    40E Permit's for WA - information and questions

    Hi Gem in I, I don't understand what a "white Knight Post" is mate...can you explain? As for the rest of your comments, I won't waste time responding other than to say it's pretty obvious you have little idea about what Lisa and I do and little idea about prospecting in WA.

    40E Permit's for WA - information and questions

    I thought that the notification was handled by DMIRS and has always been the case.....but it wouldnt be the first time I get things wrong! Some areas will be out of bounds because of govt facilities etc but definately not because of any POW-P's or POW-E's that are in place. For what it's worth...

    40E Permit's for WA - information and questions

    its a can of worms actually Shakergt. You will get tenement holders writing back to you saying they do not approve of your application and you cannot go there....they have no right to do this and are dealt with by DMIRS...it's a game of bluff and once again you need to know your rights and...

    Be Careful of Mosquitoes

    RR and BMF are viral infections.....no cure and you have them for life. like many viral infections ie cold sores etc the effects reoccur usually it seems by way of chronic fatigue. Forget what the health departments have on their website...the are wrong.

    Be Careful of Mosquitoes

    it's a funny thing....many people ask us whats the worst thing that can happen to you out here. Getting murdered....wild dogs...cranky leaseholders....none of that compares to getting bitten by the wrong Mozzie. Unfortunately I did.....Barmah Forrest Virus...same thing as Ross River Virus more...

    an old prospector had a saying I like...."the best coil is the one you find gold with".... once you get used to a coil and you find some gold with it. it aint going nowhere!

    40E Permit's for WA - information and questions

    Both tenement holder and pastoralist are notified by DMIRS....if you choose to contact either then that's your choice. It is a notification period as there are no grounds for objection by the tenement holder.

    Faulty Nugget Finder Coils ??

    Coils are a specialised electronic instrument....and most people treat them very poorly. That being said, there will always be failures and breakages. Coiltek/NF/Commander...doesn't matter...they can all have a hissy fit.The important point is the after sales service from the various...

    GPZ7000 And Salt Lakes

    Interesting point StayyerAU....it's something I have always wondered about...the so called "Halo Effect"...can someone explain it to me? My viewpoint at present is that I can't see it actually existing. It makes no sense to my tiny brain. The difference between the origional target response and...

    Regulations On Removing Big Nuggets?

    Very true I'm afraid....I guess that's what integrity is all about??? A few years ago, two fellas got done for illegal mining around Leonora. As well as a visit to the local court house etc etc, all their gold(around 40oz I believe) was confiscated. Point to be noted was that their find was on...

    Regulations On Removing Big Nuggets?

    and that was the point I was getting at....if you do it your way...and get caught...then its gold theft and guess who owns the gold?...WA....if you do it legal then there are no issues.....but I get your point.....after I shat myself....cried.....had a heart attack....I'd be tempted myself!

    Regulations On Removing Big Nuggets?

    It's only my opinion but I would consider use of a crane illegal mining. I would be more concerned that you haven't left yourself wide open by asking the question on here. So....if the 'nugget' was found legally...then continue to work within the act/regulations and keep any machinary out of...

    Casting for TV show: Aussie Gold Hunters

    I think the shows are what they are and in themselves do little harm to 'the industry'. Unfortunately, and without going into details, they can be poison to professional prospectors that appear on them. Hence the reason they are always trying to find real talent....they would have any number of...
