Yeah, I've had most of my luck withing the first 200 metres or so west of the power lines.

If you haven't found anything you are looking in the wrong spot. Plenty in Mogo. Took me a while to work a few spots out. Best I can say is don't drive past the power lines too far.

I work 8hr shifts on a 7 day rotating roster. (8.5hr shifts as we have an unpaid meal break) Roster is 8 rest days and 1 RLD every 4 weeks. Usually work 2 or 3 day shifts then 3 or 4 arvo shifts than a couple of days off. If required, they can roster us for double backs, with 10hr break between...

Hi lordo.1, I have been able to get my hands on a DVD called The outback prospector The GPX factor which is all about the GPX4000. He talks about settings and how the different settings work. Very informative DVD and well worth the watch if you can get it. It is made by a fellow named Jonathan...

Thanks for the offer Gypsy. I may need it...lol. I am still waiting for the nugget finder coil to arrive so I am just playing around with the GP extreme coil it had on it when I brought it. Not that I have been able to get out in the bush with it yet.

Hi everyone, Hoping for a little bit of advice. I have just brought a second hand GPX4000 but have no experience with the GPX series of detectors. I am wondering if the standard settings are good enough to run a new 12' Nugget Finder coil. I have search the internet and found a video with shows...

Get it into the main stream media. At the moment the only people who even know what is going on are people associated with forums like this. Maybe getting the issue onto one of the current affairs shows might be needed. Show them what a highbanker is and how they work and tell them what the...

Still remember heading into Newcastle to go and watch the Newcastle Falcons play at the Entertainment Center with 'Fly Like a Falcon' playing over and over on the tape deck. And who couldn't forget the mighty Kurri Kurri Bulldogs winning the grand final in 93, 94 and 95. "Go you mighty...

Not that I know of Les. As long as you keep to the river you should be fine. I have found plenty of flour gold in the area just down from the camping area.

Eurobodalla Council have declared the area a NSW fossicking district. Not sure what difference it will make but I suppose it is a step in the right direction. http://www.2ec.com.au/news/66136-eurobodalla-a-gold-mine-for-fossickers

Thanks for the running log and photos 20xwater. It has definitely been an adventure. Looking forward to seeing you find the mother load. Good luck with it all.

Welcome Rosswab, If your heading down Mogo way it might be worth while stopping in at Detectaden. They may point you in the right direction. You could also stop in at Old Mogo Town where you can try your hand at panning. Anyway, good luck and hopefully you find a sweet spot in Mogo creek....

I have to agree with you Cherokee, I also had a great time at Glen Innes. I found it to be a great little country town. I did hear that it can get a tad bit cold in winter though.... The Emerald mine was great, I was more than happy with my finds especially the 26ct Topaz. Spoke with Steve (mine...

Myself and Bezza will be heading off Tuesday morning. Should get to Glen Innes Wednesday morning for a bit of a look around.

They had a similar set up at the Newcastle show last year. No sure of the name but the fellow running it had bags of seeded dirt and a long tom style water system set up.
