Afternoon all
New to all this, am about to buy a pan and will be doing some panning in and around cairns.
Fell free to drop me a line and point me in the right direction, am interested in some gold panning and gemstones.
Cheers
Drew

Hi ItsDw. Not sure about After Easter as I start a new job on the 27 Feb don't want to push my luck asking for time off.Easter holidays would suit me better I am keen to have a look around tho are you thinking Edmonton way I have just returned from 5days out bush relic hunting got some nice finds including a 1899 English penny hope to get back out there next week for a few days cheers Lozza
 
Gday itsdw and lozza,
good to see some more cairns lads out and about exploring!

If you want some hands on help with panning and sluicing or just a yarn and a beer sometime let me know ill happily come help.
Will prob have to wait for this rain to bugger off but it should be gone by easter.

Also the next meeting will be at my place in about a month, keep an eye out closer for the exact date.

Cheers,
TGW.

Hi All

You look like you have all made a wonderful community here. Just wondering if there are any groups of families that like to go out fossiking or groups that have women aswell. I am a bit hesitant to go to the gem club/miners den meetings as it seems like a bit of a mens thing. I have found quite a few topaz out at Obrians Ck and Innot but I would like to have a go at gold.

Thanks M
 
Hi and welcome i am sure you will get some replies as the guys and girls come on line
Lots to read on here so sit back and enjoy
 
Hi Natures,

Welcome to the forum. Get your 10 posts up and you will be able to access the members only section. I believe that the guys will be getting together on Sat 17th March at the Red Beret for lunch. Lots of info and knowledge to be gained by meeting the crew. Carol and I won't be able to get there this time as we are getting our gear ready for a trip to Perth in April.

Enjoy the forum.

Cheers

Doug
