Just thought I'd wake this thread up. Are members still able to buy PA merchandise? My shirt is of top quality & wouldn't mind seeing if there's any hoodies available. Also with all these group outings going on, it'd be great to see members out in their PA gear.

The dimensions to fit the head are 63mm x 23mm with parallel sides. 840mm long i believe. code 01-028 The markings on my pick head say 1lbs, 1537, Brades Co? or Trades Co?

Found a company that makes all sorts of handles - www.Krugers.com.au $14 for a miners pick handle. Bargain! :cool:

Yesterday I bought an old miners pick @ the Rosedale Man Cave Market for $10. Looks to be in reasonable condition. Anyone know how long the pick end is originally? This one is 9" from tip to handle. Looks about right to me. I've seen pictures of much worse worn ones... Next thing is to get a...

I'm not far off 1K. 1 post closer actually... :P

Still good to go in Vic as far as I'm aware

Good idea Nug :D , but same thing here - funds are tied up n tight. Add says age, ill health & no rest for 17 years is reason fo sale. They'll have no problem selling. It's a great business with a solid footprint on the market.

Hey Nugget. I too seen a post of theirs on FaceBook saying the business is for sale. I hope when it sells, the new owners continue the good work. Their product sure has a good name

Good thread, it'd be nice to see Balx back here too

I hear they're good. Don't know much about them but just the chemical you put in them isn't that cheap. Filter & recycle it.

Wishing you all the best. Thank you for helping make this site the best prospecting forum around. Cheers

Excellent choice. Thanks for helping the site stay a great place

Mine's me doctored onto Austin Power's Gold Member character :cool:

I've got neoprene lined gumboots - good as! Also got some waders that have neoprene booties sewn in. I've unstitched the Booties as I found the waders were too hard to put on once a little damp. The booties would bunch up & be very uncomfortable. Now I put the booties on & then slip into the...

It looks to be the same as a Rato pump - different paint & stickers. Inc postage, sounds like a good deal. It'll pump plenty of water. I use a 1" pump & it does fine at half throttle for my 250mm banker. If it comes with oil, get rid of it & put your own reputable oil in it & change it after a...

Heard good reports from the Rato pumps like what GaryO posted. Seen one running a banker earlier this year & it was fairly quiet & pumped plenty of water.

A 14" Garret & 15" Supersluice pan for me too. Got a couple of other different pans but keep going back to the Garretts...

Good to see you on here Nugget. That thing called life takes up lots of time & it's good to check into this place to unwind every now n then. I don't pop in often either but it's great to see the forum very active - massive achievement on your behalf for setting up something so successful...

Sounds like a good buy for $20. More pricy, but I got Led Lenser head torch too. Used & abused for over 2 years. Going strong. Great on battery life. Being adjustable in focus and power is a bonus.
