Well done Joao! Now I have to admit you know more of the words to that song than I do :)

Hi Peacekeeper I'd love to get my hands on one of your crevice attachments but notice you don't have PM/Email enabled here and I couldn't find you on eBay. Are you still making/selling these?

"Hi. My name is Golddigg. It's been 3 days since my last highbanker purchase..." You've got some serious options there. I guess half the fun is deciding what to take with you.

Could oil potentially soak into what you're cutting - particularly if it's a bit porous - and ruin it?

Just wondering if there is any science or recommendations behind how fast a trommel should turn? I've been thinking about a pelton drive trommel add-on to my Walbanker. I think you could make a pelton drive reasonably easily from metal scraps (or maybe spoons :) ) and you wouldn't have to lug...

Hi Lancebarker Not sure if you're from Vic or Canberra, but MetalMart at Fyshwick (Canberra) has a scrap metal facility out the back and usually have the vertical catwalk mesh cheap. I still haven't been able to locate the sloped mesh as yet. DirtyBob

Half the fun is getting there. Thought you were going to stop and setup until I saw bitumen again. A lot of river crossings... Just need a bucket line on the front and a sluice on the back...

Amazing how aggressive you can be with a Super Sluice. I have other Garrett pans I really like, but Santa was very thoughtful this year ;) and gave me Super Sluice (how did he know?) You'd want to be confident to use Wal's swirling technique as shown in the vid. I guess practice makes perfect.

Hi Paul Didn't see an email but YES still looking. Could you possibly try PM me again and I'll keep an eye out. Many thanks

I've been down there a few times on day trips recently. Each time there have been a few people camping on the gravel bar and on the other side of the road (opposite the old campground). I didn't see the signs but not sure if I just missed them, or somebody pulled them down. Not saying it's...

You could easily spend the day there with a pan looking for spots before lugging a highbanker. Too hot for me at the moment but good excuse for swim down there.

Hi Todd Not sure about detecting spots, but Oallen Ford is a good place for kids and a highbanker. There's gold everywhere so he kids won't be disappointed - trick is finding spots with more gold than others. 2wd access to the gravel bar below the bridge. Head to Neriga via Tarago and you can't...

Bump ? Still wanted...

That would be great if you do! - Thanks Paul
