Gold or no gold mate it was an excellent holiday. We'll get some next time mate!

Thanks Simmo for a thorough walkthrough and on your afternoon after working for the day to boot! Legendary effort mate. Simmo and his family invited myself and my better half along on their adventure to checkout part of the long closed-off Palmerville Station and have a look at country that's...

Yep this Sat as Doug mentioned, feel free to come along if you can. TGW.

Well that wasnt real smart now was it. "Insert headshake of disbelief emoji" I still remember my grandfathers stories of army drills riding in the amphibious army ducks from nobbys beach across to Stockton then being marched around the dunes and firing at dummies etc :argh:

Best advice would be to put 'crevice sucker' into the search bar on here and have a flick through the posts discussing this topic. There are many from diys to debates on rules etc. Rules state 'hand tools only, no machinery'. Also try to avoid the word 'dredge' in posts as they are most...

Yep, best bet if you still want to have a poke around in the mulgrave is to go downstream to the big causeway at fisheries crossing. Shouldn't have any issues having a pan there mate.

Gday incey, Unfortunately the Goldsborough is definitely National Park if not just under the edge of the WH area. Its hard with NP to know whats what as the borders aren't perfectly marked. Basically tho once you go across the last bridge your in the NP. As has been said there is a locked...

Gees thats a good bundle, just wish I had some spare coin right now. :o

Some good deals there but not a lot of sizes left. Cheers all the same Trash. :D

Yep, still gotta scrape the lay layer at least. Depends on where the clay has built up and whether it shows as holding colour as to how much effort/time to put it. Like gravel, clay that has had small rocks and gravel compressed into it is always worth a look. :D

Heres some pics of my hip pack, Has been pretty useful for all those little bits you need to carry. Hope you find something similar that works for you :cool: TGW

I use a little pouch similar to this that I grabbed from bcf a couple of years back. Unfortunately bcf no longer stock them but Ive seen similar ones at the army disposals. Mine has 3 pockets, front one has a buckle over it as well as a zip. Snuffer and plastic bottle of jet dry go in the back...

Cheers Greg, thanks for posting that up ? The new shop is located at the Showgrounds Shopping Center on Mulgrave Rd. Good to know that we have a place to get the bits we need again! TGW.

All good mate, too true! Unfortunately ill probably miss that. Too many people at work taking holidays and whatnot over june/july. :rolleyes:

Nice project there Rick, be good to see it chew through some dirt! Let me know if you decide to take it out for a test, happy to tag along and lend a pair of hands and a younger back for shovelling mate. I'll even bring my own shovel ??

Its an excellent point, love the colour depth and clarity. Cant wait to see the stone that emerges from inside mate! ?

Gold, gold, gold ? those are the sort of rocks some of us dream about!

I agree AussieChris, it would under the Qld (and probably every other state) regulations be illegal. I would assume assume anyone that tried it in the real world to cop the same fines as those that dredge or hydraulicly mine illegally. As for the other part of your question Goldfreak, I think...

You could in theory... But thats the catch isnt it :o Itd have to be on the bedrock in a place where gravel normally accumulates in the normal flow of the river so it catches the passing heavies. Next problem is having a trap of some sort that gold just can't get out of, then it'd have to be...
