    Warning Order....

    I know what a triple bypass is like, I had one, and yes it fixed everything up, but it is a bit of a shock when you don't even know the pipes are blocked or getting blocked until you have heart attack, I guess that is what happens when you never go to a Dr because you think they are only...

    Clermont GPa

    you could try a bit of panning at McDonalds Flat GPA it's close to town about 5km or so there are a couple of reasonable size creeks out there with rock bar type of things in them, I'm pretty sure you would find a spec or two in a pan. I doubt you will pan enough there to buy a detector but you...

    Stupid Question - Can I use a normal sieve to find gems?
