    Selling gold - how, why, where

    No! This is a hobby, some do well but MOST find very little. If the tax man wanted to start taxing finds they would ALSO have to allow deductions for all associated costs ie. ten thousand dollar machines, accommodation, all travel expenses including spiked tyres, Prospecting clothes, licence...

    Today I COOKED.

    They're not gold top as in the hallucinogenic type and probably won't make you sick if you cooked them. There's over 2000 different mushrooms in Australia and I think there are 14 that'll kill you for sure, so the odds are in your favour - feeling lucky? General rule of thumb if you're not...

    Selling gold - how, why, where

    I think most of you are thinking too much. Just stick it on Gumtree as Sparkling Australian nuggets all those sub Grammers put in half ounce or 1 ounce packs and sell the gold $50 below $DAY ounce price. No one asks about purity or where it comes from (& if they did there's other enquiries...

    Depression What sort of day are you having today? Drifting out of a dreamy sleep you open your eyes and take in your first conscious breath, it's a new day! It's yesterday's tomorrow, it's another day. You get up and take in your first shuddering memory from yesterday's depth of despair only...

    GPX6000 Versus GPZ7000

    I've been running the 7000's since 2015 currently running a 2021 model & have just bought a 6000 (charging as I write), arriving in Forsythe QLD today so will take it out for the first time tomorrow. Going back to a couple of spots I absolutely hammered with the 7000 a year ago. So it's going to...

    Just part of the master plan! Get as many as possible to suicide from the stresses of a wealth tax before any pension is due & step in with DEATH Tax (many countries have one) get a substantial amount from their house and assets then the remainder goes to recipients of the will, who now become...

    Cleaning spendable coins

    If on inspection it's obvious what it is, the bank has no right to decline as it's still legal tender & you're doing a general service to the reserve, by bagging up the one's that need to be taken out of circulation. The bank will have to send them back to the melting pot. Not your problem really.

    Cleaning spendable coins

    Get change bags from the bank, bag them up and change them for $50 notes at the bank. Don't waste your time trying to make them pretty, the banks going to take them out of circulation when they pass through anyway. You put 'em back in circulation and the bank takes' em back out.

    Hi Everyone

    Set off to "live the dream" for 2-3 years that was back in 2011 STILL GOING! Bought a GPX 5000 when I set off & in 2015 bought a GPZ7000 & ditched the 5. Seriously if you want to find the gold you're walking over ditch both of those machines (I own an Equinox 800 too awesome in parks and...
