They only work off and on.....trick is to try and pick it when they are right!

With respect....I really hate the way American slang has crept into prospecting.

Apparently Pink is the new black!!...Also....we get most of our hiviz shirts from the rubbish dump and so cant be too fussy about the colour.

excellent point.

not the real deal????

Your only buying them if you want to put machinary on them I would think.

Not quite.....the $5k security (Form 32) has been around for a long long time. It requires you to sign a form saying you have 5k but you dont have to hand over 5k.

yep....I know of 50k being paid to a local TO to clear ground that did not need to be cleared....interesting times ahead for the industry.

your right but it changes little.The biggest problem out here are junior explorers (and there are many new ones at the moment) and their complete lack of understanding of heritage issues. Instead of engaging the services of people who get it...they throw money at the problem and often pay...

I'm in the mining industry as well....remember that Jukan gorge was legally done...but it was not accepted by the public....hence the changes. The abs don't make their money out of fines...they make their money from heritage survey work...and big money it is. There is constant fighting amongst...

to the aboriginals its about money, to some of the public it's about aboriginal heritage and to the politicians its always about the politics!

it "should" be ok...we'll see.

It's not all doom and gloom but there will be parts that I anticipate will be unworkable. The key now is not so much the act but what pops up in it's regulations. What it will most certainly do is put a lot more pressure on govt departments such as DPLH....this will cost time and that costs money.

metal detecting aint for everyone I guess.....it's always been that way....I always advise newchums to hire a detector before buying one to see if they like it!

Hmmm...yep...my advice is to always chase small gold...the big ones will find you. If you set yourself and your equipment up for quiet targets then you cant go wrong in my opinion. Often....a deep big target will sound like a fairy fart at the start. As far as amplifiers go, yes, they would be...

Hi Clem...I've been around a bit mate...and I hate digging rubbish....I'm there for the gold not the junk!!

thanks guys...I appreciate your feedback....to be honest...I was waiting to get shot down!!!

A little vid outlining my point of view on settings...keep in mind I'm here in the West. Running your detector 'flat out' is only seeing half the picture.

Hi Geoff.....and don't forget that it's good fun trying to work the gold content!! It's an interesting thing to do with one of natures gifts....all I am saying is I would not base a sale/purchase price on it as there are far too many variables and it is an unreliable method. Of , short of...
