Can't go wrong with the Garrett, season it up and they are good, i relearned to pan again recently and the Garrett is a pleasure to use. All the best on the hunt!

G'Day all, I reckon the plastic will be fine strength wise, i had a go at printing 3 sections at a small scale to see if the concept will work and i have to make a few tolerance adjustments so everything fits snug. The small scale the circular clips need more tolerance so full scale it may be...

Nice little downpour happening at the moment in Melbourne, hopefully Daylesford is copping a bit too.

Hey Guys, Been toying with the idea of a modular sluice that can be printed, knocked up a 3D render of it - Dimensions - 200 mm Wide x 120 mm Deep x 75 mm High. I can 3D print the riffles or you could use GH matting in them. Idea is to clip together as many bits to get the desired length. Was...

Awesome mate, i wont be able to get away till 11am on Sat, but yeah loving this rain :)

Hey Goldigga, Keen for a hi bank on the weekend? Cheers!

Hi All, I need to pick up a set of classifiers, can anyone recommend anyone in Australia - can't really wait for Fleabay and Amazon. After up to 100 for classifying for a blue bowl. I can always MacGuyver it if anyone can suggest anything. Cheers in advance!!

Hi All, Something i have been pondering - Obviously dredging is illegal without a permit, so why isn't dredging equipment restricted for sale to those with said permit? With all these Gold shops selling what is illegal equipment for the average joe, they are sort of promoting doing the dodgey...

Ill have a design done for the clip together jobbie and a prototype piece printed by the end of the week, my only concern is the toughness of the plastic for riffles and how long they will last having rocks roll over them for extended periods. Also another benefit I thought of was we could do a...
