    DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES and BUSH POWER

    Going back to my earlier post about flattening my LC battery, my DC-DC charger is a 45A unit, so with the alternator switched in, it recharges it in just over 2hrs. . 100Ahr battery .. 45A x 2hrs = 90Ahrs

    DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES and BUSH POWER

    3 weeks ago i accidentally let my 100Ah Lead Crystal (Aux) battery run down to 11.8V ... 1st time. Whilst dealing with a multitude of family problems I had been preoccupied & left the Alternator charge circuit breaker 'off'' & had unplugged the solar panel. I noticed via the remote fridge...

    German Want find gold

    Hello RussianGerman & welcome to PA Forum. Beware TV shows make it look like gold is everywhere & easy to find. We do have big areas but its not easy to find. You must do a LOT of research on gold prospecting in Australia before you come here (eventually when permitted). Also research the...

    Detector Depth Testing - Larger Gold

    I have a series of test targets i made from 50/50 lead/tin solder, each in a small plastic zip-lock bag with a strip of ribbon so they can be easily found & retrieved. (When buried vertically). I prefer to use the horizontal hole in an embankment test as it offers the least ground disturbamce.

    Gold around Yalgoo

    Haha had me a bit baffled. Not familiar with Dandaraga, hence why my 1st thought was you meant Dandaragan, but I was thinking 'WTF there's no gold there' ... & maybe Nightjar was twisting our leg. All clear now but :Y:

    Jurassic Park

    Mr Magoo ... dont die in the Outback (or anywhere) ... a good trick is to take one of the many water bottle filter units that are available. There is even a "drinking straw" although Im told its frustrating as it has limited capacity/rate. They arent cheap, but they can save you from waterborne...

    Transporting the Gold Monster

    I take my detectors off the shaft & put in a hard shell padded carry case for longer trips. For short travels from camp there's not really any need if you dont let it get knocked around.

    Whites Bought Out!!

    All too often 1 company buys out another, only to pillage & plunder whatever is useful to them, then on-sell whatever bits are left, & proceed to close the business down & lay off most of the employeees. This is often done to acquire a company's patents, manufacturing licences, trademarks...

    Old mines

    Assuming you're talking about WA, its not so much about whether access to the mine is legal or not just because its a mine. The real issue is does it have an ML, PL or EP etc. (Obviously a working mine would, but a disused site might be ok) You need to go onto TenGraph & research the area for...

    A simple GPS gadget

    Once the dingo has your leg he will run off with it, so you're safe from him. Then if you can stop the bleeding you might live long enough for a rescue team to reach you. Better odds than waiting it out with a snake bite :lol:

    A simple GPS gadget

    In WA goldfields if you get bitten by a snake you call a Dingo . . . to come & chew your leg off. :playful: :skull:
