Ask for where they have all the carpets, vinyls and flooring on the big reels. Shouldnt be far from there mate :)

Hi all , has anybody done any prospecting in this area? Most of the info i can find shows it situated on multiple gold trails but nothing coming up of any significant finds. Cheers

That first spot is kangaroo crossing, theres decent out of gold along that stretch, you should do alright. Good luck

Been working the same area and just cracked through a foot thick layer of grey clay , underneath this layer in a few inches of black/purple clay that wont break up in the spray bars AND finally underneath this ive found a layer of hard pack gravels with fist sized rocks and very rusty gravels...

Cheers mate , what size hole wouls you reccomend that will provide more flow but cause me more headache than necessary? Sorry for the questions lol :D

Only issue im having is the moss is clogging with black sand about a foot down the sluice, im having to clean up so i dont run the risk of blowing stuff out the end of it. Thats why ive entertained the idea of the extension :) . It might be a quicker alternative to just make the holes bigger but...

You get used to it eventually lol, plus it makes for some awesome macro photo opportunities ;) . The easiest and quickest way i found to separate the black sand and gold was do it a tsp at a time and snuffer up. Takes awhile but youll capture most of it. I upgraded to a blue bowl for this exact...

Hi HY , took it out again yesterday to Reedy Ck for the day, ran about 10 degrees fall and slowed to abour 1 shovel every 20 seconds or so as i postioned my banker away from where i was working to avoid flooding the hole i was working. Seemed to clear alright while doing this , even tried a few...

Nice take mate , it was a cracking day! Myself and fellow PAer Gappa44 were out highbanking aswell :) we were surprised that we didnt see anyone else out. Good Luck on the rest of your clean up.

Cheers AF , i run my banker at arouns 6 degrees falls give or take , when i mentioned that my mats are full its roughly about the first foot that is filled with black sand that you can see it whilst letting clean water run over it. Depending on material i can throw anywhere from 1-3 shovels into...

Sorry , banker is 300 wide. Running 200lpm through 1.5" thornado. I probably am overloading it whilst running . I am getting plenty of material in the black v ribbed matting down the length and finding enough gold down further to warrant the extension.

My main reasoning was to improve my running times, as it currently stands im having to clean up every hour or as my mats are filling with black sand to the point i can see the gold sitting on top. Longer sluice - longer run time. Not sure as to how to improve this without going bigger. Cheers

Hi all, Ive been toying for some time on how i can up my throughout of material while highbanking and increase my catch rates. My current banker is 350 wide 900 long, hungarian riffles, miners moss, v ribbed matting down the length with a 6" section of expanded metal over the moss/v mat at the...

There will be a bung to remove and drain the water out. Turning the fuel off helps too. If your not using the pump for awhile draining the oil ,fuel will help too. Im sure there is more things but this is what i do.

Hi all, recently purchased myself a blue bowl and was wondering if anyone had a set of classfiers for sale that they no longer use? Im mainly looking for -30 / -50 / -100. If anyone has a set they are willing to sell can they PM me. Cheers

He has apparently been found safe and well on a nearby property. Thanks guys. :D

Image removed to protect identity. Thanks for alerting us. The Mod Squad Sorry if this is inappropriate, us prospectors get to some pretty remote areas sometimes.

Cheers for the info guys, ill have to bite the bullet it seems. Ill try calling the metal fab places first to see if they can help me out and if not ill have to hunt the set down. Thanks again

Water has been fluctuating in 1 meter swells done through the valley, i live 25 mins from the creek and was there on sunday. Water was still up and today we have had another 30mm of rain across the region so im expecting the creek to be about the same for the coming week. If the weather forecast...
