    Changes in Victoria's prospecting rules

    Those that wish to lock up all our lands and take away all our remaining freedoms must be enjoying watching us in the prospecting community infighting and slinging mud at each other. Time to look at the bigger picture people and unite, or recreational prospecting will be a thing of the past in...

    Car Hire WA crazy rules and pricing?

    Just buy a good old second hand Pajero or similar 4X4 when you get here for around $6 to $8k, even if you lose some money because you have to sell it quickly when leaving, you will still be way ahead of renting.

    Minelab dumping smaller dealers

    Good Idea, Yes, Let's boycott Codan/Minelab! At least until the the release of their next Supa Duper Flagship Gold Detector. Then we can all rush back to them begging them to take our money and to give us one of their new toys to play around with, LOL Lets face it people, their top of the...

    DD Leather Bunji Shaft Attachment

    I swear by them, I wouldn't not use a GPZ without having one of those heavy duty bunji cords attached on the shaft, even when detecting with the smaller coils, rarely needs adjustment. I purchased a hipstick thingy many years ago but have never felt the need to use it as with this setup I can...

    $4000 an ounce

    I think you are the one that is misinformed, grub. I could post hundreds of YouTube video's going back many years talking about this very subject. Look them up and educate yourself. Just because they have not yet reached consensus about how to implement the gold backing does not mean it will...

    Axiom or 4500 ?

    That's been pretty much my experience as well going over my old patches with the GPZ 7000 after the GPX 5000 had cleaned them out. Lots of time and effort put into it for very little reward to show for it, apart from one nice 1/4 oz bit got of some very noisy ground near Inglewood. To be...

    Axiom or 4500 ?

    Axiom or 4500? Neither. For just about the same money or just slightly more you can pick up a good secondhand GPX 5000, (just be careful that you don't buy a fake) This is my third go to machine, after the GPX 6000 & the GPZ 7000. It has found me quite a bit of gold over the years. Whack on...

    $4000 an ounce

    Its past its use by date and is currently on life support, it will soon fade into history as have all the other world reserve currencies in past history. What's the current US debt? I think I read somewhere that it in the $30s Trillions and going up at a trillion dollars every few months, with...

    $4000 an ounce

    Over $4020 now and the US markets are not even in action yet. Most unusual to have such gold firmness in just the European trading session. Should be an interesting trading day in the US, who know much further the price can go tonight. Unless the paper gold casino operators flood the market...

    For Sale Book: Gold Dredging in New South Wales .

    Great historical book with lots of useful information, I would buy it myself if I did not already have it in my library collection Good luck with the sale Mike678. Hope no member or mod on here has a hissy fit, as "dredging" seems to be a taboo word in most prospecting circles' these days.

    Why the gold price is surging and what it tells us about global stability

    $4k coming soon, maybe as early as next week. The BRICKS summit is happening in 10 days time so maybe that might be a catalyst for even higher prices. Looking forwards to the next goldmania phase as the last one happened over 40 years ago for me and is now only a distant memory. Don't worry...

    Why the gold price is surging and what it tells us about global stability

    I am surprised how few people are seen out there detecting for gold in Victoria's Golden Triangle considering that the price is at record levels approaching $4k. I remember when I was a young fella around 1979/80 and gold hit $800 per ounce, I was travelling into Dunolly to look for gold and...

    Why the gold price is surging and what it tells us about global stability

    Yes, It has hit the fan, but it has not hit most people directly just yet, when it does it will be epic for those who who don't hold real money and real wealth.
