    who can identify this spot ?

    How about this one. Since it's pretty cryptic, it's near ballarat and is open to the public. This area has had a couple of uses including gold and quarrying of country rock.

    Gold Price Discussion

    Agreed. More stable than shares and less stable than real estate is my opinion. If you study the indicators of the gold market (which I don't) I'm sure you'll do well, gold isn't a rapid mover.

    Dowsing/divining for gold

    That is interesting indeed. I didn't click the link on the other site I may have to now. 100k hey, I'd only want 10% you know finders fee :D I do however feel that location would be paramount as Aust Skeptics would want an area with no ground water like Horsham. I do recall watching a very...

    pine plantations,

    Since the plantation (pine & blue gum) crash of a several months ago the fed & state gov has been ripping thousands of hectares out in the SW region of ballarat. Even out the NE side of Mt Clear was stripped almost a year ago so it still doesn't have much new growth. Once they finish their clean...

    Dowsing/divining for gold

    I agree. However as Agman says water devining has been proven practically and scientifically (even though they really don't know how). I've seen it done many times, never tried it but seen bores sunk to water after local knowledge fails and a deviner has been called in. A 4" bore case 100'-200'...

    pine plantations,

    IMO if there is quartz on the ground it's worth a shot.

    Dowsing/divining for gold

    This item on ebay has had me thinking for some time, pretty much the electronic version of water devining http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Long-Range-Metal-Detector-Gold-Digger-Ground-Search-Treasure-Hunter-Archaeology-/221159761857?pt=AU_Gadgets&hash=item337e2627c1

    Anyone trade Bitcoin?

    I know of a guy that runs several CPU's 24/7 in their own aircon room just to mine bitcoins, he was making a reasonable wage from it.

    Had a go with the worlds cheapest detector

    For gold only on a budget, south of $1.5k. Your options are an ML SD or Whites GMT or sometimes a TDI will pop up at a good price. As reported time and time again the SD will find 0.5gm the GMT will find smaller than 0.5gm. Save your coin and get a ML PI.

    New detector will rival all others and its australian made

    Today I BOUGHT

    For around $120 your pretty much only going to find second hand ones, some of the early commercial units can e quite good. I was chasing a big cleaner for motor bike engine parts for years but never found one at the right price. $1000 bucks is a lot for a parts washer. Maybe a hand held steam...

    how i prospect for gold

    You can buy them to detect the gases you are looking for Basically you need o2 co2 h2s - I say this one because it can be generated by rotting vegetation or wood. Plus it kills before you know it in small quantities. LEL - Low explosive limit
