My favorite find occurred at Muckleford near Castlemaine in Victoria. I was a raw beginner armed with my newly purchased Whites GMZ detector. After 3 or 4 fruitless hours walking dry gullies, and all the time wondering if I had the settings where they needed to be, then I got signal :o WOW! I'm...

..... no, it's Baw Baw Goldfield.

I found these smooth surfaced irregular shaped stones in my screenings when working a Gippsland creek recently. They are pea-sized, and many have surface nodules. They are attracted to a magnet, and that is the golfball-sized cluster seen in the pan. They are, however, not magnetically attracted...

Thanks for clarifying - can't wait to commence my build. casper

I have one..... are the pipes capped where they exit the collection box? a photo from that angle would be great ;) casper (aka Rob)

33 /35 FUN :Y:

Yep... "oh no not again" In my own painful experience general advice can be generally correct or generally wrong ... and generally depends on in which state that you live because Australia is a Federation of Sovereign States. Wherever you live the relevant information you require is readily...

This thread has rekindled my interest in geo-referencing. My first experience with it was back in 2007, pre smart phone era, and I had an iMate PDA running Windows Mobile 3 and a purchased app called GPSDash. My scanned, or the then "newly" available purchased digital VIC topomaps were...

How 'bout building a Stamp Mill - need be nothin' like the 2x4 head stamper at Sovereign Hill - a single head will work fine.

Bakers Flat is just a stones throw from Secret Hill, it's true! ......and I'm sorry to tease but you would be interested to know that the big nuggets that were found at Waanyarra were won from shallow leads (buried ancient watercourses). Certain surface vegetation growth patterns point to the...

Nup! and sorry to break ya bubble but no it's not - the juice is actually a mixture of water and a protein found in muscle meat that is called called myoglobin. ....and BTW i do recognise where you're coming from and that is that your preference is for "well done" steak :Y: peace

..... meat juices ain't BLOOD 'tis just meat juice :) yum

you've piqued my interest, I found that TROVE has more info on the tunnel than does the Victorian Heritage Database :(

Why "NO TOURNIQUET"? it's because it causes tissue damage and unnecessary complications for the medicos and the patient.... ie the limb will have not have blood circulation for who knows how long (and so it's dying). From about 15 minutes onwards the tourniqueted limb will begin to experience...

It's an example demonstrating the inconsistancy I experienced - the left side is a good cut - the right side is not. The material the mat is made from is super tough which is a good thing given punishment they get in use ;

Hi MH... how did you cut your dream mat? I've had limited success, it's like trying to cut jelly. When cutting across the mat to shorten it the result is predictable and acceptable.... but same cannot be said for cutting along the mat to reduce the width. By far my best results was from using a...

........ couldn't really say because the cells are just so tightly packed with heavies.

didn't watch past 1:45 :N:

The year was 2016 when the pics were taken, it was a year when the Gippsland waterways had good summer and autumn flows...

stiff yes :Y: (wont destroy it and my day if I trip and fall on it) but a tad too heavy to carry underarm for any distance with the mat installed. gunna fashion some "clip on" shoulder straps for it and carry it backpack style methinks...
