Reluctant sale as I just don't get out enough! GPX5000, serial no. B8009271, including - original mono Minelab Commander coil - Evolution 17x13" Nugget Finder coil (this one lives on my machine, and gives both depth and pinpoint accuracy) - massive 24" Coiltek DD Pro coil for looking deep. Some...

Thanks all, I have received the DVDs last year thanks to a kind member. Maybe lkyphl or someone can help JLC out...

Hi all, anyone have the Jonathan Porter "Uncovering the GPX 5000" DVDs surplus to their requirements? These appear to be out of stock online. Happy to pay new price ($25 + p&p, see...

Hi OzzieAu and PeterInSa, thanks for the replies and for letting me know I am not alone in discovering only trash at Jupiter Creek. It does seem hard work for no return, but no doubt I will head back there again and maybe cross paths with some fellow tragics! Is Mt Crawford much better? Its a...

Hi all, I spent all day at Jupiter Creek today detecting hard, here's my hoard. Just rubbish, no gold. I was picking up some very fine bits of wire as well as well-buried .22 bullets, so I'm guessing I'm doing the right things, just haven't got lucky yet. Does that sound about right? I'm using a...

Well done Tedmcfred! Its hard work isnt it... More and more Im panning mainly for the friends or family I can take out and have a good bush day with.

Wow nice sniping Reeks! I am embarrassed to show my gold, but hey I spent all day outdoors with the 11-year-old, and scouted a private property, so that's a good day. It looks ok, quite a few tiny flecks and a heck of a lot of black sand. Panning only this time, so it will be interesting to run...

Thanks BigWave. Are you aware of whether creeks run in Creswick around March?

Are you panning or detecting? If detecting then ask others, I dont know, though I see people detecting at Jupiter Creek. I like panning at Chapel Hill as there is always water in International Dam, even if you have to carry your buckets of dirt to the dam, which is hard work. I have made quite...

I am in SA, where our publicly-accessible prospects are very limited. One of my sons is keen for me to take him away somewhere more exciting (which is cool because it gives me an excuse to indulge my gold fever!) so I would like to plan a trip to western Victoria or the golden triangle area. So...

Hey nuggetino, thanks for the reply. At Chapel Hill, do you detect in the valley-floor gravels, or across the hillsides with better success? Im still trying to figure that place out. As far as I understand, at Chapel Hill the gold is originally in the deeper Tertiary ferruginous conglomerate...

Ah cool thats great! I havent fossicked at Mt Crawford yet. Nice to see running creeks - I was hoping for same at Chapel Hill but no luck, creek is still dry. Thanks for the invite, will give you a shout-out if/when I can make the drive with the lad.

ah thats a pity. In my defence they seem to have a couple of I think original faces intersecting at 90 degrees, not seen in the photo. And a much more adamantine lustre than the quartz found with it. But if quartz possibly just due to having extra waterlike clarity compared with the rest...

The teenager and myself did a bit of classifying while trying for gold at Chapel Hill, SA, on the weekend. I think the bottom right 5 pieces are zircon, very bright and refractive. Anybody want to confirm or suggest something else? The largest of the 5 is about 5mm in width. I still need to make...

Where was that Roverrock? Looks good!

Hi Dave thanks for the welcome, sounds like fun and yes a shout out would be great. We were working Chapel Hill yesterday in the drizzle. Today would have been fantastic! AtomRat I prob do mean ferruginous conglomerate, will have to look up the docs again. It was certainly partly cemented but...

Hi all, Ive lurked for a bit, first post :-) I occasionally make it to Echunga area from down Aldinga way, and pan or sluice in the Chapel Hill fossicking area. I love getting out, especially as its a way to connect with one of my boys heading into the teenage years! I managed to get a few...
