    Nice work Zippo, were you working from plans of some sort or was it all from your head based on knowledge gathered during your gold prospecting days?

    Wow very impressive 20x! Stuff of dreams your running there! This is my recent camp trip take (1.3g) to an 'ol faithful spot. A lot of ground moved for this. The spot is slowly petering out. It use to be average of 1.4g a day. Oh well time to get back to prospecting and look for a new spot I think.๐Ÿ˜

    Do big Nuggets travel further from the source than small nuggets

    Great post Hawkear, totally agree. On another similar line of thought regarding how gold settles in various locations; prospectors often think that in heavy puggy Clay bigger gold can get further into it, but I've repeatedly found that it's actually the fine gold that has a very spherical shape...

    Full on! Amazing stuff 20x. You could sell that stuff! ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ‘ Hell I'd love to come run some of that ground, can you imagine running ground that rich for like 6hrs like I would on a reguar creek day with a 12" Highbanker?! You'd have to be over 3grams easy!๐Ÿ˜ฏ

    Nice going 20x, sounds like a pretty casual panning session...although with the picker in the first pan I bet that got you going for a bit. ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ‘

    Starting in Lapidary

    Wow, love the DIY flat lap LoneWolf, what ingenuity. To get a lap of that size= $1000's!๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿค‘:eek: Your laughing hahaa.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘ Edit: I'm guessing your water system is a seperate unit you attach? Either way, love your work.

    A very big BANG in the WA outback!

    Wooo, that truck driver after decoupling the trailer must of stomped on it something fierce. So much so the article mentions nothing about him after he decoupled the trailer. ๐Ÿ˜†

    Wet Prospecting Shovels - information and questions

    Saw this thread and thought I might add a little something. I've been using for last 6 years or so the Bunning's sourced Trojan Plumbers shovel. I got to say it might be fairly inexpensive at something like $45 currently, but I believe it still comes with a lifetime warranty. I consider it the...

    Pumps

    Just a general tip, if you have 6" Dream Mat and want to run electric, 1100gph is only going to be sufficient if you screen to 1/8th". If you want to run more volume and get the mat working optimally you would do well to aim for 2000gph, this way you have some flexibility with hose length and a...

    Manual Chinese gold sluice box

    I don't know what to say, that's strange. Must be hunting for nuggets or reasonably sized gemstones? Seems seriously inefficient. Although in saying that labour costs are probably not a major issue.

    Whinge of the day thread...

    I'd prefer to keep out of this thread, but I feel compelled to speak. I'm a member I was a member of a Gold Prospecting group on Facebook. Last time out bush I went detecting and met a guy who I hadn't seen for a few years... turned out be the admin of the group, had a good chat and caught up...

    Hi guys

    Hi Luke, welcome to P.A buddy. No one interested in joining you eh...I get that feeling...dang near every speck (99.5%+) in my vials I dug myself. The thought is something of a consolatory prize and increases a sense of satisfaction. :) All the best with finding the shiny stuff.

    Thought I'd share a pic. Think it'll be my 1st in this thread, that I often snoop in. I've been on a good spot for about 2 to 3 months...been going straight there with every opportunity. Early starts and full days. These pics were from my seventh trip there. Been back twice since then...the...
