Heya Marked, That sluice of yours should be able to move a decent amount of material & catch everything no probs. My McKirk is 1" narrower & 12" shorter & is adequate for my one man operation & am confident it catches it all. I classify to 1/2" with good flow or less in slow flow. Wasting time...

Welcome to the Forum Mickey. Hopefully you'll be onto the colour soon. Best of luck out there. Goldtruck59 - don't judge your prospecting skills after only one bucket of paydirt - you'll find there's a fair bit of hit & miss in this game - more miss than hit :D

Hey Oryx, That's a bugger about your wedding ring! I'm not sure if any members are near Sale/Seaspray... Bairnsdale gas goldfields North of it so it's possible someone should be able to help out - it's just a matter of wether they see this message. Sorry I can't be of any help though. Best of...

Take a big crowbar Beagle & move some of them big rocks - bound to pay off ;) Looking forward to some pics & report. Enjoy

At least the goannas had a happy ending :D

That's great going! Spot on about this being a great hobby. Not many other activities one does "can" potentially recover your costs. Most hobbies you just keep handing over cash on new gear/repairs/maintenance etc. Thanks for sharing ya story.

Then to dry it, just put your pan in the sun or spread the gold out in the pan & it'll dry over night. With a metal pan you can put it over a low heat(BBQ/stove/fire) to dry it. Then just tip it on a piece of A4 paper & make a bit of a funnel out of it & pour it into what ever you want.

Try going out with someone else with a 5K & compare settings?

The bloke looking after the local caravan park there :D knows a thing or two about detecting - maybe quiz him for a potential spot?

A house :D

Nice looking project mate. Did you TIG weld it together or use www.durafix.com.au ?

Gold looks like gold from any angle. The look of Mica changes as you look at it from different angles. Also, if gold was easily seen at the front of a mine, no-one would have left it behind. Cool looking mine though. If there's a creek bed nearby, I'd be cleaning out a few crevices & some more...

I've had a pair of them for about 2 years. Get worn every work day. They only just flogged out. Canvas "Quagmire" are the ones I got. $89 from most shops but seen some on eBay for $65 delivered. One guess where I'll buy my next pair from...

Welcome aboard Bird. What's the detector you got & are you after coins/relics etc. or into gold? Have you had any luck yet?

I prefer rinse aid, as detergent can tend to bubble(even if used in miniscule amounts) but will use detergent if I have to. Just a thought... In a washing machine, if you have too many bubbles/foam, then you add some fabric softner & the bubbles go away. I wonder if that would work to stop...

This is what I do to - I wait till I'm at home to really clean my concentrates because you can take your time... Add small batches(table spoon?) of concentrates to a pan with a big bottom(Garrett 15" pan or a big steel pan work great). then try the swirl method like here in the Youtube clip...

Excellent results 8) I still haven't had a go at this coin shooting game. That's good going Still Looking. Thanks for posting up

Couple of axe handles. I'm sick of using crap tools. From a clean up job, scored a couple of Hytest axe heads. One, a Craftsman & the other a Racing axe :D This all eventuated after fitting a new handle to my hatchet last week, which I found out is a Keesteel brand(quite desirable & holds an...

What a silly sausage

No problem buying/selling or building dredges - same as you can buy/sell or make bongs with no probs. You're just not allowed to use them for their intended purpose.
