Mike, at least you used PayPal. I've been refunded through them when things have gone bum up. In fact I won't buy anything online unless I can use PayPal. Cheers mate. And yes, PayPal will cover.

Well I guess we can all point fingers, but I'm not going to do that because I would get banned.

Wow! What a collection. That must have taken a lot of swinging. How's your right arm, or left. I reckon mine would be aching.

G'day to all you Adventurers and Gold Seekers out there. This is a very interesting thread, and a vital reminder of the dangers we may face if we do not take care in calculating our weights. Like most of you, I have seen many car/ute/caravan/trailer combinations that give you goosebumps. As a...

Well, mineallmine, I gotta say your find are fantastic. If I could find half of that I'd be rapt. But mate, I have one serious problem - "Why do you have to eat"? If I was finding all that stuff in the short time you indicated, bugger eating, I'd keep going. Greedy bugger aren't I. :P

G'day all. I do quite a bit of buying online, both in Australia and from overseas. One thing I learned early on was to use PayPal for all purchases. If a vendor does not offer PayPal, especially overseas vendors, then I will not buy. PayPal has an excellent disputes system which I've had to use...

Redfin and Smokey Bandit. Yeah hear what you say about towing weights and not arguing. I know that my Hayman Reece towing gear is stamped 3.5 tn, but that of course doesn't mean that the truck should be pulling that weight. I was just making the point that this is the type of load I regularly...

I've got a 2001 petrol, 3.3 lt fuel injected. I can't speak highly enough of it. If I had to pick something I would say fuel consumption, but I work it hard with some big towing loads, like 3.5 tonnes, so yes it will use a bit of fuel. Have learned to turn the aircon off and that saves a...

Yep therein lies the answer. They are not perfect right-angle triangles. Put a ruler along the hypotenuse of the first "triangle" and it is not straight. The second triangle is nearly straight but not quite. The clue is really in the website name at the top - "Subliminalmessages.com". Your eyes...

Sorry but not sure the Mods would like my "shout out" to Harry. No love lost.

Yes it is dangerous STC, that's why I will no longer described the method. itsabb seems to have found out that it is not a method to muck around with. Those fumes are deadly, one mouthful and you are no more, or if you survive you will wish you hadn't. I've used Aqua Regia for a long time. I...

G'day Shep Yes you can use chemical processes but these can be very dangerous if you are not well versed in the methodology and the safety precautions required. Cost wise it would probably be effective. Looks like you currently have about 18K gold so it's possible. There are a couple of methods...

Goldchaser, apart from washing in some soapy water, I'd leave it alone.It is generally accepted that using harsh cleaners will destroy any value the coin may have. Looks a nice coin anyway so don't degrade it. Cheers

G'day Marauder, In the first pic, the two bottles on the right are champagne bottles. Suggest they are made of quite thick glass, especially the bottoms. Found many of these on my travels in northern outback South Australia. Actually found old homestead sites where there was no buildings left...

G'day Shep I have tax experience and suggest you need to get some good advice from a tax professional. I know you will cost you some dollars for the advice but in the long run I think it would be worth it. As others suggest, if it is your only source of income then you are a prospector not a...

Well Jaros, you might be the last connected but I will never be connected. Okay, I live in the bush here in Qld and for a landline, which I no longer have, you get old copper cable that gives up every now and then. One time they had so much trouble tracing the cable, they just laid in a bypass...

With Caltex and Shell already up to $1.779, it is amazing to see that the price of a barrel of oil has dropped about $2 overnight. How much more evidence do we need of gouging.

Typical gouging by the fuel companies. Even since the bombing in Saudi Arabia the price of a barrel of oil is still around $64US based on Singapore. The fluctuations have been minor. When will our elected government do something to stop this price cycling. Doesn't happen in any other industry...

Hey Gassman, If the new Toowoomba Range Crossing is open when you go, the that would be the easiest. Will cost you a couple of bucks, but you'd probably save that in fuel. The current Toowoomba Range Crossing is quite step and has a nasty pinch just before the top. Cunningham's is maybe a bit...

You're right Pagan, but XP is no longer supported.
