Some nice photos on the main page. Just a tip for you, from what I can tell you have registered the domain yourself via Namecheap. Go to your DNS (Domain Name) manager webpage and in there should be an 'ID Protection' option, enable it. I will show you why via a private message. Basically all...

Okay I am going to chime in on this topic. Some may not agree with what I say, that is fine, but they are based on actual personal experience. I will start with Forester's, since that is what I am seeing in the last post. If you are not going to be tackling anything offroad / make your own...

I like the brooch and the old Lemonade top, the top is probably worthless value-wise, just make a nice piece in a display cabinet. On our property the was an old pub on one side and a church on the other. So you can guess when I get my detector the first things to get a sweep over. There was a...

Okay here is the first, Paddys Ranges just short of Maryborough. The whole area around here is scattered with reefs, mines and shafts. There are no documented shafts within Paddys Ranges. I have included 'Laura' not sure whether it is a reef, mine or shaft, it lays on the Southern end and you...

Would anyone be interested in VIC KMZ files for Google Earth with markers for historic reefs and mines etc? I am slowly in the process of making these for the Parks your allowed to prospect in. Nothing esoteric about it all, just info from GeoVic marked out on a Google Earth KMZ file.

Welcome Jakal. Hope you enjoy your time here.

They made need to enlist the services of a secretary to handle all the questions that may get thrown at them :) Good to see professional prospectors here, mere mortals like myself could learn some worthwhile tips. Gypsies, send them to me :D

If they are indeed 'The Gold Gypsies' I'm pretty stoked. They seem pretty down to earth on the show. Maybe I will get to meet them when I eventually get over to WA :)

Post production is by far the most time consuming. The biggest mistake most make is trying to make their video 'flashy', they spend huge amounts of time on fancy edits, effects and essentially end up with a pile of .... You can do very good videos with the likes of GoPro's, most of the...

Yes I agree, it does not take long for the bush to change. Even within a few years, I myself have gone back to places I knew very well only to be scratching my head due to excessive tree/scrub growth and all your typical landmarks being swallowed up. It would be very interesting to discuss it...

If you are detecting in very remote areas of Australia, this may sound silly to some - but ADS-B could in some cases be a life-saver. If you have an ADS-B setup in your vehicle you could easily identify VFR and low IFR traffic, so if your in need of desperate help and have no other forms of...

Firstly, thanks to everyone for their comments and input - much appreciated. The more responses the more questions I have floating around in my head. I probably should have been a bit more clear in my intentions, apologies if this has caused any hairpulling :) Main focus is gold - primary...

Thanks both for the replies. I am starting to lean away from the Garrett, whilst no one has specifically commented on them, I get the impression that people don't think much of them due to lack of comments. Correct me if I am wrong. I will do some more research on the Nokta Impact. It looks like...

Thanks mate.

Rob; Thanks for your response wish I knew half as much about detectors as I do radios! As for buying second-hand, definitely no offence to anyone here but I am wary of doing so - mainly because right now I would not know a lemon from a humdinger, as you stated warranty is worth its weight in...

I realise this is an old post, but the info may be of use to others. Hopefully I have enough posts up to add the link: vk3mhz.com Check the radio comms menu category for listing on what the different UHF channels are for. UHC CB is a class licence, meaning you no longer require to apply for a...

I would like to start with Victoria as it is closer to home, although am interested in crown land mapping for WA and QLD. I have some friends relocating to Cairns at the end of October, in conjunction with going to visit them I would also like to have a scout around while I was up there.

As far as I am aware it is produced wholly in Western Australia for discovery networks. Check out Discovery TV site, may be something there.

John; Thanks for your reply, will do some more researching.

Excellent 'Motherlode' of information here. Read it four time already, now it is time to go back to the start and write down some notes!
