Well bloody g'day I say

[Olmate]

I'm computer illiterate to start with , takes me ages to even type a word , single digit type stuff , single finger , I'm not really a stone hunter but the other half is super keen to look for sapphires etc in rivers , which means im going to have to dig basically to China , I've got no idea where to start or how to do it , but if it makes her smile what can I do , I'm into more hunting and fishing , im old school and would rather call than text , or use a uhf cb radio which is one of my strong points , I ended up signing up here due to the vast amount of info and the helpful info I found when lurking , all in all I can't imagine anybody wanting to give away nor do I expect any help or info re grabben gullen but that's where our first trip will be tomorrow in a hope to find some colour in a sieve , but I must say that the info on here and Wal n lizs vids are a great start to what may seriously become an addiction , either way if there's anything I can help with feel free to ask , if not keep up the good work and keep the greeny informed as it is much appreciated and helps to keep the cook happy , cheers and happy prospecting with the best of Irish luck to you all , regards Olmate

Welcome aboard, as a fisherman and hunter you must have some component of "prospecting" in your blood. GG is a good start so hope you do well.

Welcome to the forum olmate, you'll enjoy yourself here with the rest of us oldies and youngsters (under60) as well.
Whereabouts' in this big country do you hail from? just generally is good enough--it helps us with assisting you with areas to search.
I see the wife is a gem fossicker and your a yella hunter. Many of us chasing both,some lucky -some not. Good luck with your efforts and post some pics on the way.

I started typing this reply at too two 2 . Thir30AMam and hoping to get it away before too long,... there is no hope for you now(you were addicted when you were lurking), you'll just need the wifey to move over a bit so you can shut down her facebook and get more time here on the forum for yourself(ha), It's OK they love looking at this stuff while you type anyway,...speaking of which I better stop typing now as my tow toe is starting to cramp again and it's 2 too hard typing with the other one.
Cheers and welcome Olmate.
Silver.

Cheers.

Welcome Olmate,

There's plenty of reading here about Grabben Gullen that should answer most of your questions?

I have seen you around a lot because I am always saying to my boys:

"Look over there, what's Olmate doing"

or "Olmate better get off that ladder before he goes arse over"

or "I wonder if Olmates getting any gold over there"?

I see you everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And if I every get to meet you, the best thing is I wont forget your name. i.e. "Gday Olmate how things been"!!!!!!!

Hope you find some sapphires to make the day worthwhile.

Cheers

RS

G'day Ol'mate

Similar to yourself a Grabben Gullen stop is now being worked into our trip after my wife caught glimpse of the shiny blue stone in a Wal n Liz video. Personally very glad , for it as it gives us something to look forward to which we can do together , where as the countless hours I spend detecting is no fun for her . I have found the forum fantastic with most willing to share their knowledge , and as can be seen in a couple of posts above , a few cunning linguists to keep us entertained whilst learning.

Good Luck

Hi Olmate,

Yep, I'm a recently conformed lurker too! You're right, this forum certainly does have a vast amount of helpful info!

All the best and happy fossicking!
