    Malara state forest NSW

    Did you get confirmation from Forrestry NSW on this?? I have tried to acess this Area 6 months ago and got only to the gates. I'm going in for a look this week, Just renewed my permit for a year if this area is open.

    Malara state forest NSW

    Check out groobernedjarrdine you tube video on this area about 4 months ago called exploring old mines, he explained this area and its history well. It's an area I just don't go to.

    Malara state forest NSW

    Out of bounds man, sorry to say. It has huge gates locking this entire area had a mining cyanide spill in the early 90's. Pretty sure it's under a environmental control and rehabilitation act the area reads as open state Forrest but I can assure you it's out of bounds.

    The whole LGA in this area in question is not a designated fossicking area it's not a fossicking area until you get closer to the Grafton Coffs area and further west out towards Bingara. From last time I did the overlays in that area there was no fossicking district in this area

    Drake, Tooloom, Tabulam Region NSW information and questions

    No worries man. I have tried out there with with no luck at all. It's the same deal with private property most is under mining exploration and requires owner permission and EPL holder permission to acess.

    Gpx 6000 compared to gpx 4500 depth on bigger nuggets

    The biggest mistake people make with the 6000 is running the sensitivity to high this will render deep targets impossible to hear. and not running in difficult helps alot too if the sensitivity is down low you can run normal. Was the best day of my life when I sold my 4500 and upgraded to the...

    Need some advice

    That is good to know I took extra caution handling just in case with chemical gloves I suppose even if it's lead you would not want to handle it to much. It looks like lead that has melted then picked up anything it touched and reformed on the ground

    Need some advice

    I noticed when I submerged the small piece in water I looked like it contained mercury not visible to the naked eye dry but submerged in water and in the light it resembled liquid veins of very bright liquid like substance. It's very brittle but some pieces just look like melted lead. The plates...
