    Trilobite makes a huge difference!!

    Does anyone know how to keep recording the track without the screen being active? I set the trail to record and it will for the amount of time I have the app open. If my mobile times out and goes to black screen, it appears that the app stops recording my trail? I have a Samsung A23 Smart phone...

    Great Offline Prospecting Moving Map App.

    Ive purchased the app and included the WA prospectors package I'll keep in mind your comments about ownership rights to tracks/waypoints etc BigL....might just store that type of into on my handheld Garmin GPS (or is that also subject to the same issues?) I'm trying to work through the use of...

    Headphone compatible hat.

    I have 2 pairs of headphones with the large jacks so I'm gonna try cut and shoving a wide brimmed hat for starters and see if I can handle wearing the headphones all day On my first trip I found the WM12 operating as a speaker quite good for long sessions with the GPZ so the dual speaker setup...

    Headphone compatible hat.

    Maybe its just my issue, wearing a hat and headphones together, Ive never been able to manage the two as well as a fly net and wondered to myself how others go with it? On my first gold prospecting season (2017) I settled on using a broad brimmed straw hat (Bunnings variety) with a fully...

    Don't sell your Gold

    Hi Jack I agree entirely Can't remember who said it but it goes along the lines of 'anyone who is willing to sacrifice their freedom to obtain safety deserves neither' It would appear that the Australian government wants us to cede to them our trust in their intentions, well there is a cost One...

    Don't sell your Gold

    Hi Outback, This is a difficult question to answer and again my opinion only I suspect you know that fiat is worthless (literally a medium of exchange) and it is wholly reliant on the vast majority of peoples false belief that its a store of value. Its this mass ignorance that underwrites the...

    Don't sell your Gold

    Heres my theory, maybe Im wrong, in fact I hope I am Gold (and silver) is one of the most manipulated commodities, known not only as a commodity, but as money (store of value). Currency (medium of exchange) like the British Pound and the US dollar was backed by gold, giving it value. This was...

    Geology Maps

    Nanjim, Thanks for the advice, the WA mines website for example asks me to download Silverlight but it must be a PC specific program as it wont work for me on Mac??? So far Ive found the National map site which has 'interpreted bedrock geology' and NSW Minview but these dont have the named...

    Poor form

    I am amazed as I read through this what some people do I go out to prospect for gold, I submit 40e's when the lease type requires it, always let station owners know I'll be heading out to their property and ask them if there's anything I need to keep a lookout for or avoid (like musters, wild...

    Geology Maps

    Planning my trip north to Clermont is underway, Ive been teaching myself (with the help of Youtube) how to overlay maps on Google Earth. Its amazing how powerful that free bit of technology really is! After overlaying the GPA maps onto GE Ive also traced the relevant boundaries too so I can see...

    Ground near Cue - any suggestions

    Hi Phil001 Please take note you are getting advice from a bloke with 1 season's prospecting experience This may sound a little counter logical but it helped a bloke who asked for help with his new GPX 4500 I've never used anything other than a 7000, I'd been doing alright out at the spot where...

    Advice on finding my gold.

    Hotrob I think Rodsdragons is legit, his name dragons give me a clue that his gold is in the form of Gold Lunar series Perth mint 1 oz Dragon ingots or rounds....not gold nuggets, same with the silver If he's looking to hire a detector, means he doesn't own one Rod, I'd get 10 posts up then PM...

    Golden Triangle or Clermont?

    I have just organised 4 weeks off from mid July to mid August...this has taken an unreasonable amount of begging, promises that I can't keep and a fricken kidney! So my next issue is where to go????? I live on the Mid North Coast of NSW, roughly halfway between Victoria's famous Golden Triangle...

    Halls Creek or Leanora area

    Ive noticed that filling in holes is rarely practiced on many WA fields, but in saying that this is my first season and WA is my first state HC looks pretty good but the heat finally got to me, 39 in the shade and blody hot nights Im gonna do some research here because theres heaps of blue and...
