Yes, I am here. How can I help you Yakka?

I found some reliable resources. I checked these locations for access yesterday. There are several entry points around the town of Adelong, where you can access the Adelong Creek via public road and in camping areas, where there are no fences. A few electric fences along the creek are broken due...

Phill, At this time in 1988 it could have been the McManus family that was running the Adelong Caravan Park, which I knew the family through work and socially. Either way, I am pretty sure we would be speaking of the same persons. Adelong Caravan Park can be contacted via the website link...

Hello Phil, Nice to hear from you. The Trout fishing is good up that way. It's been good again in the Adelong Creek over the last few years. Just recently Trout Cod have been introduced. It's unknown how this will go with the Trout. Police were extremely helpful and we knew them through family...

Hello Uncle Bob, I received an email message from you regarding coming to Adelong from the South Coast area but I am unable to reply by email because its a no-reply email sender. Of course if you wanted to come this way for a weekend or other, I would be more than pleased to show you a couple...

Hello Phil, This is an interesting passage. At that time I knew a fellow that lived on one end of the Adelong Bridge near the Adelong Caravan Park that undertook the prospecting method you described with the scuba diving gear. I saw a jar nearly full of coarse fines too. His family ran the...

If you decide to come this way again towards Adelong, please get in touch with me via Prospecting Australia forum. Many years ago prospectors would spend weeks at the top end of the Adelong Creek, close to where the Adelong Creek starts as a spring. The prospectors were using dredging...

I am adding 3, 6mm Ferrite Core Filters to the Eureka Gold coil cable, where the coil cable meets the coil as well. I am tapping the spiraled coil cable to the shaft with heavy duty electrical tape, for further protection and insulation and to reduce any possible movement of the spiraled coil...

At the moment I am trialing some Ferrite Core Filters with the Eureka Gold. I have 5, 6mm Ferrite Core Filters connected to the cable just outside of the Eureka Gold box. This is to introduce interference filters and to reduce noise caused by EMI sources. My occupation is electronic sweeping for...

Hello Heatho, Thank you for the warm welcome. Well the media explained the Chinese investors would collect 49% profit from what ever gold was extracted from the 2 million dollar investment. Locals here had put money into the mine I was told with drilling each time down worth $250, 000.00...

Thank you for the welcome noncents. Well I have no shortage of business background. If you have a gold pan and a detector then your in business too. Cheers Peter :)

Hello JR, Cheers and thanks for that. Funnily enough my grandfather was a tour guide in the Adelong area in the 70's before he passed. He would take people who visited the Adelong area out on fossicking tours including panning and the use of the gold cradle, which he built. We go back a long...

Hello Chewy, No problem. Thank you for your welcome note. Most of the country in the Adelong region, I have been on 4wd, motocross and recreational shooting expeditions. I have been out now and then with the detector. Last weekend I went to Mount Adrah close to Adelong where the Mount Adrah...

Hello, I am new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. I am from Adelong, NSW 2729, a past historic productive gold mining town. I have read a few posts online regarding prospectors wanting to know their way around the Adelong area. My family have resided here from the 1850's and I have...
