Hey AuSearch, you know, the regular stuff... picking a direction at high noon, flash flooding/being cut off, getting lost or even just having your ute pinched. it all makes for a bit of excitement.

I take a bag with my prospecting gear, no map (but study it intently before departure), no GPS, no phone, a knife of good quality and enough food and water for one day and generally wish for something to go wrong... and 1 pair of socks and a garbage bag/drybag. my way isn't for everyone but I...

Hi Guys, Does anyone know how waterproof this machine is and if it tolerates salt water?

Got another one: Sniping

We use 2 Copper soldering rods, Like Diggerdude we use it for (trying) to find services (Dial before you dig has about as much accuracy). When my excavator operator did it I thought he was having me on, as he said; 'it doesn't work for everyone and it's not guaranteed to find what your looking...

I started with a cake tin (low sides - large bottom surface), recently upgraded to a generic black 14" pan with basic riffles (Long sides - small bottom surface) and while I am still making adjustments to my technique I am going to agree with Wal about the "pan with a large bottom will out pan...

Hi Guys, sorry for the distraction. Back to the topic at hand, my former employer and friend lives on the murrumbidgee side of the monaro hwy and showed me just how much gold was in the river after flood, his land backs on to what he describes as the MAGIC bend of the river. I can't give away...

That is good news, to increase to $20mil, in ACT... not too bad, to extend to state forest without fair trading licence for non commercial use $$$$$, big bucks for my current insurer.

Today I bought a Cheese, Bacon and Steak pie with sauce... it was good. REALLY good.

Redmanti & Wal&Liz - Do you really need to take out public Liability insurance to $20mil? my liability insurance is only valid inside of ACT and is only $10mil... and I work on commercial & government projects or is this an N/A answer? Cheers.

@ DD: Wish you would reply my PM that quick! :o ;)

Puddling?

Welcome to the forum Berra gold, I to am a newby and looking for sites in and around Canberra. I'm launching a solo mission to Wee Jasper this coming Sunday if your interested (I only have half an idea and some basic gear). My vehicle is a bit of a hazard but there is a spot available in it...

Great post. Has anyone got an example of greenstone?

Thanks Nugget, you would be familiar with the saying "you get what you pay for". I just wanted to make sure that when paying for a basic model it was at the 'value' end of the spectrum. So far nobody has had any better recommendations for this price bracket, that's a good sign.

Ha, I too have children... hence the durability question. Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Guys and girls, Still doing some research at this point and am looking to hear some opinions/facts on the AT gold. Has anyone used one? did they like it? did it turn a result? Is the machine rubbish or does 'AT' really mean All Terrain? I have my doubts being one of the lower priced units...

Hi Guys, any word on the new date for the Canberra miners den seminar? Cheers.

Thank you, now I just need the state forest licence and I'll make a trip that way.

Hi guys, I've found a lot of places on-line and across Australia for prospecting supplies but is there any where near ACT where you can actually look, touch and feel before you buy? Not to mention be able to buy on the day. Cheers.
