    Sold to first inquiry. Honestly, prospectors are the best people. Mods can close now. Thanks, GT.

    Gold nuggets and specimens

    Hi all, Just going to put my gold display box up for sale including contents. Its made by Sharon's, and has 12 slots for detected pieces and specimens. I have small cards set in inlays that tell exactly where the gold was located. Its mostly Rushworth gold, with some specimens from Bendigo...

    Goldtarget update

    Did about half a bucket as curiosity was killing me. At first I wasn't sure if maybe I had some left some small gold from Eldorado in there, so tipped the last bit of the bucket in after the first. Theres definitely gold. Off to the southern beaches for the weekend, I'll let the rest soak...

    Made a video of where I was digging today. No gold, as I haven't washed the dirt, but if youd like to have a look here it is

    Goldtarget update

    Finally back home. So its been a couple of full days. Wednesday I went up to Beechworth via Reedy to check out the flow. Had a bit of a scratch around in a spot Id only visited once before, did some crevices, chatted with a family enjoying a bit of prospecting. Destroyed my hands, but got a...

    Goldtarget update

    Was a long day. Went up to Beechworth, then Yackandandah. Ill put a full write up down when I get back tomorrow, there was gold! Boss and I are out early tomorrow to shovel at Eldorado. His and my theories vary a little, Im sure he wants to target particular zones as observed from videos...

    Goldtarget update

    Went over to Bendigo today and picked up a highbanker. Second hand, a bit pricey, but made by our old mate Dusty, genuine Gold Rat, so Im pretty happy. Boss is keen to go out so probably up to Eldorado this week at some stage. Did have a poke around a couple of spots on the way home, its so...

    GM 1000 - How to find detectable areas in the Golden Triangle

    Hi Pip. Just a couple of observations. If you are getting lead shot, its a good sign to a point, when I went out with the sdc I knew I was in the right areas where someone wasn't being thorough, or hadn't been before. Try to avoid discrimination. The GM wasnt the most reliable. Which leads me...

    Goldtarget update

    Its been a minute. Boss has been successfully hunting down the odd bit, we all went out in August for a day, a mate of mine, his mate, and my boss. 4 detectors got 11 grams, which worked out pretty good day, but we were working an area that had been cleared bush backing up to private land. In...

    Delegate & Bendoc area

    Ive travelled out through Bendoc. Family live near Bombala. Can support the warning about the snakes. Couple old timber cutters gave me directions to the mines, and the warnings. Tigers, death adders, and jumping jacks. Didnt see any adders, but apparently they arent easy to spot. But...

    R.I.P - Forum Members and other prospectors

    I know I'm very late but this thread has hit me pretty hard. In reverse order I was saddened deeply to hear the news of Wals passing. Indeed the prospecting world and (early) members of PA will remember him fondly, as I do. Condolences to Liz and family. Ill miss his altruism and enthusiasm...
