carry on so I’d bring it even if you don’t end up needing it.

    Selling gold - how, why, where

    Commercial gold buyer yes, private sales are different. He’s selling nuggets not bullion. I sell 99% of my gold to private buyers and usually $95+ per gram. Even many commercial buyers will give you a premium for larger or jewellery suitable pieces.

    Cost. More than just a PL with a POW, you’re talking small scale mining on an ML Finding the right ground not already covered by an ML would be a trick. Most quartz reefs are barren.

    Questions about prices and certain functions

    Price - years of R&D, tooling, field testing, training, marketing, shipping and on and on and on to what is relatively a limited market, sometimes I wonder why they don’t cost more. After all they can pay for themselves reasonably quickly with the price of gold at the moment. Sound Vs Audio -...

    How good are our fancy new metal detectors?

    what this shows me is that 100 different people all running the same coils will have 150 different experiences and 200 different opinions. Different machines, different technique, different ground conditions, different weather conditions and different days. Obviously what works for one may not...

    Hotrocks and the GPX6000

    Have areas like that too Phil and you can predict which rocks will signal before you pass the coil over them. No amount of ground balancing helps. I stick with it because I know there is good gold there and just dig everything that doesn’t move with a boot scrape.

    Dolly Pots

    They look very well made Dave! Just throwing it out there and this is not a criticism at all just something I like in a dolly pot as I have two and one is almost identical but not as pretty. I usually use mine while sitting in a chair with the pot between my feet. The other one which I prefer...

    Second medical advice advisable.

    When I had my rectal exam I wasn’t confident in his diagnosis so I asked for a second opinion. He used a different finger and the diagnosis was the same. I should have trusted him the first time.
