Now the sooks are complaining about our sledging. Boo Hoo. Here's a sledge for you - change your national bird to a duck - you stooges made enough of them.

Hey Wally. See this site - may offer some explanations. As for the sixties - 14/2/1966 was the swap over. 13/2/1966 you could get 6 cobbers for sixpence. 14/2/1966, 5 cobbers for 5 cents using the same bloody coin. Have never forgiven the CoA...

Welcome mate. Yes, you can walk along creek lines and water runs with a detector. Trouble is usually rubbish that also gets washed down. Detector types are really down to your budget. Might I suggest, think about a supervised gold tour with one of the companies - google gold detector tours...

Tas - I see the dilemma you are in. What about lumo sticks. You can get the really small ones and perhaps tape them on as a quick fix?

Few options mate. I use the safety glasses- got them from Masters donks ago. Headlamp, like RJ posted. LED baseball cap Safety glasses that have two small LED lights on the side (that switch off for daytime use) Edit - I might add, the 4500 has a back light, but if the battery is getting low...

Jaros - you look like the bloke in the end of the world movies trying to contact any survivors. "CQ CQ - there are no living humans in QLD - I am all alone"

amen.... and walk up from the woolies servo and get a big bucket of KFC. mmmmmm. KFC.

win - win. well done men.

Goldfield joe said I "lost" one yesterday. It was there, then it wasn't, then it was, and then gone.... way guilty of removing a bit of leaf litter you can actually track out a signal. not sure if the TDI will do it, but it is possible. this is can happen if running in tracking and the target...

Goldfield joe said I "lost" one yesterday. It was there, then it wasn't, then it was, and then gone.... you can actually track out a signal. not sure if the TDI will do it, but it is possible. this is can happen if running in tracking and the target is continually swept, or if when doing the...

How? early 1970s with my Pop and his brothers. Camping, panning and sluicing up around Slaty Creek near Creswick. No detectors then. Did lots of specking for gold on the ground after rain. Learnt to pan with small shot gun pellets. Pan off and still have 10 - commence panning for real. Great...

The Tarnagulla (The Golden Age) - closest to Dunolly is fine. Small pub. 15 minutes from Laanacoorie. The Newbridge (closest to Laanecoorie) has the front bar which as you would expect from a country pub has many colourful identities - farmers, quarry workers, railway workers, road workers...

How could I forget the Laanecoorie Lakeside Caravan Park. No take-away but cold drinks, bungers, gold maps, papers @ 9am, groceries and a good yarn. Not the same since Jimmy Stewart died but still a handy spot.

yes, usually on deep ground with very faint signals. the signal can get 'lost' as it may have just been a slight threashold break. what I do is GPS the area and head back with a big coil just to verify. shallow stuff - no, but I am confident on ground noise, hot rocks, clay domes MOST of the...

Yes, the Asian couple. I cannot get an answer if they are going to try and get the licence back. They were talking about how quiet the town is now on a Saturday night - it is. Remember the old days - the street used to be packed when both the pubs were open - locals, footy teams, prospectors. I...

Chips are very average. Had one semi-raw pizza. Steam dimmies are good.

Royal had no licence - pub sold as a residence last weekend. Grocery shop people bought it. Railway still unopened. Tarnagulla and Newbridge are still open. Newbridge is going very well with the new owners since after Ray. Sal is still the cook. Terry is trying to get a beer garden open at the back.

yes - good one. Small, friendly bar. Closest pub for Dunolly now.

Meta - yes mate me too - too old for that nonsense now. Cut and delivered with scrap off the property to keep things clear and kindling.

Yes mate - I broke the fifth metacarpal in my right hand (again) - sparring, cheap arse sparring gloves were the issue. Broke it boxing years ago and if on a bag or speed ball the wrong way - bam. Best thing is, only have a half cast on it - wraps around the bottom of your hand and strapped...
