Just thought that I would let you know that the 4wd super centre has now opened up in Albert St, Sebastapol, Ballarat.

DWT Has been very quiet of late and I miss him, Maybe he's tucked away somewhere writing the next installment of "A play in the fields" or inventing or building another amazing gold recovery gizmo, or maybe he has struck it rich and he is chilling out for a while. I hope that it's only good...

Australia has had, and still has a very rich history of gold prospecting and mining in all of its diverse forms since the early 1850s. Whether you detect, pan, sluice, high bank, dry blow, crevice or use the Rockin Yobskin cradle :D , or hold a mining lease or work for one of the company mines...

Let me tell you about a story of a moron and a very sad man. It all began when a friend of mine and his wife came over to Ballarat to see his new grandson all the way from West Australia. As on other occasions when he visited, he brought his ATX Pro detector so that I could take him to one of...

Yes another lot of school holidays are coming up, so we should expect another amazing nugget find to be seen on the news in the next week or so. It didn't happen last holidays so I think it's about due to happen, after all the GT needs a bit of economic stimulation being such a cold winter. ;) ;) ;)

Many years ago on a job site I backed up a tandem trailer full of yellow tongue floor panels in a Hi-Ace van , it was a very heavy load and the boards were over hanging about 1 metre. So the boss tells me to hurry up and unhitch the trailer and get so e mre gear. I needed to unload some stuff...

As the heading suggests, who do you think has the most disturbing avatar? I'm just not very tech savy, though I've attempted to post some pics even after following the instructions, I just don't get it. I guess that's why I failed art in the use of crayons in primary school. But it doesn't stop...

well folks, Murphys law has hit the stoyve household with a vengeance. 1. Two weeks ago while coming back home from a job 100kms from home , the heads went on my work/play twin cab 4wd. Of course the temp gauge didn't do it's job so the 1st a new there was a problem was when the engine and...

Yesterday while showing some friends the inside of some adits in the GT, one of the kids found gold that was barely visible to the naked eye. How would you process such fine gold as it is literally like powder. Cheers Steve

Gday members, I've been wondering if anyone has heard or read from Joao on other forums or otherwise. I miss his enthusiasm in his posts and his kind nature. Cheers Steve

Hello everyone, as I'm yet to have found gold with my sd2000, I need some inspiration. What is the biggest nugget you have detected and what year was it found in. But 1st some ground rules. 1. It must be found by a detector. 2. How shallow or deep was it found in. 3. What detector was used...

I'll start off with some of mine. Blue heeled named Yobbo, I needed to be careful when I yelled out his name, a bloke thought I called him a Yobbo and wanted a fight. :o Bull terrier we got was named Eyebrow when we got her, because she had a brown mark over her eye and the rest of her was...

My thoughts and prayers go out to those people who were held hostage in the Lindt Cafe . To the 2 who were killed, to those who were injured and to all who were held against their will for 16 terrifying hours. My thoughts and prayers also go out to the families, friends and co-workers of those...

I have been a keen reader and participant of this forum for some time. It therefore worries and concerns me that some members have resorted to foul language and legal threats of late. We are a diverse bunch of people with different social and economic backgrounds who have a common interest that...
