No luck. Just got back to Melbourne so I was only there for 1 night. Didn't finish work until late both days so no chance to prospect. Shame, maybe next time.

Yeah I know Jaros. Won't be making that mistake again. Currently looking at 4x4s to buy in the near future. Luckily someone was nearby to pull me out. Literally as I got pulled out, another forum member turned up unexpectedly and proceeded to go through said holes with no problems. Made me laugh...

Thanks Brendomac. I'm based in Melbourne so it's not too far to drive for me. I know of a few creeks in the golden triangle to try that have flow so I'll give those a go if I get the time. I've been up to Reedy prospecting and camping a few times. Funnily enough I got stuck in my 2wd hilux and...

Hello everyone, Heading up to Bendigo at the end of the week for work and should be staying up there for a couple of days. Does anybody know of any creeks that have some flow and are easy to access (I will only have a 2wd due to work)? Or better still, is there anybody that lives up that way...

Hi all, I've started a new Instagram account to show my mini adventures prospecting and some of the beautiful scenery we are lucky enough to come across and also some of the gear I use. The page is called lostpomeprospecting. If any of you have Instagram, have a look and let me know what...

Hi mate. Yeah it's great. If you need to hike/walk into an area that isn't easy to get into, it's great for putting it in a large backpack. The only downside is you need a sieve and bucket. The dream cells are really good, i like watching them work and they are fairly easy to get the hang of...

I still haven't had an email back and their website still has the payment problem statement so i'm not sure what's going on. I've ordered a 10" Sluice from Gold Rat Highbankers and i'm waiting for that to be delivered now. I didn't want to wait too long as i don't know how long the good water...

As far as i know it is. I'm pretty sure it was set up by someone on this forum. The website says it is based in Sippy Downs. It's too late now, i've gone for a gold rat sluice again. Can't beat the customer service and the price is better.

Does anybody know whats going on with the Croc Gold Traps company. I've been watching the website for a week now and there is always a message about them having payment problems at the moment. I sent an email earlier but haven't had a reply yet.

No problem mate, glad i could help. I've only been doing it for 6 months myself. A snuffer bottle is a small soft plastic bottle with a straw at the tip. When you squeeze the bottle air comes out of the straw, when you stop squeezing air is sucked back into it. When you have gold in your pan...

Yeah i won't touch it. If i find more i'll keep it all together.

I have a question. Why did the old timers use mercury?

Do you know what, i was sure i had another picker and when i got home it was missing. But now you have said that i am certain its covered by mercury now. I also thought i had more gold than what i had, as in smaller specks. I'll keep it all separate. Thanks for your help.

Thanks mate. I doubt i have enough to make it worth getting a distillation device. If i find anymore i'll collect it all in the same vial and decide what to do with it. Total weight for about 3 hours of sluicing and a couple of extra pans was about 0.16grams, although most of that is probably...

Interesting video. Thanks for the link and information.
