    Today I BOUGHT

    Today the Starlink Mini was released so I went looking for one. I had to get out a bit to find somewhere I could park so I dropped in to Hardly Normal at Campbeltown. They had four in today but all were sold. Next I tried JB HiFi and they said they had one in Narellan so I grabbed that one...

    How hot can hot ground get?

    I think you're detecting all that Iron we've been exporting to China, just keep digging but beware, last time those Chinese turned up in the thousands. Sometimes we miss the target. It might be on one side of your hole part way down. Switch to CANCEL, that will reduce the strength of the...

    Selling gold (Kalgoorlie/Boulder)

    The first time you sell to the refinery you have to fill out some paperwork inhouse after that all transactions can be done by post.

    Rocket launches LIVE.

    Did this rocket ever get off the ground? Is this another example of government red tape blocking Australian innovative advancement?

    Selling gold (Kalgoorlie/Boulder)

    I've found that we get the best and most reliable service from the Perth Mint Refinery near the Perth airport. It's a long way from Kalgoorlie but one of the reasons is that they will take all that gold that looks stained or is contaminated with quartz and iron and still pay the real gold and...

    Smelting gold

    Your gold will have many types of impurities that we as armatures cannot remove. Unless you need pure gold we can just remove the worst of it during the melting process. If you've done the usual melt and pour using borax for flux then you most likely have the majority of the impurities removed...

    Nuggets are formed by earthquakes!

    This video explains to me the most believable theory if seen so far. Perhaps because geologists seem come up with too many unbelievable theories 🧐

    Whites GMT / headphones

    Same as ours. It came with a simple light weight set of earphones but we usually plug in anything that operates with the GPX4500. As stated earlier it has a 1/4" jack. I've recently used the Grey Ghosts.

    What are YOU doing right NOW

    I’m sitting here frustrated with current marketing methods. I’ve been trying to buy a Starlink Mini. Everybody wants to sell it but nobody has one that I can buy and pickup. All they want to do is take your money and then deliver whenever they get stock even though they say it’s available now.

    WA farmer finds gold ring in punnet of cabbage seedlings!

    Amazing, I have to scrub the Aussie dirt of my quad bike before I can enter WA but peat moss comes in from Holland.

    What are YOU doing right NOW

    I’m in negotiation with Native Title on a lease just 50 km from home. It has an old airstrip in perfect condition. I’m hoping to just pop out there in a few minutes grab some gold and be home for morning tea.

    What are YOU doing right NOW

    We’re parked at Rainbow Beach. I’ve not visited here since Christmas Day 1972 when my Dad died suddenly. We never made it down to the coloured sands that trip so hopefully tomorrow we’ll make it.

    What are YOU doing right NOW

    We’re parked at a free campground near Springsure in Queensland. It was quite a surprise when Mrs M read “the cliff face is floodlit at night” and swung the door open. We walked about 100m and took these photos at night.

    What are YOU doing right NOW

    I’m sitting outside the office at Cape Palmerston Holiday Park freezing my butt off while trying out Starlink. I’m logged into the park’s Starlink and it’s the best internet connection I’ve had in weeks. I think I need a Starlink Mini. Perhaps I need it quickly before Mrs M finds out how badly...

    What are YOU doing right NOW

    but I don't see what they could gain by that? I'm not going to pay for something I can't tow away. https://gumtreeau-res.cloudinary.com/image/private/t_$_s-l800/gumtree/aefbf246-f886-4031-92a7-ce5fa5363f53.png

    What are YOU doing right NOW

    I'm sitting on the side of the road waiting for some arrogant pain in the neck to answer his add to sell a trailer. The trailer is listed on Gumtree with no contact number but states that it is in Darra. I first messaged Eduardo two times on the 4th of August then again on the 5th, each time...

    GPX 3500 UPGRADE?

    I ran into a bloke the other day who was looking at selling his GPX4500 because the upgraded 3000 was better. I googled Woody's upgrades but I can't confirm the advantage of the upgrade apart from how quietly the machine runs. I've been swinging a GPX6000 for the last three years so I guess...

    AlgoForce e1500 coil recommendations?

    Hi clodmac, I've hardly used the 4500 since it was modified. Actually I haven't really done much detecting since then and it's hard to put the 6000 down when everytime you swing it you're digging another tiny nugget. For one thing I haven't owned many NF coils. I bought the 19" Evo so that I...
