G'day I've been using these for a few years, the yanks call them a 'mortar bucket' and they are hard to locate sometimes here in Oz. I use drop riffles and just slide my tray out while the pumps still running and clean out straight into one of these. 30 second job and you are back into it :D ...

G'day Ever wondered how the Leprechauns get the gold that goes in the crock? Wonder no more. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Micro-gold-sluice-box-mining-panning-compact-backpack-prospecting-instructions-/331121456029?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d1860739d Not sure how much dirt you could put...

G'day Highbanking at Tambaroora out of the only puddle available and my spray bar is blocking up with leeches getting through the pump. Dryest I've seen it for awhile Cheers Chimpy

G'day Decided to bite the bullet and go for a 5000, but I have to sell a couple of my toys to help fund it. Mrs Chimpy has spoken :| 1 x C-SCOPE CS4PI- less than 6 months old, as new in original box with all bits, batteries and coil cover. Deep punching PI beach-only machine. $400 plus...

G'day A mate wore through his coil cover in 2 weeks for this. Scrub the bejezus out of your coil and improve your tally. A small price to pay and makes a big difference. Swing low and slow, scro :) Cheers Chimpy

G'day Pulled this black burnt quartz off a reef. Haven't come across this before and looks like gold but no signal on the 5k ??? Mica and pyrite usually look different. Not the best pics but in places it has melted into droplets Cheers Chimpy

G'day Just did a 14 day trip to Tibooburra, 10 in the field and 4 days traveling. If you're planning on doing a trip and come through Broken Hill, DON'T do the last 330km leg after dark :o Holy snapping duck sh!7e! The ridiculously abundant wildlife is suicidal. Luckily my mates towing a van...

G'day Cheers Chimpy

G'day I just got these pics from my two mates who spent the day at Tambaroora using their 5k's for the first time. If these blokes can find gold on their first try anybody can :D Cheers Chimpy

G'day Show me some of your finest and not so fine efforts at making and inventing your own gear. I've seen some posts with really good ideas so here's a couple of creations my mates and I knocked up The 'Me Suckee' -off the shelf hardware shop The 'Stealthbanker' -drop riffle trays from US...

G'day Here's some marks I've put together for a trip I'm doing. They have DIGS references where they exist and once I'm done plottting it all I'll post it as a kmz file https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/doc/member-docs/555/1370875319_tibooburra_marks.final._pdf.pdf...

G'day Got an xterra last week with the idea the kids can have a swing and the 6yo has gone to bed every night since with a portable DVD player and the Minelab training cd. For the last few days I've been getting pearls of wisdom on ground balance settings, target discrimination etc... AND...

G'day Any of you fellow Hunter hunters been for a squiz out here? Geology of the Barrington Tops Plateau by Lin Sutherland and Ian Graham. p. 12 states " Along Dog Trap road, 4 km east of Stratford, rhyolites of ther Alum Mountain Volcanics contain quartz-lined geodes, some of which contain...

G'day Has anybody got or used this sort of thing? And are they any good? http://photojojo.com/m/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses Cheers Chimpy

G'day My cs4pi arrived this morning and I gave it a 30 min test drive. Idiot proof in its simplicity of operation. It doesn't discriminate but I don't mind digging every target, that's what I have kids for Cheers Chimpy

G'day New here but not new to the game. I mainly wet prospect and mostly on private land these days but do get out to a few of the NSW regular haunts. Cheers Chimpy
