    Gold the Old Timers Missed - Story of a Full-time Victorian Gold Prospector

    When can I see part 2? Fantastic story. There were a lot of stories like that back in the late 70s, early 80s. But, mostly kept quite for obvious reasons. Those were the days!

    No Channel 7 coverage in the Golden Triangle.

    Thanks Simmo. I'll go there and pick their brains as to what the locals are using, and ask about Hubbl, and the Amazon Fire Stick that Davsgold mentioned. Thanks Davsgold.

    No Channel 7 coverage in the Golden Triangle.

    Got a notice on Channel 7 a while back stating that there would be no coverage in my area, the Golden Triangle, on T.V.s over 10 years old due to upgrades on their system. Well, it did happen!

    Volume on GPZ7000. Can anyone tell me what the volume control on the Z actually does?

    Can anyone tell me what the volume control on the bottom row of icons actually does? If I increase mine everthing gets louder. Why? I'm not asking about the volume limit on the top row of icons, as that controls the loudness of the targets. Cheers.

    GPZ handle strength.

    Does anyone know how strong the Z handle is? I've noticed I tend to use it as a brace when I stand up from digging a hole. Do they have a history of snapping like the flimsy GPX handles, or are they better quality?

    Homemade skid plates

    Hi Moneybox. That conversion from compressor to vacuum is very interesting. Could you give me some info on how to do it, so I can make one? Cheers.

    Wiley's coin and relic by-products from 40 years of gold prospecting.

    Yes Oz. Very similar. Same words on the Lady side. The other side seems to me, to be. A lady on a donkey carrying something which could be a baby, accompanied by someone carrying a staff. I can't see any writing on that side.

    Hi Mackka. That's not a small medallion. What does it commemorate? It's good that you remember your friend Michael like that.
