glad you found some gold on your trip :) Bob always dries his mat out in the sun for a few days then turns it over & hits it with something hard & washes what ever dirt come out. You will get it all that way. I bought him a couple of mats made from the 'curly stuff' from Aldi & they are...

Morning members :) Did you see the article last week about Centrelink watching ebay & other internet sites for people who are selling gold? They said they have caught many welfare recipients who are selling on these sites. :o ranma

Bob rang last night & said GR's dry blower works well. Not a lot of gold there :rolleyes: but does a good job with what there is ranma :)
