Hi All My mate just back from a trip out bush and found a nice piece of rock. Having only a quick photo and some description details from him. I did some research it appears that gem quality Topaz was and is found in the area he was near. It is clear, the yellow is more surface oxide. What I...

Hi fellow Prospectors I have a new gold for some of you to mine, at least those that may be interested? To start with this is all new and I apologize to the ones in the know if this is a little low on the radar for them. Sounds a bit too easy, but it is most definitely possible. What I am...

Hi All I have brought back some samples from our last expedition and was curious on the positive ID of it. This is only a small sample of what I have in various base rocks. It is very hard to get a good photo so hopefully the below will help for ID. Some details - Very, very metallic...

Hi All Went away for a couple of days last weekend to test a few things and get a break. It was not really a prospecting trip as we didn't even hire detectors. I just took my CTX3030 which didn't find any gold, did find a few bit and pieces but nothing of interest. Not sure it was set right to...

Hi All Just thought this may be of interest for some of you as well as a good primer for others who are considering doing something themselves. I have several ideas which I am working on, from businesses to inventions. Having not sold anything it will be interesting to see how they go if any...

Seems like the boys from the Gold squad have caught a couple of people who thought they could get away with prospecting on a lease they shouldn't have. They recovered $50K worth of gold and no doubt further charges now to be laid. Personally serves you right no different than breaking into a...

Hi All I have seen a lot of people asking about maps and where to go and other details. Likewise how to get the details needed for your trips and so on. Having spent many hours learning a lot of the tools associated with prospecting in WA I am offering a small service to deliver custom maps of...

Hi Fellow Prospectors I am starting to get the next lot of training courses organised for the upcoming cooler weather here in WA. With the small success of last years course and the learning I took away from it I have changed the formats a little to make it more in depth and specific. I have...

Howdy all It is with great excitement that I can confirm the minister for finance and leave has approved a small excursion away in a few months. With this I thought it may be a good idea to document (remind me) the process for some of you, this may be useful and for others you may laugh at my...

Hi All I have been wanting to write this for some time and now the time has finally come. A little history first, I have been employed constantly for the past 25 years in good positions that have had plenty of benefits, such as flying around the world business class, to places such as Sweden...

Hi Everyone I have had this idea for sometime now and like a lot of things unless you just do it, then you may as well call me Gunna Westaus :) I have cleared this by Harri, so thanks Mate for allowing me to give it a go ! At this stage I am looking for Expression of Interest from people who...

Howdy all, I have been given another leave pass by the ball and chain, who I must say has been so generous it is amazing. Anyway given that I have this pass I am researching away and it got me thinking. WA is a big place and there is a lot of land to travel to get to the good stuff (so I am...

Howdy all In the event of perhaps a silly question, I was curious what you mark any of your paper maps with and also how do you store them ? Why I ask is I am slowly acquiring a range of paper maps both Topo and Geo that I have for reference and general information. I do find that all of the...

Hey All Been a bit quite, mainly due to a computer deciding to chew a SSD on me. I am heading up to Kalgoorlie in a couple of weeks for a short work trip and I will have a bit of time here and there to do a bit of a swing around. I am not sure of the best areas to head given that it will be...

So as the title states, my best mate and myself are heading off for our longest prospect yet. I have somehow managed to secure Easter Sun - Sun week away OMG. While the missus is not overly happy, she has given the green light. It was a gradual process extending out the time and the days. So I...

Hi All Just curious to how many of you have read/referenced "Gold and Ghosts" in particular Vol 1&2 I was curious seeing they have been out for such a long time now. Is the information dated and not really relevant, or would you think any areas that have been shown now have been flogged to...

Howdy All I have a brand new, never been used Dune Queen size self inflating mattress. It is too big for what I wanted. I have unrolled it once, inflated and checked for leaks then re-vacuum sealed it. It comes complete with carry bag. Wanting $100 firm and I am happy to drop off Perth region...
