    ⭐ Gold Detecting Show'n Tell

    Yes no probs mate. Standard 11 inch coil sensitivity 7, difficult on a creek edge so the hole was actually submerged once I dug it. I basically grabbed handfuls of rock and muddy sludge and kept swiping over the coil untill it pinged, took a while and also found rusty crap a metre either side.I...

    ⭐ Gold Detecting Show'n Tell

    Finally after 47 lead pellets and about a hundred rusty objects found my first piece with the 6000. A nice specie. It’s showing gold on every surface and the total weight is 8.5 grams. Will have to deduct the quartz and buy some Ali brite to tidy it up. Hopefully there’s a few grams in it pretty...

    Windfarm Karara Qld, impact on nearby GPA?

    So are the turret sections, that’s 3 high powered semi trucks towing a section up a hill on the last wind farm I worked on. It does seem Herries Range is a long way from the GPAs thankfully after a quick google just now.

    Windfarm Karara Qld, impact on nearby GPA?

    It seems it is in the DA stage at the moment located around Karara from what I can gather from google but I can’t seem to find an exact footprint or detailed proposed map to get any detailed info. Hopefully it doesn’t affect existing GPAs in the area but it’s impossible to speculate untill...

    Windfarm Karara Qld, impact on nearby GPA?

    It seems the premier has announced the “Herries Range “ wind farm so an additional 180 ( approx) turbines will be installed to bring the total capacity from 1000 Meg to 2000 meg. It will be absolutely enormous! Going for my first swing out there Friday next week, hopefully scrape up some colour...

    Windfarm Karara Qld, impact on nearby GPA?

    Hi guys I’m working at the far end of the wind farm near Leyburn where the 330 kv transmission line feeds back into the existing grid from Millmeran power station some 70 klms away. I heard a rumour a while back they had decided to double the size of the farm. So I googled it just now. Not sure...

    1899 queen victoria penny

    4 million ounces came from the goldfield I’m trying but the gpa is tiny and has a couple of metres green stone?? and quartz overburden from the mines plus about 600 mm of silt on top of that from the last flood. It’s full of rusty junk so I’m thinking I’m confined to the creek and adjacent...

    1899 queen victoria penny

    Hi guys, Took my new 6000 out to find my first gold but come up with this crusty old coin. It’s a 1899 queen Victoria 2 copper or bronze penny in bad shape. Pretty stoked even though it’s in rough shape. Tried to clean it in vinegar and salt but I have no idea how to do it properly! Cheers

    Is the crypto boom & bust just part of 'every bubble being pricked' in wider market sell-off?

    I think if you keep your crypto in a personal wallet offline and not on a platform as such, then the chances of being swindled are minimised. I’ve met quite a few young people who have made a killing from the crypto early days and no longer work, it’s Definately not for everyone but for myself I...

    Is the crypto boom & bust just part of 'every bubble being pricked' in wider market sell-off?

    Interesting thread, I’m buying ATM crypto is cheap and although it’s crashed since last years high Bitcoin was $0.09 cents 12 years ago and sitting at around $16 k US. Not a bad investment if you bought in then and can’t think of too many other investments that have similar returns. Good luck!
