Gold info Yella (pardon the pun) That's a recent study and I'll take it on board, So what I'm basically understanding is the older the land the more chance of gold.

Does any body know or have a theory as to why Victoria was chosen for these Palaeoplacers to occur? Are there many in other states also? I find it interesting and it might explain a few things I've often wondered about. Cheers skip

Hey Choofa I've got the mini 6 and reckon you should go the 888. The 6 is still good but I reckon you'd get through some material with the 8 unclassified if you have the flow. Cheers skip

Yo Gadget how's things?! if you can up load a pic I'm sure the members here could give you an answer. Goldie has a sticky thred to help identify. Unfortunately I'm limited with my geology but rocks have always facinated me but I'm slowly learning. Cheers Skip

Well my Aldi Adventure Ridge 40l is still going strong. Not that I could recommend it over top brand names, but 3 years on I love it for $350. I'm happy. It been getting chucked about in and out of the ute down the beach , camping and even grocery shopping, back of the golf cart you name it...

Yes, and did you ever walk the plank over the gap.. yikes took me four attempts to get the balls up. Got to be 50 or 60 foot drop into the water with a cold swim back around. :argh:

I won't take up Goldies thread with chitchat , but Goldie is our own version of Dr Karl. And I have also surfed down around the Gong and seen the stones but never worried about them. If you love rocks and formations , and if you're ever down the south coast Try taking a look down around south...

I found a few larva rocks while surfing around Sumbawa in Indonesia. Local guy there was cooking fish on some. Smelt good too!

How's the Mars pics coming along? I've been stuck in the city so haven't bothered looking up, but I love getting out in the snowing mountains in those crisp nights as the stars seem to come alive!

Hi scoop I've had a few 4x4 . Actually just took a new 5.6L Nissan for a spin. Beside being a little thursty, it really surprised me how smooth and powerful and well balanced the car was. Comfort is what id go for now days as I like doing longish trips. To me it's about the thrill of the...

Awesome shot! I've recently dusted off the binoculars. Ive got a pair of Glory 16x50 that I picked up for $20. As clear as my zeiss or nikon. Just need a new tripod bino mount and I'll grab one of the phone clamps while I'm at it and I'm back in business.

Yeah I'll try that. If it works might rig up a lead with a 12v charger. Thanks Bob Skip

Good to see you're enjoying your sluice. Sometimes you might need to sit a large rock across the top to keep it in position when the creek is flowing a bit. Building up a base platform to get the angles right to suit the amount of flow. They like around 10degrees but it often depends on the...

I was searching old threads looking to see if you can buy a new circuit board for the 7.4 68Wh battery. My battery got some water in it, I thought it had dried out. So I plugged in the 240 charger and boom! Blew the charger to bits, I then pulled apart the battery and checked the board, seems...

Thanks mate I got the photos you sent through.

Hi guys I have an Advantage litz wire 17x11 sitting about and wanted to swap it for some binoculars. Anyone interested post here or pm me Skip

Great finds mate. Got me all keen to go for a swing

I want one :D :inlove:

Yep hat Reg said. I had one from new. Works best with a booster and they do puch deep. Not the best in hot ground, however I ran a 14inch dd and never really had to many problems. If I had a few extra bucks I'd buy it. Skip

Nice pics Ozzie I once knew a bloke who lived there, sadly passed a few years ago, he knew every inch of the place and certainty would of helped with advice. I'd love to make a trip there also, but the loss has slowed my plans. I'm trying to remember all what he told me but I never put pen to...
