    Unbelievable Facts

    In 1980 Sweden's Department of Forestry wrote a letter to the Swedish Navy, informing the Navy that its Timber was ready. One hundred fifty years earlier, in 1829 Swedish planners predicted that a shortage of oak timber suitable for building warships would arise by the year 1990. So they...

    How much would you pay for a bull ant?

    .... and it's the same for Red Back Spiders - the Japanese love them. I find Red Backs on my property and a lady visitor once said "don't kill them" (btw I never have) I'll collect them and sell them.....

    Legend target sound with coil bump

    I have a Whites GMZ and have had the same issue. It was a known thing with VLF detectors back in the days before PI detectors became common. The coil is picking up some slight cable movement that is a reaction of the bump and triggering the machine. Put a nylon ‘P’ clip on the cable and attach...

    Haha - some would say that that was a "cheap shot" BUT I won't :) The IOS hasn't crashed - it could be a compatiblity issue when looking across the devices affected. just a glitch, "she'll be right mate" and it will be 👍👍

    No joy ….. the app was stable on the Victorian gold map until deciding to select satellite imagery causing the app to immediately crash. I now have the same behaviour as I initially reported.

    Updated the App 2 days ago and now Trilobite will not open on my iphone - the Trilobite app icon is there but when touching the icon the app's opening screen flashes up and immediately disappears. A search of the phone and the Apps library comes up negative. Looks like the program behind the...

    Request for Feed Back on Subaru Outback or Forester Experiences

    X2 what Moneybox said, "ground clearance is adequate for anywhere there's a track". And in an earlier post I offered, "always take the chicken track" and if that is not an available option then switching to a "technical driving" approach, ie taking particular care with wheel placement...

    Avago pump on highbanker

    'Tis a really nice build on the sluice 👌 From my experience your chosen deep rubber mat profile requires more water than the pump can deliver, so bucketing water might be the go for your setup cos you need a flush, rather than a trickle to clear that mat. Try something with a shallower profile -...

    Request for Feed Back on Subaru Outback or Forester Experiences

    I'm happy that you are happy........ my name on the OffroadSubarus Forum is "onebob" I post less frequently now only because I don't venture off the bitumen in the Suby so much since I got my Land Rover thirteen years ago but that'll all change tomorrow cos the LR is parked up whilst the...

    Request for Feed Back on Subaru Outback or Forester Experiences

    An interesting comment - Subaru don't use exotic fluids or non standard tyre sizes, the only difficulty i can think of would be getting the right engine oil filter cos they're tiny. I carry a spare in the spare wheel well. They seem to be sized to suit the oil change interval and in my...

    Request for Feed Back on Subaru Outback or Forester Experiences

    I totally agree with OzzieAu. I am on my second Subaru Forester, a MY2010 bought new and it has just turned over 352,000 kms. I've been all over the Vic High Country in it, in all seasons, and the same with the previous one also bought new. Always take the "chicken track" (I'm old school ie...

    Best way to practice panning without using gold

    Sure, it'll not be their first actual gold discovery, but maybe they'll better recognize the real stuff when they see it for the first time if only because no matter the light or the viewing angle, gold is always golden and unmistakeable - practicing with lead won't give you that. I too...
