Hey all, Just a little update I finally got my pump, 2 inch 8hp little banger that took me a bit to work out why it was surging and cutting out on me but once I learned to drive it it worked great! I went to slaty creek on Saturday to check out the ground and get a feel for the area and I...

Hey Mudgee, did you ever get around to using this beast, planning on building one today or tommorow and was just wondering weather youd do anything differently, yours looks the business by the way mate :Y: Haydos

Thanks for the tips guys, 1-2 over the cells, holy crap haha im getting probably 10mm haha so thats probably the issue, the guy I bought it off said that it worked fine for him but I need to redesign the stand/water delivery system as I really hate it :N: Im really not a fan of the...

Hi guys, hope you all had an awesome Christmas and are enjoying the time off with family/gold. I picked up a 10' sluice with dream mat and a header box on a pre built stand and im not convinced its set up right and im just after some tips/criticisms that anyone can offer me, sorry in advance...

Thanks for that link butterfingers, ahh sorry Doug lol, ill check it out. :Y: This is probably the worst question to ask but mineralised ground? What does it mean? Lol The only area that I can comfortably go into and not get lost is red gravel/sand, grey clay and lots and lots of quartz and...

Hi all, Just after a bit of advice regarding my GM this is my first detector so I don't really know what I'm doing with it, I've been getting lots and lots of targets that disappear at all sensitivity levels once I dig down 6-8 inches, targets that will only sound off when swinging left over...

Hey Chris, well to be honest i didn't know what the difference was between a sluice and a HB but now i do i think haha im going to buy a better classifier so i suppose that will be my start point, how long would you recommend the sluice run to be? yeah tell me about it, at least my wife is...

Hello All, so I've decided I want to try to build a hand feeding river sluice and I've been searching on google and this forum's DIY section and I haven't been able to find measurements of the sluice run or feeder area so I'm just wondering if anyone has a sluice that they might be able to...

Today my wife surprised me with a GM1000! Pretty stoked to say the least, I panned my first bit of gold yesterday but came down with the flu today so that present was a nice pickmeup, Can't wait to have a crack with it :D

Well we had a blast today, no gold but dug up a few relics, we met a panner down in the nearby creek who showed us his finds for the day and his tips and techniques, pretty good day all round nice weather and some new skills! :Y:
