Such dark staining on those nuggetts. Can you reveal what state you found them in ?

I just use my hearing aids under the normal headphones on the GPZ 7000. The signals get amplified to my buggered up old eardrums and i find a bit of gold here and there. Cheers .

Great finds, look water worn. Were they close together?

I had my dog baited very close to Coolgardie. It was very sad watching him die. I didnt realise there were any stock nearby until after he picked up the bait otherwise i would have been more careful. I didnt think you would put baits out so close to town. Normally i had a muzzle for him but he...

Good info here in these comments. I have had great use of the trilobite app but am having a lot of trouble downloading the pastoral lease data. Any suggestions about this people?

Not sure if that is right ,most GPS units lock onto a whole set of satellites to get their accuracy. Can't be done with just one is my understanding.

That is stunning fella. How do you form the hole for the handle? Also incredible that the broad blade part came just from the end of dog spike. You would have been in huge demand in the Viking days or a price placed on uour head .Great work.

Thats a bloody classic. Haha loved it

Wow, looks terrific, could that steel be honed to a sharp edge Dave? I imagine that dog spike steel has a high carbon content.

Sorry to hear that story. Will be very tough for you both. My wife had bowel cancer which had spread everywhere in her liver. Too far gone to even operate they said. Anyway they reckoned with chemo she could live for about 18 months. After a record 81 cycles of chemo she had a remarkable...

Industrious bugger. There must be something in that Cue water that gives heaps of extra zing.

Great piece of work. Reckon you could market a lot of your projects. Pretty unique.

Great work there.

Doubles as an anti burglar device perhaps.

Pretty impressive list of what you can turn your hand to Phil. I will try your lanolin idea as small cracks already beginning to appear on the chopping block.

Wow ,what a great sight and photos there. Would have made my day seeing that. A mate and i saw a few Major Mitchells up north of Bullfinch last year but it was only a fleeting glance as they took off from the side of the road. They make great pets i believe. Met an old bloke who had one for 50...

Bugger. Cut another hunk n start again Phil. Your wood story reminded me of mine. We were down south near Denmark the other day taking in some nice lush bush scenery before the next more desolate looking NE goldfields trip, when i came across a bloke loading up his 4wd with sawn round logs. He...

They look great. Bit of a unique design there. What size was the steel stock piece you started with Dave?.

Great blacksmithing. Good the steel still has its lustre and no corrosion.

Yes , thanks for clearing that up. I remember reading something about quenching hot metal in oil to produce a certain temper. Thats why i asked about the oil. Good items you've been making there. Cheers Bora
