Hey everyone, I was wondering which scales you guys use to weigh gold/stones. I need quite a precise one, to the nearest 0.01 gram or better, as i have some very small stones. So many cheap options on temu, but i doubt i can trust that junk to be accurate. Any cheap scale recommendations? also...

That point on how fossickers bring money to country towns is a big one. Nobody would even know the name Mooralla if it wasnt a fossicking place. Also, the Batesford quarry had roughly 120 fossickers at its last open day. I can guarantee half those people stopped at coffee shops and pubs etc on...

Think these are good news or bad news for us prospectors?

Also looks like anorthoclase. Dont know the area though so not sure

If there is even a whiff of information about its location mining companies over the last few decades would have been looking for it, no doubt. There were likely more expeditions than we think. Who says the mining companies have to tell the public that they are looking for the reef? Im eager to...

Im still confused by all of this. So, this is not a NEW law or whatever, but a change to an old one. On Geovic, none of the colours, green, blue or red, are available to us amatuer fossickers, right? Did the government give a reason for these changes? And these changes were immediately put in...

Hope theres not another eureka stockade

Ive seen similar things in a place northwest of Beechworth where i go looking for quartz

Very interesting - a great glimpse into the history of the area

Wondering the same thing, i have a whole lot of cut peridot. You could contact jewellery makers if you have a bunch of tiny ones.

I saw 1.59 for unleaded 91 in melbourne, the lowest ive seen in years

You could also sand them by hand if you only have a couple

Was wondering if there are any places close to Eumundi or Yandina where I can find thunder eggs. I've heard of the old thunder egg farm that closed decades ago, but was hoping somebody knows a specific area to check. I'm here for another week. Thanks 😊 Manficat

Very, very nice! The polar opposite of where i live

I'm planning on organising some fossicking trips for my club and was wondering which quarries I could try and contact. Of course there are the well known ones like Mt Shadwell, Lake Boga and the like, but they are all 3+ hours away. Apart from those and the Batesford quarry, does anyone know any...

Such an amazing find! Shame theres none of that in victoria

Nice job, thats better than i have ever done!

My first proper sapphires. All very small though. From Victoria. Also got a possibly cuttable zircon

Steiglitz really is a nice place. Its one of our favourite walks. We got caught out with the road at the end too. I have panned in the small section that is legal and got a tiny bit of colour. Great to know you had a good time too! 🙂

Yeah, good luck! The Otways are my neck of the woods. There's no gold there, but I'm sure you can find something in the Wombat and the High country. I'd wait until it warms up a bit though 😂 When it warms up again I want to have a pan in the Wombat state forest too.
