    Smelting gold for a ring

    Still trying to find someone who can do small batches. Unfortunately alot of refineries won’t take it or if they do then there is no guarantee that you get back your actual gold. You will end up with the same amount of refined product but not specifically the product you sent. Regards Mitch

    Best detector for creeks?

    Thanks for your response… I currently have an equinox 900. I have had some success with it but I was wondering how much better the GPX 5000 or the SDC 2300 was at getting small targets in crevices along a creek bed compared with my current machine. Regards Mitch

    Crown land lease NSW

    Cheers mate. I have submitted a few through the Dubbo and a lot seem to be leased. I am awaiting reply on a few other lots. It seems to be a bit of a lottery from what I’ve experienced. Submit a heap and hope one or two are available to fossick on. Regards Mitch

    Crown land lease NSW

    Thanks Matt, appreciate your help. I am finding it hard to access both Meroo and Grattai creeks as I can’t seem to get any clear answers from any authorities regarding my rights and responsibilities that is why I would like to look into leasing a parcel on one of these creeks so I can have peace...

    Crown land lease NSW

    Hi all, would like to know if anyone has leased crown land in NSW before? I am looking to potentially lease some land around the Mudgee region if possible. I know there is a lot of crown land out there but is there a way to find out what land is available to lease without contacting crown lands...

    Bridle track NSW

    Cheers mate, I might book a tour with JHob in the near future. I have camped at Turon crossing and Mary Flynn before but only camping and fishing, never panned before. Any parts of the river you recommend without giving away all your secrets?? Regards Mitch

    Hi all, I am looking at doing a little prospecting with my two young boys who are 8 and 6. We live in Mudgee and I was wondering if there was any gold along the bridal track? I would be coming in from hill end so would look at camping along the Turon. Any info would be great Regards Mitch
