G'day, I race 5 of them just to ensure I retire poor. Got a good Cup story for you, A mate of my fathers had a lotto win some years back and having just retired and being reasonably well off, it wasn't a life changing win. His one pipe dream was to own a Cup runner and his wife ok'd him to...

G'day, At one point all the Chinese miners in the area packed up and left en masse, walking to a find on the Mann River, and old cocky up that way once told me. I've always meant to look into it further. Cheers Chimpy

G'day Mate's I fossick with that have too big a shed and too much spare time. This is the very definition of over-engineering. Has a counter rotating trommel made from a washing machine barrel and a beer keg. Sorts material into 3 sizes- big stuff off the red chute at the side, and medium +fine...

G'day Crampo was a member of another forum that started his own business maybe 2(?) years ago. Have not dealt with him but I've heard no complaints. Cheers Chimpy

Yeah, it's just a coincidence that Big Tone can pass the Privacy Act amendments he couldn't pass a few weeks ago, and that everybody is carrying on like scared rabbits :rolleyes:

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a...

G'day What's at the bottom of the money pit? Hopefully another TV show that's worth watching. This has to be one of the most boring things I've ever watched, each episode is ten minutes of these blokes effing about with no idea what they're doing and the other fifty minutes is padded with...

G'day We live like wild kings out bush and have sometimes found more gold than what is spent on food, beer and fuel (ordered by priority, of course ) but most trips, no. Pay streaks are soon worked out and then it's back to the drawing board. A lot of trips are exploratory and scouting. Some...

G'day I'm looking at getting one of these http://www.bushranger.com.au/hot_water_shower.php It's basically a heat exchanger tapped into the car's cooling system and saves taking any extra gear or adding any more weight. We previously used the Cube and it works great but don't want to cart the...

G'day No, mate. I'm a Mexican by birthrite but live and do most of my prospecting north of the border. That info is straight from my reference library. Seems that agates are the main finds down there Cheers Chimpy

G'day "After reaching the beach , turn left and walk about a mile to the fossicking area. Pick a low tide for the best chance of success. It may be necessary to probe and dig a little in the sand around the water's edge." May be the same book you have Cheers Chimpy

G'day Haven't weighed it but the pic is a bit decieving, it's nice and rough. I'm guesstimating 1/4oz. I'm just glad there's some h2o in the creeks finally. A mate at Gloucester was telling me the creek through his property still always had a trickle throughout the 10 year drought but has run...

G'day Finally some water in creeks so went and had a crack at a new spot. Not the biggest haul ever but not too shabby, put a smile on the dial :) 4 days worth of cons Cheers Chimpy

G'day Much the same as Loamer but no toothbrush (I'm lazy)- straight into the ultrasonic cleaner, into the mag-cleaner, then a final dip back in the ultrasonic Cheers Chimpy

G'day they're both well tried and popular areas but still give up a bit of gold if you put in the effort. Up river from Sofala are a couple of camping spots and patches of crown land but can be confussing as to what's legal or not the first time you visit. If you have the time try to get hold...

G'day A few bits from Floggers Patch Cheers Chimpy

G'day Places like Manheim auction statutory write-offs fairly frequently. Nothing wrong with the interiors and go for a song Cheers Chimpy

G'day The Mexicans may have built them but the Three Ring Circus that is the NSW government bought them. One born every minute :D Cheers Chimpy
