It's ok Silver, I will give a pass for that reply, but, let it be known that I am recording our time together and one day, when I need a favour in return, I may call on you ...

I hate to say it, but this is a "delete if not allowed" question. I run a professional writing and editing business and I am wondering if people would see value in a straightforward letter writing service? Whether it is for your own attempts to redress local injustices (dispute bills) or to...

I struggle to get out there, have even snuck out for a morning or two - I'm about and hour and half from most of the eastern half of the GT. On cars and fuel - I recently bought a 2nd hand VW Amarok, and it has a 2l turbo diesel engine and I am pleasantly surprised by it's efficiency. It's...

Yeah I know where to find the maps via that site, I have them electronically from there - but there's no way of purchasing physical maps from them... and after a metric tonne of googling it looks like the only way is to get it printed yourself... I was asking here just in case someone knew of a...

On this topic, does anyone know a way to buy physical printed geological maps for victoria? Specifically the 1:50,000 series

Yeah that makes sense - I really don't like not being able to hear the ambient noise/things going on around me, kinda feels "unsafe"...

Yes I have my own "historical project" please, people, send me the locations of your finds so that I can "document them". No shady business, no sir.

I'm not really a paranoid person, but something is off here. Just enough grammatical errors to put the wind up me lol

Hi all, Another topic raised the ear health concerns of wearing earphones or headphones all day esp in humid climates. For some this can be a major problem, potentially harming your ear (and hearing). An alternative to external speaker might be open-ear bone conduction headphones. These work by...

Look up "bone conduction headphones" these don't stick into your ear so that might help

Yeah Yankee Rd is 2WD accessible, it's just the tracks off it that need 4wd really, esp after rain (there are portions that would be ok with 2wd as long as you have clearance, but I'd probably not take the chance.)

The old timers had an appreciation of the geological setting for gold, so they knew what they were looking for. Emphasis on "looking". They were mining visually - following the reef as far as they could see it and as long as gold was coming out of it. (Still today in mining the mine geologist...

I'm offloading a nox 600 in this price range. It finds bullets/lead so it can find gold...

Western Victoria is a fascinating example of a whole bunch of geological phenomena. But the Newer Volcanics are particularly spectacular in their coverage

It would be a very long post to explain completely, it's almost like a microcosm of all of geology. In a nutshell tho: Rivers don't last forever. They only run while there is higher ground to runoff from. Rivers are the conveyer belt that takes all the rock being eroded off the hills into the...

Several times now I have forgotten to take off my watch - and that's a screamer when put over the coil - and it's not even a metal watch, all rubber, but obv has internal metal. I have composite toed boots that have a tiny metal clip above the side zip that will also scream if the coil gets too...

In a sense you are either renting from another owner, or renting from the bank. Unless you own your house outright, of course, then buying becomes the obvious choice. The advantage of renting from the bank is that they just want their interest money and that is all. They don't really care what...

Wow that's moustache-twirling levels of evil plans there. But I'm sure it happens nonetheless

Interesting to have another rocklicker onboard (well sounds like you're a geophysicist really, but I'll try not to hold that against you!) Nice work on the turn to gold, I'm trying to get back in to that. I had a colleague in WA who was a a lively chap, a geophysicist, and he was fond of...

Haha you'd be surprised then how much geos don't know or have forgotten. Identification of lead slag is not on the test lol, nor is it something you generally come across in actual geological exploration!
