I hear ya!... But I don't get much normal radio rep. Too, And it's the ABC that's hard to get! A pollie could win a few votes if he built some more stations, can't stand commercial ones. How expensive is it to fix?

Last year I knew a young prospector stand his ground against him! He had done his research and knew that anyone can fossick on any gazetted creek or river and up to 5 meters and 10 meters up the bank. The council guy is called and he looks at the high banker and water pump and says nothing...

I remember how cold Nundle was last year, but great place. Not sure why the gold is hard to find with the magic wand! With all that dirt on the hills you'd think the Chinese missed some.

A 120 watt could keep up during the day with sun but would kill your bat at night. I run mine on gas and turning it down to 1 or 2 helps save gas, a quick clean with a tooth brush around the jet carefully helps the burn on old ones. You could swap from one to another to save gas watching the...

All dogs are breed for some qualities, and it pays to research before such a big commitment. For me a Hungarian Poole is tops, my friend had one on his boat and over the years prove her self in many way! I'm not into smelly dogs or ones that just run around their yard barking at anything that...

Well done Nick, I guess you mean NE Tassie! I love the cold for keeping the pace up and thus staying warm, did you end up in the water! Im thinking your first question was over looked as a common one that ends up being answered with reading posts here. If you want to be noticed then try posting...

Nice highway1, were they from a sapphire farm or free range?

Great use of secondhand material, I'm a fan of the long tom and also like the idea of deep and fast too! My view is that they 'the miners' shovelled large loads through and by using water pressure to move the tailings. Plus the use of a sluice fork to clear the big rocks out, look forward to the...

Making noise and hoping they run away won't help because they are deaf and have no legs to run with :D..... Butt seriously gold miners should watch their ass!!! As it's the closes to the ground when panning :D......

Well done old timers and chalky I see your up in the wee hours reading forums. I named my son after a opal miner who was still going down the hole at 83 with his wife of 79. Well last year I chased up the story of what happened to Kevin and blow me up he went until 93! Always said he will die...

Amazing cutting by Doug and I too think spinel is under rated. And those Topaz are just wow.

Gidday Kate, we guard our Opal dirt for its Australia's gem stone, so sending any dirt over seas is a serious crime here. But if you want to move over here then we could put you to work in the opal mines... Oh welcome to the forum :D

Wonderful, when does the season finish?

Hey fossicking kid what I like to see is a new design from your own imagination, one that maybe called 'The Kid Banker' one day and lots of people will be hassling you for details or even build one for them. A new market I see is something that can classify, sort and be portable. Electric water...

Nice and portable, with a hose connection like that you may process more than a pan full at a time. Love it.
