Just got back from my first week away in far too long. Great time away, despite the very few specs of panned flour gold in the vial and zero nugs or speccies. After a bit of research I decided on trying a location, not hard to get to but not much visited by others I believe. First day was a...

Thought this was worth a PSA. The NSW Department of Planning and Environment have a customer survey on people's experiences dealing with the Crown Lands Division. It closes Monday 10th April. I know some folk have had great support getting temporary fossicking permits but I personally have had...

I have been looking through some heavy fines I brought home and panned these interesting pieces from them. They are all less than a millimeter across. The spheres are magnetic (magnetite or ilmenite maybe I really don't know). The crystals are pretty warn so shape is not that obvious but turning...

All, Just got back from my first and not last visit to Sunny Corner S.F. Okay the Goldmonster is still waiting to serve up an Au target but despite the really high creek levels and enthusiastic mozzies I managed to score a little colour and not just on the back of my neck but also in the pan...

Hi all, I thought I would give this enough time to play out and at this point I think it's worth a mention. Being a newb to the game and wanting to play by the rules, I followed due process in regards to my desire to swing over a few crown land lots. I firstly emailed NSW Crown Lands with my...

A last minute change of plans had me driving to Oallen instead of Mogo S.F. So a panning location instead. I knew the Goldmonster was good at detecting small targets but flour gold might be pushing it. That said I am a newbie in all things prospecting with a lot to learn and a detector yet to...

Finally managed to get out of Sydney for three whole days for my first ever run with the Gold Monster and it was not epic but it did teach me a lot about preparation. Mogo was the destination and having a two wheeler van kinda restricted options for base camp so my wife and I set up at Depot...

I will never be cashed up enough to buy a PI unit and am always wondering is there something a bit deeper. Buying a VLF Goldmonster was difficult enough but I was wondering if there may yet be another avenue to PI. I have seen a number of YouTube clips on self building a PI circuit. The easiest...

So I am trying to get my head around cans and can'ts for NSW. Please clarify or correct me. I assumed the low hanging fruit is State Forests where permitted. And there is the large fossicking zones where owner or leaseholder can give permission. I am not sure about road reserves, beaches in...

Hi folks, okay, okay, yes archetypal greybeard who has bought a van to turn into a camper, dusted off the gold pans, watched loads of youtube clips, realised that a pulse induction unit was always going to be out of reach as were the big nuggets ha ha. So I just splashed out on a new Goldmonster...
