How is it going Northeast? have you found any yellow with the QED yet?

Been a while since an update, how is your progress going Christian?

So by what steelphase and Goldilocks have said does that mean that using aluminium as a test piece for a vlf detector(gm100/equinox/gmt etc) would be closer to gold than using lead test pieces as the vlf uses conductivity rather than decay rate to assess targets?

just to bump an old post with some new info which has been posted elsewhere since, i think by mbasko, the new minview actually has all the state forest & Crown land layers now so no more swapping between maps, once you have the overlays setup in minview you can download your selected info and...

I'm looking forward to seeing that Rick, anyone who spends time away from detecting to run tests and comparisons for the good of the public knowledge has my respect and thanks, without them we would have a much smaller pool of knowledge to learn from and to base our decisions upon. Thanks :Y:

A stream, creek or river will need a slightly different approach to somewhere like sapphire bend, at sapphire bend you have an ancient wash layer that was deposited over a large area and can be worked in different spots as it is close enough to the surface to dig down to by hand. in the Oberon...

Bargain for someone to finish off. :Y:

having previously worked for them they offer the store wide deals at their cost, very rarely do any of the suppliers offer them a rebate/discount so they can run these sales. They make enough margin from their own branded product even when on sale to cover any cost associate with selling the...

same as above, the main thing i was getting at was to check it thoroughly and check all parts of it that are accessible as the gold can occur in any part of it or not at all. All prospecting is exactly that checking prospects, the best way to find out if something is there is to put in the time...

Don't forget to strip out any GPS info from your photos as well, if you are taking them with a GPS enabled camera or phone. there are a few ways to do it google is helpful , not sure if the forum strips the images before they are uploaded but better safe then sorry. Good luck i look forward to...

Someone with more experience in reef mining may be able to give you a better indication but i would be taking my samples from the contact zones between the quartz vein and the host rock or junctions in the vein and the most mineralised/altered looking parts of the quartz.

OP already has a SDC, although he could swing to and better his chances :D

Vehicle The best AWD/4X4 you can afford for around $5000 - you could also consider looking at an AWD wagon/suv such as a forester/outback which will cope with most decent and not so decent dirt roads. - you will get a lower km and later model AWD forester/outback than you will a 4X4 Wagon...

It doesn't look like you have much water depth on top of the cells, from memory i think they recommend 1 inch on top of the mat as the suitable water depth for the dream mat. possibly need a bigger GPH pump? 8) love that clean up sluice, nicely built! :Y:

This is a great attitude from a retailer, we as consumers have a right to significant warranties as per the consumer law and most manufacturers & retailers try as they might to get around this and only honor their own warranty periods, sometimes not even. It is refreshing to see a retailer be...
