Would you consider a swap and cash $2,000 and a VLF machine? I have a whites GMT.

The standard machine is very good for beach hunting. Dial the timing hi otherwise I find my self digging way to many bobby pins... (eh vain of my existence) Look for the shape with the sound most coins have a round halo and you can almost pin point them by moving around the signal and slowly...

It is a question of hydraulic equivalence (http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/278194/hydraulic-equivalence). To put it simply Your surface to weight ratio on different particle sizes make them the same and they wash down the table. You going to have to collect what is blown of the end and...

This has got to be one of the most sensible posts going around. Mind you I have a rule I only share the stuff I have found or done the reasearch on never anything given to me I think its only fair. Kind of like copy right if you will.

Hi guys, I finally found my first nugget.... it took 2 years admittedly about 20 trips to find it but It was the 3rd time I had gone out with one of the other members on the forum. I have had my TDI 2 months been out 5 times with no success. I was able to get on to a guy who modifies the TDI...

Cheers guys great response. It's a few weeks before I can get back out. But when I can ill take some photos and post it. I planning to go back with a couple of sieves and my mini recycling high banker and run some tests. I have a feeling most of the .01 and lower as the GMT and the tdi with 6...

Cheers mate. Looks like I have some work ahead of me. Mind you its not going to be to much of a stretch to picture that. Apart from being hot. Water is still expensive, I can't cook, you need to make a living, the wife/girlfriend nags. Booze ain't what it used to be. Everyone tries to swindle a...

That's exactly what I am wondering. I would estimate they only got about a 3rd of the ground covered I know they pulled out 800 ounces in what they did cover according to records I have found. Don't know how accurate that is but potentially at 1600 ounces on the site even I got get 1/100 of that...

Cheers loamer. The quartz ranges from 5c piece size to 10c for a majority of it upto 20c on some mullocks heaps. There is about 150 mine shafts on the the site. Loamer I am wondering did the old guys hit the bed rock then go sideways or hit rock and start again 10 feet away. From the surface...

Red and yellow with a lot of water worn quartz. I am wondering if it is worth crushing the quartz but my Tdi with 6 inch on small gold didn't pick up much. Thinking about running a couple of the mullocks through my high banker to have a look.

We have discovered some old shafts on a property that we were invited to detect. No luck but Research shows the old timers were digging down to the old ancient Creek bed and getting good gold. My question in between the shaft have they left material or is it not worth trying . We think there...

Hey zuke, Gave those settings a cracked absolutely spot on had a cracked at the beach. Couldn't believe it picked up nothing but gold coins. $8 in 30 mins then flicked it to the low and first up 10c bugger. Will post a pick up of the loot at a later date. Oh FYI if you get a tone that goes...

Had a look the other day at one of the creeks no water. But may have changed in the last week.

Nice colours buddy. Zircon??

Are they heavy? Are they getting to the bottom Centre of the sieve?

I use gemselect.Com and awesomegems.Com I am just wondering if anyone had any better sources for helping to value there collections that are free.

:( Yeah not driving that far!! lol..

How often are you looking at going out 49'er? I am keen as my fossicking partner cant seem to get weekends free. I am keen to learn from someone with quite a bit of experience to. In exchange for bit of heavy lifting.. I have been unsuccessful and uncertain if it is because of the area or being...

Good reads guys... keep them coming. My favourite story of mine was when we were camping down on the great ocean road. We decided to go for a night hike. To get to the trail you had to cross the river. The river is basically water tumbling over rocks about 1cm in depth at most. We set out across...
