    Klondike placer (alluvial) mining

    Prospecting / Gold Related TV Shows.

    I have to agree with the mineshaft parts as well. Not very responsible, whilst those involved might have extensive experience at shafting, caving, rope work etc - the way it is presented makes it look something anyone with a few ropes and a harness can do. Unless I missed it, I never seen a...

    Phase Technical (Phase Tech) - Service Reviews

    Have to second this, brought a harness recently from Nenad, easy to deal with.

    I wonder what this might be ?

    Looks a bit like the logo scouts use, but not it. I would suggest taking a clear photo of it on a white background and uploading it to google image search and see what comes up, may find something similar.

    27mhz or UHF CB radio discussion

    Re band conditions, the predictors are not always accurate. Quite often you will find 10m (28 MHz) working well and and 11m dead as a tack, and vice-versa. Summer months Dec - May are always the best, with the odd openings here and there at other times of the year.

    Greeting from Russia

    Gidday Andrey; Those coins look pretty cool, nice find. As for your detector I can't comment as I know nothing about it, maybe others here would have experience with them. I've never seen them sold here myself. Australia is a big place, if you were to come here I would suggest picking a state...

    Gold Prospecting, Detecting, General information/interest books

    I recall seeing (sometime back now) a Facebook group dedicated to Victorian Ghost towns. Where possible there were photos of what remained, or what is there now. I can't remember the name of it, but a search should yield some results.

    Glad I read this, was about to fork out for the spiral wheel today.

    Gumtree Scams- **Beware**

    Don't forgive being new, everyone has to start somewhere, just like everyone else here. Something some here seem to forget. From what I make if it, they are contacting those selling detectors, gaining details of the detector, serial numbers etc. Then making a for-sale advert of their own...

    fools gold

    Since gold, from what I know is not magnetic (could be wrong). Would it be worth running a magnet over what you have panned?

    Goldfields Goose vids

    Any of the GoPro range are good for doing Vlogs with, provided you have a bit of skill with the post-production process. But the more recent models such as the 8, 9 and 10 have some great features in them that are very handy when making videos. The 10 especially excels in the vlog domain. Most...

    Broken Hearted

    Sadly this had all the hallmarks of sad outcome from the beginning. I believe there is also another kid missing somewhere, I seen a few days back on one of the news websites. That's two, another one to come sadly, they always historically occur in three's.

    Getting started with Opal Mining

    They can be worth a fair bit of money apparently. From what I know (not much) they are not easy to find though.

    Aliexpress ???

    I have had no problems with Aliexpress. Just be prepared for very long waits on deliveries sometimes, can be up to three months in my experience.

    Snake Gaiters

    Do they work? Maybe? I have never seen any (news etc.) articles or posts about someone having their lives saved due to wearing gaiters. I have the canvas models, not sure if I would put a lot of faith in them. Leather may be better as it is more denser and tougher. I would have thought there...

    Online, Email Scams, Fake callers/Phone scams and other scam information

    Nice thought, the reality is it isn't that simple and clear cut. 99% of the time if you receive an SMS from a specific number (if it is a scam) the legitimate owner of that number will have no clue as to what is happening - this is why it is a bit silly to SMS back and abuse them (as some people...

    Snake Oil Sales 1852 style.

    I looked at the A for about 5 minutes, apart from sore eyeballs nothing happened!

    Geovic and Warburton Area

    Just keep an eye on GeoVic they may be doing some work/upgrades on it. I've noticed a few new things pop up in the last few months that were not there beforehand.
