Thanks Bacchus will give it a shot soon.

Thanks for the advice on chapel Hill phase tech. Spent couple hours wondering and having a swing every now and then. Definitely alot nicer ground then Jupiter creek. Managed to find a couple prices of junk so I'm happy. Will be heading back there soon.

Thanks guys. I know I got a lifetime of learning in front of me. Will def give chapel Hill a go. I've read to dig every target whilst learning the machine but if I did that at JC I would have to turn the place upside down. I just loved getting out bush with the family, if I can find some Yella...

Will do. Thanks!

Looking at doing a family holiday over the border digging for pretty's as my 3year old daughter likes to call fossicking. Any locations in vic close to the sa border that would be good to spend a week or two at?

Cheers for the quick reply. I'll get a couple photos up by the weekend. Only very small ones I've found so far max being 6-7mm diameter.

Newbie question but are the garnets worth much? I have been working as a stonemason for the last five or so years and always see why I think are garnets and gold specks in slabs of granite and marble. Got a heap of off cuts with garnets with a heap of what I think are red/purple garnets put...

Spewing there is no water source there. Was sorta hoping to find one haha

Went there today for first time. Few people with detectors out. And a few fresh holes. All I had was a small shovel a bucket and some pans. Didn't find a water source but I was randomly walking around ( half got lost ) watch out a few mine shafts that aren't fenced in. Found some nice looking...

new member and first time poster. heading up there today for an explore I will let you all know what its like. never tried this sorted thing before. I am a stone mason by trade so to speak, making benchtops out of granite and marble. love getting out in nature so hope this hobbie can bring two...
