Heres one I put together a while back. Also had to replace the original foam rubber plunger, made one out of an old rubber 4wd floor mat. Suction now excellent but requires alot of shoulder strength. Cleans those underwater holes a treat. Cheers, TGW.

Sent you a pm mate.

Gold encased in ironstone concretions. The gold gods truly are diabolical!

Cant hurt to try. If you think theres gold in it, at worst youve used a bit of acid. At best more shiny's!

A hotrock Gumby, probably hematite or magnetite. Definitely some form of iron.

Yep the high density (hdpe) bottles are the one that your after. Nice and soft but theyre mostly not uv stable so a few years down the track they will go brittle. Also dont take heat or sharp objects very well.

Agree with you there davent, for me it wasnt comminsure but suncorp. Wont touch suncorp again, dont trust insurance companies/ banks as far as I can throw em but hard to function without some form of banking these days. :( Nuff said. Gripe finished.

Have tried that myself Ken2m, you will need to find a way to seal the lid really well otherwise you lose suction. Also need to seal around whatever tube you use. Made one out of a 1/2 litre squeeze bottle and some copper tube, ended up scrapping it as I couldnt get it to seal properly and...

See you then, hope your feelin better soon.

Condolences to you and your family, if you need to talk just let us know. In the last week ive lost an uncles and the wife's mum has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Thtas hard but I dread the day we lose mum, shes a big figure in life. TGW.

Hi mate, just reading a little of your dramas. You should be able to get cable lugs from Ashdown Ingram on Lyons St. Should be a pkt of 10. Hope that helps, TGW

Had my Maxxis Bighorns for 50,000ks still going. Good value for money.

Best thing to do is suck up all of it and put it in a finishing pan with clean water when you get back. Unless your getting heaps of black sand in the bottom and I mean teaspoons full. Then you could use a plastic wrapped neodymium magnet to remove most of that black sand and suck up the...

Signed. Thanks Heatho.

Cheers for that Bazz, most things that are any good arent cheap as you know. But we all live in hope of a bargain here and there. :D Thanks, TGW.

Happy birthday for yesterday AR. Btw feel free to send some of that rain up here, need some decent wet stuff.

Well thats a good sign that your spot may have been overlooked, best part is that your already on the gold so just a case of working that vein till it stops. Hopefully it goes deeper and shows more colour! TGW.

Nice build Bazz! Not to worry, im in the 'cant weld to save his life' club as well. Doesnt stop me getting out the grinder and rivet gun though. Just curious what size that bilge pump is?? Ive been looking at a few but their only 1" inlet/ outlet in size. Yours looks like it shifts water a...

Hi Gold Hawk, Ive always understood the terms as: Reef- the quartz veins within the host rock. Leader- the main concentration of gold bearing quartz. Stringer- a smaller offshoot of the leader usually shows up on the surface as quartz outcrops. The problem is that quartz shows up in different...

Yep. Its surely a sad state of things. Not just worthwhile government funded projects but the economy in general - as you said Heatho 'the rich get richer' and the poor get something resembling welfare after the pollies give themselves a pat on the back for being so generous . While the tax...
