thanks for your post - it's the "kicker" that I needed to start on something I've been thinking about for a couple of years now... I see that the DEM 1 metre resolution elevation files for my area of interest were re-processed to 5 metre resolution :(

I get it, it's a joke ain't it - well maybe the mods can move it to under the correct topic section........

There's a lot in that photo! - I'm still looking for the bird cos I find myself distracted by the geology, especially a quartz piece in the lower right foreground containing what looks to be Stylolites. Depending on where you are in Australia stylolites are considered an "indicator". You might...

Been there.... and I found that it needs a LOT of water to have that mat clearing efficiently correction clearing at all but then again it is a tough call in a river sluice. Would be better in a High banker I imagine. You could trim the lugs off the underside of the mat so it lays flat as I did...

Interesting - pic three is 2 pieces of letterpress printing plate. Depending on age it will either be magnesium alloy or a lead alloy. casper

My daughter has lived in the USA for eight years and generally speaking "fresh" cream is not a thing that city folks are able to get - the stuff they call cream is an imitation and comes out of a spray can.

......you wrote "this booklet" I'm wondering did you previously post a copy on the forum that I missed....

Here's how I explain to newcomers on how to view a "cross eyed" stereo image on your computer screen..... Load the the image and adjust the overall width of the stereo pair to around 250mm in width. Your best viewing distance is one arms length from the screen. Gaze at the image pair and...

.......actually I enjoy creating stereo images and converting ol' time parallel stereo views to cross eye free view so that I can enjoy them - so I guess I'm a collector too. Below are a few of my favorites.

Thank you Teemore, For those of us without a viewer to get the 3D effect I have prepared a cross-eyed version to view without a viewer. Google "How To Free View Stereoscopic Pairs" if the technique is unknown to you ........this is my passion :)

There is a lot of "romanticism" wrapped up in the term SWAG, but really the modern day "swags" are just mini tents, and some may call it evolution. Now, tents are really practical especially when the weather is not favorable.... but swags are not.... Yes! I've slept in a "real" swag (you know...

nah! - I don't trust those youtube "machine" voices

I use GEOVIC maps and in my experience, and broadly speaking the areas outside of the "historic" golden triangle (ie Tarnagulla Dunolly Moliagul), also Ballaarat / Bendigo, Castlemaine, Whahalla for example ... the display of historical data is patchy, as in that not every gold occurrence or...

We're the same age and I saw him dance when i was 19yo, I remember it vividly RIP

Whilst panning in Gippsland I've had high powered rifle shots put over my head a couple of times - maybe, just maybe they were deer hunters and didn't know that I was so so close! by but hey! I'm a generous person..... :awful:

congrats... my first find was a aluminium racing pigeon leg ring at Muckleford State Forest near Castlemaine Vic. It was interesting researching the leg ring number, it turned out that bird was ringed in 1966, the owner was from Reservoir, just out of Melbourne Vic but he had since died so I...

....... As much as I respect you I gotta say that I wouldn't have gone there - "damning with faint praise" doesn't contribute positively to the topic. peace, casper

I did, it awakened some suppressed feelings - thank you casper

X2.... and dig deeper, find the bottom (hardpack gravel or bedrock) that's where the gold is. If you're shoveling loose gravel you're not there yet........ depends on the location but be prepared to go down 1 metre plus.
