I got diesel for $153.9 which included a 4 cent discount the other day at Victor Harbor which I was pretty happy with, it's gone up to $157.9 now, which is still pretty good. Victor's the biggest town on the Fleurieu Peninsula and it's got 6 servos all in close proximity and at the moment...

When I first got serious about detecting I booked a 5 day Goldrush Camp with Lisa and Tony at Leonora but unfortunately Covid hit and WA closed thier border so I couldn't get there, I was very disappointed, but I was lucky to have my brother and a few other experienced prospectors to help me...

It's worth it if you're doing the course with a reputable company or operator. There are a number of things they would teach you about finding gold legally and successfully including using your detector and staying safe in the bush, a good course will probably teach you as much in 3 days as you...

I personally think one of the big mining companies would be digging Lassitters gold out of the ground by now if it's real, great story and would make a great movie with Liam Hemsworth playing the lead role.

Hopefully the ACCC will put a stop to Coden from manipulating the market if they are forcing dealers to only sell Minelab products. I guess it's up to the dealers Coden are pressuring to make the complaints to the authorities, but it might come back to bite Coden on the arse if the other...
