Thats some expensive hemarrhoids! :o :lol:

Gday Mickybees, Theres a few good models in your budget around at the moment. Have a look at late 90s rav4s, hiluxes and subaru foresters as possibles, theres also suzuki sierras and jimnys in the small 4x4 side of things. Also cheap now are late 90s/ early 00s jeep cherokees and the older...

Yep their out and about the whole reigon. Got one behind my right ear a month ago, dropped onto me when I was ducking under the branches of a rivergum and knocked my hat off. Generally try and wade up creek to avoid the pests but didnt on this occasion. Was poking around the Koah area at the...

Think this is relation to shaker table processing but not entirely sure?? Having never used one im going off what ive read. TGW.

Theres no simple or definitive answer to that, it all depends on the ground your on. The local geology and the way it has formed. Alot is research on a specific place and then a bit of luck as well. Here in nth qld alot of the faults run northeast to southwest roughly so the majority of gold...

Saw that one on your page the other day too mate, I was half asleep and getting over the flu then so I had to look a few times. With a close look you can see the little cubic forms that pyrite makes, its not an even colour though which makes me think theres a little gold in there somewhere but...

Welcome, best of luck out there in the field. TGW.

No worries Jase, Ive noticed that we prospectors seem to be solitary types :D Send me a message if you ever want a tag along on your adventures or maybe ill run into you on one of the creeks around redlynch if im lucky. Cheers, TGW.

Anyone else think it looks like a dustpan with riffles?? :lol:

Hey Kruj, welcome to the forum. Cairns and the surrounding area abound with mining history from Christie Palmerston who forged most of our major road routes on horse and bullock as well as discovering numerous Goldfields to the dredging days of 30 years ago. Have a poke around online and im...

Possible its part of an opium pipe if theres a history of Chinese working the field you were on. Can only imagine what would happen if someone went detecting stoned... :lol: :lol:

Hope you got everything she said in writing smokey, from reading many many threads and posts on this subject what the Qld mine dept says is dependant on who you talk to and where. They dont seem to have a good handle on what their policy is exactly with conflicting reports from different parts...

Thats the spirit Vstrom, we're all just humans; breif and fleeting in existence but its better for ourselves and those around us if we look toward the light instead of dwelling on the dark. Its hard in the worst situations to do that and not really expected as im sure the rest of your family...

Looks pretty good, just from personal experience though vehicles with macpherson struts and cvs dont take well to being lifted too high. It creates severe angles and wears out both boots and joints quicker. Dont get me wrong though it can and has been done successfully. When you increase the...

Hit it with a hammer till its flat. Now its one flake. Paint it white, stick it to the back of a postcard and write on it. Now its a "souvenir " :lol: :lol: :lol: :P

Tragic news kawman, my heartfelt condolences to you and your friend Richard.

:o :o Did well there mate, or is that a typo?

Doing better than my sundays digging mate, got a total of maybe 2 dozen colours from 3.5hours of cleaning crevices knee deep in cold water. With results like you got itd be worth spending a day or two with a highbanker working your patch. Well done

Mrs Green Wanderer and I got married last year. We paid for everything ourselves since our families are interstate and we knew they would be forking out for flights and hotels. In total it cost us a shade over $15,000 including our honeymoon. I think we did pretty well considering, though $1600...

Hey geodude, easiest way to get little bits is to grab your sinker and give it a few good whacks with a small sledge to flatten it a bit then put it in the vice and snip bits off with wire cutters or tin snips. Take it to the creek next time your out and count the bits into your pan of gravel...
