Ah, the ammo box I must keep, love it. Same with the padlock :) I got a few more odd finds I will have to post to find out, maybe the front of a WW2 truck? Will get them up :) Once again, thank you everyone!

Thank you so much everyone, I really appreciate it :D

Would love to, just need a diamond blade saw first ;)

Hi all, I am looking for interested people to go relic hunting on private land. Quite large. Found several pre decimals, oldest 1864 half penny and gothic florin. Also many other finds, tractor parts, pre 1939 car parts etc. Please PM me if interested. Honest people only please :) Split if...

Sweet! Well done

Hi all, Hope you can help, I have quite a few objects I need to help identify, any help is appreciated. There are a few. Also, if you know what I could do with them. They are from an old house site believed to be burnt down in 1939. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Spanner with tree...

Hey Wally69, thank you for the tip, must go check out the tracks :) Galena, I get them to be able to fit in the pipe and just crush away. It takes awhile to get it ground to 'powder' for panning. The thing is I have to crush all of it to make sure I don't miss anything. But I keep stopping...

Oh, Galena - how are you going? Any updates?

Thanks Beagleboy and everyone. Got the husband to make this - can stand on either side to hold it down, works well :D So much crushing to do........ If I find fine gold is it more probable there will be alluvial gold? I presume so but I also presume I would need to find a 'deeper' rock/area...

Yep, my map overlays but not identically and when you zoom in it moves around. I think I am going to have to go ahead and just buy it for the $60 to make it easier. So true with the four wheeler and samples :) my husband was worried about me when came to upright it for me whilst I was running...

I will have to look at the mineral deposit site you mentioned, that will prob help me out more. I have got the rock types etc and fault lines although I am not a geologist so don't know what all of it means, wish I did! The geo map made it easier to find the fault lines, I have a few, but they...

You're right trashmagnet, there is also one in the US that you add the liquid to the ground up material and if it goes purple it means there is gold and there is enough of it to be of economic value. I would have to find the site again. I am looking for tests that can test for silver...

Sweet, thank you! I shall put my trusty husband on the project of making me one :D

Oops, need to add link to post sorry https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4789 Also, do you have geological maps of the area that you can use in google earth? And also maps of found gold in the area? These are invaluable as you can find out the exact rock types, if mines...

Hi Enzo, Here is a post I did today with rock samples. Hope it helps. It looks like there has been panning in the creek in the past although has not been gone through for some time. I have done quite a bit of research but still yet to find placer gold. I am still figuring out my detector :D...
